First world problems I know, but irritating to death all the same...
Row of six town houses, next door is the only one with a garden rather than having it converted to a driveway. There used to be a grassy patch on the pavement in front of their house.
However, they then spent the whole winter parking on it and driving on it so much that it had been turned into a muddy patch that stretches in front of my driveway and their other next doors. Said mud gets driven onto my new driveway and trampled into my house. The pavement that was already knackered has quickly eroded under the mud to be quite messy and dangerous.
The grassy patch is now too damaged for them to park on...you've guessed where they park now...right at the end of my driveway. This completely blocks access.
The car doesn't belong to someone who seems to live here all the time, so sometimes they are just picking neighbour up. But it is always at the exact time that I am trying to leave in the morning for work. AIBU to expect that I can just leave my house when I am ready, rather than wait until she had loaded her feral (oh that's a whole other thread) children into the car?
Or sometimes when I come home they are parked there. They pay no attention to horns and just glare at me if I knock and ask them to move. So I have to park across the street and move my car later.
Currently, they parked there at 5pm and when I went out "to the bins" they said they would just be a minute. I'm expecting guests at 8pm, who I don't mind blocking my driveway and they will have no where else to park. They are still there...
Surely it's not unreasonable to want to chose who I allow to block my driveway?!
Rant over. I feel better now.
