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!

pinky you are a star!!

Sexnotgender · 07/08/2019 12:58

Dickheads. Hope the number on the van doesn’t just take you to the idiot driving it. Does it look like a one man band or is it a company?

BustedDreams · 07/08/2019 12:58

Love your diagrams !!! Yes they are cfs!!!

Comefromaway · 07/08/2019 12:58

I can see them now.

notapizzaeater · 07/08/2019 12:59

Cant believe they ignored you, the correct response when they want you to move / unlock is 'I'm having a tea break will only be 15 mins'

lovesapinot · 07/08/2019 12:59

I've locked gates. Car is in front of gates now and toddler napping so I'm going to join him
I think!

Can’t believe he’s just left his can there! Unreal! I’d be fuming!

LovePoppy · 07/08/2019 13:00

Fracking men! Cheeky fuckers

Lisette1940 · 07/08/2019 13:00

Fabulous diagrams! 🐾🐾🐾🚀🚀🚀

WinterRose92 · 07/08/2019 13:01

lovesapinot did he move the van or is it still there?

ohfourfoxache · 07/08/2019 13:01

Excellent! A nice long nap sounds like bliss

ItWentInMyEye · 07/08/2019 13:01

11/10 for diagrams! Bravo OP! Can't believe what entitled dickheads they are Angry

lovesapinot · 07/08/2019 13:02

Glad you can see diagrams.

Pens were from Primark of all places.

I may seem very laid back about this however I'm seething but luckily not got any pressing arrangements today.

I’m completely mystified why they haven’t realised Ndn has their own bloody drive! How are all 3 workers this daft?
Possibly the best diagrams on a parking thread.⭐️

M3lon · 07/08/2019 13:05

Where are the actual roads though? Presumably through your gates and running the other side of neighbours house?

Will they just drive up the dogwalk path to get out?

NoSquirrels · 07/08/2019 13:07

What arseholes. Why the he’ll wouldn’t they move when asked? It’s just such a dick move.

Satterthwaite · 07/08/2019 13:08

So have they driven right up to the end of your drive from your gates? Or did they come in from the road side by the dog walking path? Is your car actually blocking them in? Ie parked as normal on your own drive?

Cheeserton · 07/08/2019 13:09

Leave your car legally parked in front of your gates at least overnight. Piss takers like this only learn one way. There is sod all he can do about it and you gave him enough of a chance to move.

boomshakalak · 07/08/2019 13:10

I don't get why everyone is SO ANGRY??!!

UrsulaPandress · 07/08/2019 13:11

New standard set for parking diagrams

diddl · 07/08/2019 13:11

"Phone police and tell them the situation, and you are scared"

Well I think that in theory this is a good idea.

Why should Op put up with being bullied?

If something could be done about it, then these men might not be so quick to pick on women who are obviously alone.

Damntheman · 07/08/2019 13:12

Everyone is angry because OP asked them to move their van, and they have ignored her. Would that not irritate you boom? It sure would be!

OP make sure you disconnect your doorbell before going for a nap.

StupidlittlepricknamedRick · 07/08/2019 13:12

I don't get why everyone is SO ANGRY??!!
Because a man has parked on someone else's driveway and is refusing to move, most likely because OP is female and he doesn't really give a fuck that he is on her property. I would bet good money that he would've moved sharpish if a man had told him to. Women have had enough of the "yeah alright love in a minute" response to being told to fuck off of our property.

jasmine1971 · 07/08/2019 13:13

Oooh OP do they have to drive over neighbours lawn to get to neighbours drive?

Whoops75 · 07/08/2019 13:13

They are CF
You draw excellent diagrams

This scenario wouldn’t bother me.
Enjoy your nap
