I've name changed for this because it will be quite identifing if the neighbors are on here and see it.
This might be long, settle in with a nice cup of tea.
I own my house, and with that comes 2 on the deeds, private, allocated parking spaces. One at the front of the house, and one in rear carpark.
I have a diagram. Don't worry.
Let me explain it.
I am the red blobby squares. Along the back wall of the rear carpark are 4 spaces. To the left are 3. All owned and allocated.
The problem is the houses in the blue square only have 1 allocated parked space each. Both are rented - just a fact.
They are consistantly rented to two car households it appears. So of course they park in spaces which are not actually 'parking spaces'.
Fine, I get it. But it is now to the point that the way they park, they've taken away what was once, essentially a turning point in the car park and now you have to reservse the whole way out, blinded by cars on your left, and mount the curb onto the neighbors garden to get in or out.
Red squares are where there are often two more cars from the house on the left.
The van and red car you see are the other side.
Black square is the garden we end up having to bump on to.
It's dangerous for a start, we have kids and pets out on the street here.
When they first moved in, I polietly knocked and asked that they trim the bush and move the van in close to make it ok for everyone to get in and out. I even offered to lend them our hedge trimmer, we had a nice chat. Didn't do it for months. Ok fine, they had a new baby. No time.
But still this continues. She leaves her car as far out from the back wall as possible (yes probably a pram thing but..) He doesn't pull his van up so that it doesn't block thier side windows and they don't ever have to stop.
In the meantime, the rest of us suffer.
It might have got a bit heated yesterday.
So AIBU to get annoyed about this?
