My next door neighbours drive is directly adjacent to ours. NDN's DS has his GF over and she sometimes parks a bit across our drive. This doesn't bother me as when I ask her to move it it gets moved.

Today I needed to go out (12noonish) so asked them to move the car. GF says it has broke down that it died last night. I said have you called the AA. Not yet I was told we have just got upHmm.

I said I needed out so can she get the car pushed to unblock the drive. She started faffing about umming and ahhing. I said to NDN DS that he could push it and joking told him to get his shoes on.

10 minutes later the car hadn't been moved so I popped into my other neighbour and asked if he and his DS could help push a car. They agreed. I then knocked on NDN door and the GF answered. I asked had they called the AA and told her the car needed moved. She hadn't called the AA as her was having breakfast and the BF was showering.

I say well it needs moved, jump in the driver's seat and we'll move it. I must admit I was a bit annoyed by this stage. Two minutes later the car was pushed to block NDN drive.

I then went out. When I came back there was a note from NDN's DS saying I can upset GF and needed to apologise.Hmm

So was wibu to make her move the car and should I be apologising or would ibu to wait until NDN is back and have a word. Needless to say anytime the GF blocks the drive in the future I will be straight out even if we don't need out.

NDN's DS is 26 and GF is 25 with 3 kids.

Parking one wiu?

What was you supposed to do?

She was a bit daft to just shrug her shoulders in a "oh well. It will be sorted when it gets sorted" attitude

Are you in good terms with NDN?

They are being completely unreasonable. Yes I'd have a word with NDN. Say you were most upset by the note given how reasonable you have been about never complaining about them blocking the drive in the past. Say given that the car has now broken down once and how difficult it was to get the car moved you do not want the car parked across your drive anymore. Say you really don't want to fall out about it but you are very disappointed that you are being painted as being in the wrong when you were in no way unreasonable and were being inconvenienced when you needed to leave.

I'd return a note stating that you do not give permission for her to be blocking your perfectly legal driveway. She should not be parking there, and in future if it continues happening then you will start getting it towed away. I'm sure she will start parking across their drive in future. Cheek of them asking for you to apologise!

25 and they were getting up a noon??? Wow I wish I could sleep like that. They are completely in the wrong! Its illegal to block someone's car on a drive so you could have gone further! In future she should park blocking the drive of the people she's visiting like most people! I would wait for your neighbors to be home and speak to them not their man child. hopefully that way you will get some sense!!

Post a note saying "sure, after she apologises for blocking my drive".

Somehow I don't think an apology will be forthcoming.

Cheeky bint and him. Tell him in no uncertain terms that she is the one who should be apologising for inconveniencing you, and up till now you haven't moaned about her being across your drive but you no longer give permission and if it is across your legal drive again then you will report it!

Dear NDN DS girlfriend.,

Following your boyfriend's note, I understand I upset you earlier with my attitude and owe you an apology. Please accept my sincere apologies for daring to have a life which does not fit in nicely around your lying in until midday and leisurely routine. I also apologise for being so understanding about your blocking my drive in the past. In future, having seen that you are incapable of appreciating that with this privilege comes responsibility to move your car off my property when I need to get out, I will no longer be allowi ping my drive to be blocked in by your car. Please make alternative arrangements.

Regards, MrBluethecatt

I popped out again and have returned to another note. Apparently the GF is leaving at 5pm so I should pop over before that to apologise.

Dear god! She's a mother and is acting like a spoilt child. Her poor children.

Ignore them. The pair of them sound deluded!

Like fuck should you apologise.

I'm a bit of a hot head and I'd probably go over there and say in the past you've had no problem with her blocking your drive as the car was always moved when you needed access, however today you had to go out at midday and not one person from ND bothered to move the car. This massively unconvinced you and from now on you are not willing to agree to her parking across the drive. She can park across there's. There will be no apology as she had no regard for you.

If you don't want to say that put in o. The back of their note and post it back or put it under their window wiper.

Ignorant fuckers.
