Being a PH I would never thought anyone would do such a thing, but today I came home to find a red BMW parked up blocking me from my own house.

I feel bad doing a 3 point turn and using part of someones drive.

Has anyone else suffered from this sort of thing?

Not in my drive way.

But I have had people park across my driveway, telling me they'll 'only be a sec' then they get annoyed when I hassle them!!

Can lead to fisti-cuffs.

I used to live next to a school, the driveway easily had parking for 10 cars.

Coming back to find a parked car on the drive was a regular occurrence. I made certain that they never considered doing it a second time !

No, more like they parked it on my drive



I should have crashed the Yaris into both cars and doing a small mercy for both.

How can anyone think it is ok to park like that on someone elses property without asking?

Oh right. They're actually on your drive!

I'm not sure what i'd do, but i would go apoplectic. I'm a reasonable kind of guy, but not when it comes to my property. I would certianly block them in.

Absolutely staggering.

Parking across someone's drive is inappropriate, parking on their drive is just incredible.

What? The Yaris is yours and the other 2 are strangers? WTF!! I would go fricking berserk. I know, I know, first world problems and all that but it's just the blatant bare faced cheek of it. Some people think they can park where they like these days. Selfish pricks who make a general lack of parking spaces someone else's problem.

Where do folk stand with getting a tow truck to remove them, legally, and for free / cheap as possible?

Get a friend to park behind the BMW and then go out for the evening - by taxi.

I'd just park the yaris across the back of him with about 0.03mm to spare so that when he has to knock to get you to move it you can have an educational discussion on the ethical merits of his choices.

Finally we have a valid reason after all these years for owning a Yaris !

I knew PH folk would not let me down. Sadly, the bird has flown.

I hope since Brexit those are Cumberland sausages and not some sort of Bratwurst.
