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!

Well I guess he finished the job last night as he had nothing else to do when he was trapped. Arsehole. And the negative reviews for their company won’t help now

AmmarettoSours · 08/08/2019 18:46

PoppingOneOutIn2020 · 08/08/2019 19:00

That's nothing OP!

My own facking DP has parked like such a dickbrownie on our driveway that I couldnt park there when i got home.

I'll include a diagram of my driveway... DP has the red car.. the green car is where mine is meant to be parked.. the blue arrows are approximately 2cm of space between our posted pathway and DPs car.

This was brilliant . fair play op 🤣

SchadenfreudePersonified · 08/08/2019 19:10

Thank you for the bonus diagram Popping

It has gone some salt way to assuaging my disappointment over the CFPlasterer's non-arrival.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 08/08/2019 19:11

*small, not salt

FFS!

@PoppingOneOutIn2020
Do you mean yellow car?
I’m confused

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 08/08/2019 19:18

Epic thread - thank you, @lovesapinot!

”It's a very easy explanation however I will explain through the medium of a diagram using various stamps.”

Had you considered interpretive dance as another option? WinkGrin

PoppingOneOutIn2020 · 08/08/2019 19:24

@Bookworm4 yes, it is infact yellow.. I swear I saw green when creating my masterpiece!

DeadCucumber · 08/08/2019 19:38

This is just what I needed after working all day!!!! Hahaaaaaa

smilingontheinside · 08/08/2019 19:48

Sat and read the whole thread after long day at work. Am now starving and the cat is quite put out that his food has not been put down (giving me evil looks) but I have explained the thread to him and he is now purring in agreement(might be the ear tickles between food prep though Hmm) that it is an epic thread. I hate fecking cockwomble men like him Angry

@PoppingOneOutIn2020

Fabulous thread, I've nominated it for classics as well @MNHQ

lovesapinot · 08/08/2019 20:55

@PoppingOneOutIn2020 oh an excellent diagram! Maybe your DH is the tradesman from yesterday?! Hmm

I'm sorry to hear that cats/husbands/dogs/small children have gone hungry whilst you've been reading my ramblings! Who'd have thought my normal boring Wednesday would have had such an impact I'm genuinely shocked lol!

Now there WAS a slight development tonight.....
