Mobile You couldn’t make it up!

My other half put a deposit down on a new car on Friday night. We went to collect it this morning, and the bumper had been scratched.

No worries there, booked in for repair free of charge this week. Take the dogs out in the new car this afternoon, come back to find someone parked on our drive.

We blared the horn a few times, no one came out, so we ended up parking at the bottom of our drive, forcing them to knock on our door if they needed to be out. My car is parked in our garage, which I can’t even open because they’ve parked so far up our drive.

We’ve been home for approximately 45 minutes, and a neighbour opposite has just reversed into the new car (which wouldn’t have happened had we been able to park on our drive!)

My OH is absolutely gutted. Doesn’t look to be much damage and neighbour has offered to pay if there is but he’s now away door to door to see who’s parked on our drive!

Happy New Year, eh?

Oh no, what a rubbish end to the year. Why on earth has someone parked on your private driveway, I don't get that at all. They have caused this whole debacle.

Crikey ! Not a good day!

And what a cheek of someone parking on your drive!

I'd turn the lights off and ignore the door when it goes for you to move your car and let them suffer! You could be away for two weeks for all they know !

OP. My God, you couldn't make this up as you say. I'm not surprised you are bouncing. I hope the damage isn't too bad. Please tell me it's not a brand new car?

I must say I would be blocking the offending car in for at least 24 hours. How dare they use your drive.

And they have 4 inflated tyres, you do show restraint.

It’s a 17 plate, so pretty much brand new! We’ve managed to track down the girl who parked on our drive - apparently she thought it was for the house next door which is currently standing empty as it’s up for sale. Looks like I’m ordering a sign tonight!

Hopefully the bad luck doesn’t follow us into the New Year 😐
