I have found myself living across from a parking hitler (they think they own the road outside their house don't you know ). His parents have lived there for years, moved in not long from us, they don't chat to many people, we actually joked when they 1st moved in they were in witness protection as you hardly see them out. He has now moved back in with them, so now they own 5 cars and a work van between 3 of them. 2 on their drive, the others on the road outside.
The only time I see them out in the front is if 1 of them is going out, someone will move their car off the drive to save their space on the road. most of the neighbours have commented on it and it wasn't until 1 of them mentioned that I even noticed, this in itself I find strange but whatever passes the time for them.
So a few weeks ago I came home, someone was parked outside my house - not a problem plenty of other spaces, (I live opposite an office block, terraced street, weird neighbours live next to the office block) I parked by the office block, taking up 1 of their spaces, didn't think to much of it as its a free road.
The next day The son - I say son he's 34, had parked right up to my bumper, touching it, noticed it didn't think too much of it then went to work, came home and they had moved the car off the drive into that space, found somewhere else to park.
Its now been going on like this for weeks, If I cannot park outside my house this is the only other free space so if they're not using it im free to park there, yet every time I do he parks right up to my bumper, so when I get in it and put it into reverse I feel the car go down slightly as if its been pushed up by his car. Ive gone and tried to speak to them but they don't answer the door, I've put a note through the door asking him to not block my car so much, if someone parks behind me then im blocked in (as I was the other week)! Rather than come and ask me not to park there he uses this aggressive technique of bullying me into moving. So how do you deal with parking hitler's who think they own the whole road. Would you just not park there or stand your ground that its a free road to park wherever I like! I'm siding with parking wherever I want but dp says don't cause trouble, I'm not actually doing anything wrong though?
