Some sod with a huge Merc parked their cark with about 3 feet of the back end over hanging our driveway, had a really tough time getting my car out of the drive with about 2 inches clearence away from his bumper ... that was on my way out ... on the way my local nightclub and just got back and it's still there and couldn't be bothered to try and get the car back in without damaging his or my car so backed up my dad's car up to his bumper with about 6 inches to spare and then parked infront of my dad's car.
He's about 6 inches away from the car infront of him so he'll never get out unless one of the cars ahead or behind him moves first.
It really annoys me when people park their cars overhanging the drive when they can see we just about manage to squeeze two cars in there .. I guess they assume our cars can hover in mid air and turn around and then come down into our space in the drive .. guess they never heard of leaving a few feet extra on either side to make a turning circle to get in in the first place.

After about 3 mins on constant horn blasting there was no response. So me and mates proceeded to bounce the car thus setting off the alarm. Instant result.
Some pompus arse arrives.
Arse : "What are you doing?"
Me : "I'm trying to attract the attention of the twat who owns this car so I can get him to let me out"
Arse : "Well there's no need to be all arsy about it. I couldn't find anywhere to park"
Me : "So that gives you the right to block other people in. Or is it the fact that your a merc driver makes you better than everyone else"
Arse : "So where would you suggest that I park then"
Me : "Not my problem. As long as you ain't blocking me in"
Arse : "Right well let me just finish..."
Me: "You have approx 5 secs to move your motor before you get a pile of shite Ford Escort for a new bonnet"
Car moves and he blocks another car in :rolleyes: Meanwhile my Mum is shouting out the kitchen window something about not letting the twat away with it. So after he had parked his car I went into my Mum's and equipped with a plastic bag proceeded to pick up a fresh deposit of dog shite and smeared in on the underside of his door handles. Sorted.
:yuck: Hmm i was eating my breakfast.
Unfortunately my dad was going out this morning so he had to move the cars to get out - otherwise I'd have happily left the cars there to block him in.
So, as always he'd fetch the Bedford Rascal and park it longways right across the back of it with somethin crazy like 1 inch to move. They always ended up apologising
And it isnt just Merc drivers DG, BMW drivers are just as bad. As are those tossers who think they need a luxury Jeep to negiotiate Sainsbury's car park.
Our neighbours opposite have a Jeep and the husband is a builder and has a pickup truck and when they first moved in they used to park over hanging our driveway too.
So would I have.
Probably would have been a mixture of :yuck: and :eek2:
