Now, I'd like to make it crystal clear before I begin that I know I don't own the road outside my house and anyone can park there. But have an ongoing situation that's really getting on my tits.
I live in a road where everyone struggles with car parking. Each house has a drive and enough space on the road for one car, but most houses in the street have two or more cars, plus we get lots of people parking here for access to the nearby shops. So it's already a bit tense. Plus the road is really narrow, so manoeuvring is difficult.
I have just one car .
A family in my road has three cars, including one mahooooosive 8-seater that they use just once a week for family outings. Every Saturday night they park it outside someone else's house (yes, this week I've drawn the short straw) and leave it there FOR AN ENTIRE WEEK.
It's so bloody big that it makes getting in and out of my drive really difficult, so I end up parking outside someone else's house so that I don't get trapped in the drive.
I'm seriously tempted to park in my drive and bang into their rear end just to teach them a lesson (my car's beyond hope anyway).
Am I being reasonable or should I grow up and worry about something more important? And if I'm not BU, anyone have any ideas how I can politely indicate to this family that they might want to park their frigging Velociraptor in the FREE CAR PARK that's a three-minute walk away?
Grrrrrrr.
