Live CF parking thread (with diagram!)

So NC for this as not sure if neighbours are on here.

I am off today & woke up to the sound of doors banging and loud voices.

Have a glance out of bedroom window & there are 2 vans & a land rover parked on my ACTUAL drive!

Now I guess it's easily mistaken as a public car park Hmmso don't say anything immediately but once I'm up and toddler is dressed I go downstairs to see.

My next door neighbours are away on holiday. But of a weird driveway as their house has its own but it's round the back of ours and ours is at front so if you use sat nav it brings you to ours as their house is other side of our driveway ifyswim.

Diagram to show you what I mean.

Anyway they are unloading tools etc onto big sheets on my drive and walking over grass to neighbours

I said to them it was a private drive and could they move onto neighbours and they said they won't be long Angry

I was too shocked to say much more than 'no please move now'

Grrrrrrr!

All this because he couldn’t bear to move when a woman asked him.

TheHodgeoftheHedge · 07/08/2019 19:35

Good on your DH!

JoxerGoesToStuttgart · 07/08/2019 19:35

I fucking love your DH and FIL!!

Superstars the pair of them!

LOL brilliant.

JustLikeJasper · 07/08/2019 19:36

Please take a picture of twat van man sitting in his van all annoyed 😂

Bookworm4 · 07/08/2019 19:36

FIL is a hero too, invite him in for a beer; then he can’t drive his big van 😉

IvanaPee · 07/08/2019 19:36

Haha! Love it.

So has FIL come in for a cuppa? Isn’t he diabetic? Low blood sugars? He must have a cuppa and a biscuit before he can drive again surely...

LakieLady · 07/08/2019 19:36

Please don't let him out until lots of the local FB people have been round to point and laugh at him!

StoorieHoose · 07/08/2019 19:36

And all he had to do was put his hands up to being an arse but he couldn't even do that and tried to blame you! I would leave the fucker there all night for his lack of apology

CandleWithHair · 07/08/2019 19:37

Sadly he sounds the sort of twat not to learn from this. When it’s over please name and shame the company!

PepsiLola · 07/08/2019 19:37

Wonder if he's getting paid overtime 😂

Serves him bloody right and well down FIL

diddl · 07/08/2019 19:38

CP plastering?

Are the letters rap missing from the middle of that?

harriethoyle · 07/08/2019 19:38

This is incredible. You've cheered me right up after a shitty day!!

WiddlinDiddlin · 07/08/2019 19:39

This is brilliant, please can you do a diagram of mr van man and fil van and van and HERODH etc etc. Thankyou.

sallyedmondson · 07/08/2019 19:39

Just googled CP plastering and there are loads of them. Don't suppose you could give vague location could you op?

Pumperthepumper · 07/08/2019 19:39

This is excellent 😂

This is definitely thread of the year material!

You have made my day!

gungera · 07/08/2019 19:40

How totally ridiculous, why does someone think they can do that 🤦‍♀️

SauvignonBlanche · 07/08/2019 19:41

Love your FIL, he derserves a few beers.
Of course he wouldn’t be able to drive then. Grin

CharlieandLolaCat · 07/08/2019 19:42

Oooh just read all your updates OP. I am seething for you! What a CF!

PurpleCrazyHorse · 07/08/2019 19:42

What a family of heroes. It's about time that these sort of entitled people were taught a lesson.

Of course, I'm sure you'll move 'in a minute' Grin

Singlebutmarried · 07/08/2019 19:42

Most excellent and awesome outcome.

Cheeky fecker should have just buffered off when asked (at 8 am or thereabouts)

LakieLady · 07/08/2019 19:43

Sadly he sounds the sort of twat not to learn from this.

More fool him. I hope that it happens to him over and over again until he does damn well learn.

I don't think he should be let out until he's made a fulsome and grovelling apology to the OP. And I'm secretly hoping the DM lift this for a story in their filthy rag, just to share the schadenfreude.
