Live CF parking thread (with diagram!)

[lovesapinot]

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 so 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

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

Grrrrrrr!

How can the OP be done for unlawful imprisonment when she asked the CF to “ger off my land” several times in the day? He could have walked off the drive through he bollards as presumably he had been doing all day.

This thread was textbook stuff. It had it all. There was an introduction, rising tension, and an eventual conclusion. There was humour, troll hunting, the obligatory 'I wouldn't care if someone parked on my drive, I can't believe how angry people get' and of course bold statements suggesting that the OP has committed a criminal act by parking on her own drive and closing the gate.

If I owned Mumsnet I think I'd just want to close the site down at this point because surely this is thread perfection?

@DobbyTheHouseElk yes the dog path is only easy to get into via bollards - so no idea why he didn't walk away?!

Neighbour says he was working away till about half hour of us coming home.

Mind boggles but clearly an arrogant pig! God I hope he's back tomorrow!

@isabellerossignol and diagrams!
Nice one OP. You are an inspiration to us all!

I once stopped at a red light to see the intriguing sight of a man out pouring what appeared to be a full carton of milk over the windscreen and air vents of an abandoned looking car. I know understand this to be an understandable response to a CF. Thank you MN!

Also OP is your FIL single?

"What if his job isn’t finished and he needs to come back again tomorrow?!"

Hopefully Op will have the gates locked so he can't get onto the drive!

This. This and parking sign tinsel. And hedge sex. This is why I love MN.

Have a gigantic OP, you deserve it.

Well we know where he WON'T be parking tomorrow .

You will have to update us all if he comes back and definitely let him know how 'famous ' he has become, for all the wrong reasons obviously.

I just had one of my most unproductive days in work today sssshhhh say nothing

Wonder how he is going to explain his late return home to whoever has the misfortune to share a house with this twat!

@isabellerossignol ALMOST thread perfection - there's been no LTB

This. Is. Spectacular.
We need an update tomorrow!

@isabellerossignol ALMOST thread perfection - there's been no LTB

Ah, you're right. Forgot about that.

I'll sort that out now though.

OP, get your ducks in a row and LTB.

@legalseagull I may say LTB if my DH tells me to get off MN once more!

I've locked gates and am off tomorrow so will be watching out window. Will defo post pics!

@isabellerossignol

Yay!!!!

Ok will make sure I have all my paperwork sorted first (passports, bank statements, pension period) etc though!

Paperwork not period

Also I'll tell someone IRL too

Ahahaha BEST. PARKING. THREAD. EVER!

Deffo needs to go in the classics. What a stupid prick for not just moving this morning.

Top marks.

I suspect the company person ringing back was actually his partner!

Can you put your car outside your locked gates in the morning. So he can't park on your drive and block you in

@lovesapinot you absolute star! ⭐️

One word ... BRILLIANT . Well done OP 🍷💃. Oh and place marking in case anything happens tomorrow 🤣🤣😘

Another vote for classics! Thanks op for entertaining me on what would have been an otherwise boring night

It’s literally gate-gate 😅

Wow. I didn't expect this to be sooo good! Well done op. You were so brave!

@OneHanded
I love gate gate. I wonder what his gate fate will be tomorrow. If he has any sense, and let's face it that's debatable, but if his brain does show up tomorrow he will steer clear if he knows what's good for him.

Can't wait for tomorrow's update re the gate 😂😂😂
