This is my garage. This is not my car.
Last time this happened the driver was in the car, I indicated with my keys that I wanted to get into the garage and could they move. Lots of huffing and puffing they did so, allowing me to open up the garage and extract my bike, which really annoyed the woman in the car as I could have removed the bike with the car where it had been.
My dad did a more extreme version of this,
Mum and dad live around the corner from a primary school, the school I went to as a kid actually however they have problems with parents blocking the end of their drive when picking little johnny up. The year is 2008 my grandfather is on his last legs and the call is expected anytime soon, my father who has been doing most of the caring for my grandmother and his father is emotionally and physically shattered, he is still working nights throughout all of this.
The call comes from the hospital, Mr Lodwig it's time you need to come to the hospital now as quickly as you can.
Mum is out at work so only the landrover sits on the drive, dad steps out of the house to leave and notices the car parked across the drive way blocking his exit.
tapping on the window the old man ask's if she could move her car as he has to get to his dying father.
"I'll only be a minute she says" Dad looks at his watch and notes their is 15 minutes till school finishes and says again "you need to move your car now I have to get to hospital my dad is dying and I need to be their".
"F**k off" she says and rolls up the window.
Dad climbs into the 2 ton Land Rover discovery, starts the engine, engages low box, and pushes the car across the road and into the neighbours hedge. he then writes his details on a receipt sticks them under the wiper on the now embedded in a hedge car and drives to the hospital.
The insurance was a nightmare, however the police very sympathetic. Along the lines of I would have done the same.
