It’s a parking one!

[OhCaptain]

Get on fine with house next door. Kids play etc.

About a year ago, her sister started coming to visit every single day. Weekends too. Fine. None of my business.

So we both have double drives and both have two cars. DH also has a motorbike but there’s space to keep it on our drive.

I work from home so I’m out to drop the dc to school then pretty much back for the whole morning. DH is gone in his car from maybe 7am. Motorbike stays on drive until weekends really.

So next door’s sister has a big 7-seater. But she’s taken to partially blocking our drive with it so next door’s car can get in and out.

So she parks up in the morning, partially blocks my drive. And then sometimes they’ll head out in next door’s car and my drive will be blocked.

I can (with ball-achey manoeuvring) get my car on. But if anyone was to visit, or DH was to come home, they couldn’t park on the drive. And they can’t park in front of my house without then blocking other next door’s.

It gives me the fucking rage! It’s so inconsiderate! I’ve said it to next door’s and her answer has been to knock in if I ever need her to move.

DH is so laid back he’s horizontal so he doesn’t see it as a big deal. But it’s just so selfish and irritating.

I’ve come back and parked up right behind her, as in touching the bumper, so I haven’t blocked other next door’s.

WIBU to roll the motorbike out and block her car?? If I put it sideways it won’t block the drive I don’t think.

I hope I’m explaining properly. I need to try to figure out how to post a diagram!

She should be blocking her sister's drive and moving it when her sister needs to go in or out. Every single time.

Fucking cow.

Cardboard car under a car blanket thing should do it... like Joey from friends

Love this! Can't wait for the next instalment. The chalk body outline and police tape are just the best. Definitely block the bit that Bull normally considers hers for parking

This is becoming very like the hilarious Christmas nativity parking thread, even the way of writing is similar.

I’m both impressed and a bit sad that there’s such an established MN house-style now when writing CF posts.

Problem solving penis.
What a wanker he is.

Definitely going to speak to dh when he gets home. As my mn name suggests, we are newly married and I didn't realise that our church 'marriage preperation lessons' before the wedding hadnt in fact prepared us for real life and such likely events. I must make sure that dh's problem solving penis is on my side if this is ever to happen to us!!

I'm invested in your thread and prepared to help with crowdfunding 😁

can you just put boxes out, but put something really heavy in then so when they are wet and she tries to move them she gets wet card stuck under her fingernails?

The camper van tent is utterly inspired!

Sadly I can’t get my hands on one by tomorrow morning.

Penis Problem Solver won’t be home until around 6/6.30 I reckon.

I want to call in and ask to speak to him man to man...

I am so over invested in this whole situation! I cannot wait to see what happens tomorrow!!!

I wish my DH had a problem solving penis. Is it anything like a magic wand?

I have gravel by the side of my drive. I could fill some boxes with that.

What I really need is a life sized Gandalf with a speech bubble saying “You Shall Not Park.”

Again, there’s no time.

And I’d dress up and do it myself only I’ll be on the school run.

Amazon Prime?

Is it anything like a magic wand?

You know those joke shop ones that go floppy? It’s like that.

Amazon Prime?

Not to the arsehole of Connaught by tomorrow morning.

Parking here to discover what pearls of wisdom the problem solving penis will come up with later tonight.

.... ok that sounds really wrong!

I am showing my age here but is your neighbour man Dinny from Glenroe? Also I am seeing the Bull as The Bull McCabe but dressed in a Savida suit because she's fancy and empowered.

Can you build a new fort tonight that stops Bull from being able to park over your dropped kerb / drive? Your children could paint / booby trap it

This thread is gold. Even better when I imagine you're saying it in an Irish accent, best accent in my opinion

It's a shame you cant get this delivered to throw on the road in front of her car www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0046UH3VO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_MQtxEb69GTGX7?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

Have you got some old clothes you could stuff and fashion into a bonfire guy and lie in the road in front of your drive?

Dinny from Glenroe!

I do think it has to be some sort of homemade fort-like structure as a nod to this thread.

DD has a giant Olaf. Could we put him in the fort? 🤔

@TwoHeadedYellowBelliedHoleDig I would LOVE to get that!

I might just order it for the craic anyway.

Omg best thread ever! I've never been so invested in a thread before! Got my children from school, played their food and then I sat to read all the updates whilst laughing in stitches! Well done op!!! Super proud of you!!!

Your ndn is an arse for allowing her sister to inconvenience you!! I would never allow relatives/guest coming to my house, block my neighbours in any way that my neighbour needs to knock on, no way!! That not a nice neighbour at all

It's the parking thread with ALL THE THINGS!

Do you have a strap on handy (one never knows) , then you'd have a penis to make him more comfortable when you're talking to him...

I don’t have a strap on but I’m sure I could fashion something that could just proudly protrude from my nether regions while we straightened this whole thing out...
