It’s a parking one!

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!

Brilliant! My hero! You can come and sort my driveway problem pleaseGrin

Saddler · 03/03/2020 09:27

How's her parking?

OhCaptain · 03/03/2020 09:27

She’s gone? Up the road but it’s a cul de sac.

If she runs over Olaf I am definitely hitting her with my penis.

So Garda Olaf is entirely on your drive, right? Blocking her illegal access to your property?

Well obviously she's got you bang to rights OP, no court in the land could fail to realise you're in the wrong Confused Grin

SweetMarmalade · 03/03/2020 09:28

Damn! I’ve got to go into work now!

OhCaptain · 03/03/2020 09:29

Oh she’s back. She’s pulled up outside neighbour’s but engine is on...

She’s going inside. Engine still on.

I shouldn’t steal her car, right? Take Garda Olaf on a little Thelma & Louise type jaunt through Sligo?

OP posts:
SweetMarmalade · 03/03/2020 09:29

But before I do, can you please draw a diagram showing where Olaf is!

OhCaptain · 03/03/2020 09:30

I have Garda Olaf and the bin fort blocking where she could have parked and I’m on DH’s side.

The precious bike has been put back to sleep in his designated area and was not harmed in the making of this admittedly ridiculous situation.

Loving this.

BouleBaker · 03/03/2020 09:33

Do not place your penis in her drivers seat.

OhCaptain · 03/03/2020 09:33

This is the current situation. Bull still inside NN. Engine still on. No banging, crashing or mooing.

It’s a parking one!

BouleBaker · 03/03/2020 09:33

Could you get Garda Olaf to lean in the window?

MaggieFS · 03/03/2020 09:34

No, but you could stick the penis to the back of her car with an 'I'm a cock' sign when she's not looking.

OhCaptain · 03/03/2020 09:35

If I move him now they’ll definitely see me.

I wouldn’t want the neighbours thinking I’m crazy... 😬😬😬

OP posts:
OhCaptain · 03/03/2020 09:37

Oh they’re both out looking at him...

NN looks bemused. Bull looks, well, bullish.

Engine off. Door closed. Back inside. She’s blocking neighbour’s drive...

Success!!!!

AriadnesFilament · 03/03/2020 09:37

Can you put Olaf in the drivers seat????

MaggieFS · 03/03/2020 09:38

FFS, why doesn't she just block her own sister's drive!

ilovedjerrymore · 03/03/2020 09:38

Bull was so going to continue to park there this morning! Some people are so stubborn!

HappyHoppyHippo · 03/03/2020 09:39

I can just imagine your Thelma and Louise trip with olaf on the news 😂

elessar · 03/03/2020 09:39

Hahahaha this has really brightened my morning. I would call this a definite win!

How long will you keep up with Olaf and the bin fort?

AriadnesFilament · 03/03/2020 09:39

VICTORY!!!!!

TypicalMeBreakMyTypicalRules · 03/03/2020 09:40

A victory for sure. You are the Captain! I salute you
