Get on fine with house next door. Kids play etc.
About a year ago, her sister started coming to visit every single day. Weekends too. Fine. None of my business.
So we both have double drives and both have two cars. DH also has a motorbike but there’s space to keep it on our drive.
I work from home so I’m out to drop the dc to school then pretty much back for the whole morning. DH is gone in his car from maybe 7am. Motorbike stays on drive until weekends really.
So next door’s sister has a big 7-seater. But she’s taken to partially blocking our drive with it so next door’s car can get in and out.
So she parks up in the morning, partially blocks my drive. And then sometimes they’ll head out in next door’s car and my drive will be blocked.
I can (with ball-achey manoeuvring) get my car on. But if anyone was to visit, or DH was to come home, they couldn’t park on the drive. And they can’t park in front of my house without then blocking other next door’s.
It gives me the fucking rage! It’s so inconsiderate! I’ve said it to next door’s and her answer has been to knock in if I ever need her to move.
DH is so laid back he’s horizontal so he doesn’t see it as a big deal. But it’s just so selfish and irritating.
I’ve come back and parked up right behind her, as in touching the bumper, so I haven’t blocked other next door’s.
WIBU to roll the motorbike out and block her car?? If I put it sideways it won’t block the drive I don’t think.
I hope I’m explaining properly. I need to try to figure out how to post a diagram!
