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!

Send out some white paper for him to write an apology on.... he can wave it to say he surrenders and we can all get to see the note! Best day ever today:.::. Kids cooked tea... master chef Australia is on.... and a brilliant CF parking thread! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

'He can wave it to say he surrenders' 😂😂 haha brilliant.

PlaceYourItemInTheBaggingArea · 07/08/2019 19:45

Oh yes, make him write an apology for us to see.

howdyalikemenow · 07/08/2019 19:45

It's probably already been suggested but can you put a review on their fb page/checkatrade/trustatrader etc?

CatkinToadflax · 07/08/2019 19:46

Classics for the greatest parking thread ever beset by the finest diagram selection! Grin

I love a bit of live Karma.

How often does it happen on a same day basis. OP you are a genius Grin

Atalune · 07/08/2019 19:47

I love this thread so much.

Gold. Pure radiant gold!

Arrogant man. I want to take your stamper pens and stamp TWAT all over his forehead.

diddl · 07/08/2019 19:48

Will anyone be asking him why didn't move when asked?

I'd love to know.

Remoteisland · 07/08/2019 19:49

OP, I think I love you.

mcdog · 07/08/2019 19:49

This...is...epic!

lovesapinot · 07/08/2019 19:49

I can't believe how many people are enjoying this. Ha ha - I am just in it for the diagrams honestly!

I REALLY want to put pics up of van but I'm a chicken!

We are in the midlands.

Has he apologised

WiltedDaffs · 07/08/2019 19:50

I can just imagine him whining “she locked me in” like a child whinging “she started it” at a grown up telling them off.

ChihuahuaMummy1 · 07/08/2019 19:50

Love the Neighbour watching with a glass of wine in hand Grin

WiddlinDiddlin · 07/08/2019 19:50

Just draw us a piccy of the van then :D

IvanaPee · 07/08/2019 19:51

Is he still there?!

lovesapinot · 07/08/2019 19:52

Bet he’ll think twice next time!

hereforasillygoosetime · 07/08/2019 19:54

Loving this!!! Karma is divine.

huggybear · 07/08/2019 19:54

You're all amazing

DobbyTheHouseElk · 07/08/2019 19:55

wow, he’s in a venerable position really isn’t he. You’d think this would be the time to apologise to you and ask nicely for the gates to open. I imagine while you’ve been out he’s had plenty of onlookers watching.

tobedtoMNandfart · 07/08/2019 19:55

So, in a nutshell, he stayed on your drive for SEVEN HOURS after you asked him to move?!

DobbyTheHouseElk · 07/08/2019 19:56

Bet he wishes he moved his van earlier.

ConstantGravy · 07/08/2019 19:56

Argh! I've reached the end of the thread!

P.s. I'm proud to announce my triumphant return to MN!
