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!

I can’t believe after yesterday your Ndn thought that was ok!! Fuck me you live in a town of weirdos!!

Can @MNHQ not create a whole section just for parking threads and cheeky fuckery? That would be awesome

Hollyhobbi · 08/08/2019 22:12

Was the ndn friend drinking champagne (or wine) in said hot tub and then driving?

TheHodgeoftheHedge · 08/08/2019 22:17

Wow. You are a CF magnet!

CurtainsAndCords · 08/08/2019 22:49

Janet's clearly thinking ahead for the Xmas round robin.

frocksnogandbusters · 08/08/2019 22:51

Fabulous thread!!! I never post anything on here but this has been amazing!!! Top diagrams, top attitude!!! And then cheeky bloody ‘Janet’! What was the neighbour even thinking!?! Didn’t think you’d mind!?! The fools clearly don’t know who they’re dealing with!!! Star you must be exhausted after all these shenanigans Flowers

WorriedMamabear2000 · 08/08/2019 22:56

Ahh yeah, they really do look like crabs, more than cats. misses point of thread

QualCheckBot · 08/08/2019 22:56

Is your neighbour's drive particularly inconvenient or something?

hotsouple · 09/08/2019 00:16

OP did the Builder look like Super Hans or Jez? I agree with @AnastasiaVonBeaverhausen, sounds like Men with Ven

CharityDingle · 09/08/2019 00:47

Just spat wine all over my keyboard at your latest update. Not really, I never waste wine Wink

justilou1 · 09/08/2019 02:42

What the actual fuck is wrong with your neighbours? Why do they think that it’s okay to suggest this? This is so absurd!!!

BrienneofTarthILoveYou · 09/08/2019 04:15

What on earth? Why would your neighbour get her friend to park on your drive - makes no sense at all. Makes me very grateful that we have such lovely neighbors who ask before using our drive and offer up their drive to park on if we're having work done or friends round to visit!

StealthPolarBear · 09/08/2019 06:59

Surely this suggests the problem is your neighbours.

BruceAndNosh · 09/08/2019 07:13

OP, maybe you need to change the name of your house.
The name plaque might be confusing people

Aaah!

Parking threads!

The Gift That Keeps On Giving!

Can't believe your neighbour witnessed the Van Carry On and then thought it was okay to let HER visitor park on YOUR drive.

I men - just WHY? Hmm

SchadenfreudePersonified · 09/08/2019 07:23

*I mean, not I men

Freudian slip there

UrsulaPandress · 09/08/2019 07:26

Spoilt it now.

lovesapinot · 09/08/2019 07:49

She obviously told her to just pull up outside hers wherever - and yeah that's fine there Janet kind of thing. But not exactly hard to see it's someone's drive!

Gates firmly locked today!

Spoilt now. Should have quit while ahead with this one.

MotherTime3 · 09/08/2019 08:36

Op, I’m popping over to see one of your neighbours. Blue mini. Don’t lock me in please, I’ll only be 15min

That would be awesome. Because *every single imaginary cf or parking thread would be there! Empty boards everywhere else!

Better yet, call this section CLASSICS 🤣

Honeyroar · 09/08/2019 08:59

I think you clearly need to treat yourself to a “Private Drive. No Parking” sign!
