This car turned up in the layby outside our house absolutely months ago. It hasn't moved an inch and my neighbours began asking about it. I happened to see a girl outside near it as I left one day so asked her if it was hers. She said yes and she was selling it. As far as I can see nobody has been anywhere near it and it still sits there. I see this girl regularly as her kids walk to the same school as my kids. They live down on the main road. I don't know why she can't park it outside her house with her other car. There's no restrictions or yellow lines or anything.
Anyway, the council came round asking about it. Someone's reported it as being dumped. I saw her again on the school run this morning and politely asked her if she was going to move it as people were starting to ask. She started to say that she would be using it instead of her own car, then she said someone was coming to look at it (again) and then she finished off by telling me that it wasn't my road and it's just a car and that she can leave it outside my house if she wants to, it's not my driveway.
Now am I being unreasonable or is she? My road is not some public scrapyard. We get enough people using our layby to turn their cars round in without dumping them there as well. When they can't turn round because there are cars parked there they turn round in my driveway. I know it's not the end of the world but its been going on for months and its just bloody annoying now!
