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!

Report it Summer - reported troll hunting posts get zapped.

MyOtherProfile · 10/08/2019 07:35

What summer said. I've loved this thread.

@lovesapinot to be clear I haven’t said you’re trolling!

I’m just saying it does look very weird and maybe that’s why!

lovesapinot · 10/08/2019 09:28

@IvanaPee no probs.

To be honest I thought a troll was someone that posted on a thread that they hadn't started ha ha goes to show what I know BlushGrin

@lovesapinot 😂 as far as I understand (which probably isn’t very far...) it can also be someone who starts a piss take thread!

SunshineCake · 10/08/2019 10:29

Or posts on their own thread pretending to be someone else. If it was someone who answered someone else, everyone would be trolls!

greengrower · 10/08/2019 11:37

@sunshinecake, I thought that was a sock puppet?

SunshineCake · 10/08/2019 20:50

That's someone who starts a thread and then answers the OP as someonea else. Slightly different.

AnAC12UCOinanOCG · 11/08/2019 12:57

A sockpuppet is any poster who has multiple accounts used to agree with each other. It doesn't matter who started the thread.

MNHQ seem to think a troll means "someone who has been previously banned." It isn't. It's someone who posts just for attention or to get a reaction and includes the liars, the fantasists, the fetishists, the beggars, the ones desperate to get into Classics...

I bought stamp pens at Primark yesterday. My life is complete. Thank you oP.

Is it just me? Do you have a thing against cats? Despite it being an A* worthy diagram, OP, you've put all the cats UPSIDE DOWN 🙀😾😾😾. They have whiskers at the bottom of their little cute faces...

You need to keep your gate locked whenever you leave as i bet CF's are using it - your neighbors know your routine.
You ARE a walkover and that's why they do it - you should have been very frank with your neighbour and Janet.

lovesapinot · 21/08/2019 09:02

OH MY GOODNESS!
I made it to classics?!

I can die happy now.

I may do a celebratory diagram!

I have left this thread on my watching list, as I am curious to see if anything is said to your neighbours by the contractors, and if they have said anything to you on their return from holiday. They should be apologising to you if they knew, but from what you have said, I am betting they don't.

lovesapinot · 21/08/2019 11:59

@78percentLindt

Well they are back and haven't said anything other than a 'Hello' over the back the fence - which is all they pretty much did before.

So if the builder has said anything then they haven't mentioned it. But the neighbours have an air of arrogance/think they're better than us to them, so I highly doubt if the builder had said anything that they would mention it.

Bloody idiots!

Gate locked at all times now!

Just discovered this thread! It's given me a good laugh while I can't sleep Grin I feel like there should be more diagrams though!!
