Neighbour - would you bother?

Ever since I moved into my house, my next door but one neighbours have been really aggressive about not parking in front of their house.

To keep the peace, I always try not to park in front of their house but we live opposite a primary school and sometimes I do if it's the only space.

Yesterday, I was parked half over their house and half over their neighbours house. The woman turned up to my house and was knocking on the living room window as I was WFH and on a teams call. She was being really aggressive and intimidating.

I'm so sick of feeling really intimidated and their entitlement and want to slip a little note through their door. Is this pointless? Angry people will be angry I guess but I feel like this shouldn't go unchallenged.

Put a sticker on your car with Mini Cooper badge on it.

That ridiculous sign would have me wanting to park outside her house at every opportunity

Does she park outside your house if her space is taken? Is she comfortable taking someone else's space?

A woman who lives on my road will park in other people's spaces but you are not allowed to park outside her house.

I would park wherever is best and completey ignore / blank her. She does not dignify a response.

This.

Time to pull your big girl pants on I think. I know it's horrible and intimidating but the only way to deal with this is to stand up to her.

If approached in the street just say something along the lines of, "Look, I'll park wherever I can get a space and suggest you do the same". So unless you're blocking a drive or anything like that just carry on as you were.

Someone who comes to your house and is aggressively knocking on your window is not going to take a slight bit of notice of a note through their door.

AmandaHoldensLips · 02/11/2024 10:56

People like that are arseholes. Don't bother with a note. If they knock again tell them to bugger off with a firm reminder that - just like everybody else - they don't own the road in front of their house.

She sounds awful 😡on the one hand, I’d totally want to challenge her and remind her that she doesn’t own the road outside her house (& who the fuck does she think she is..??!!)..but on the other, you have to live there and if she’s brazen enough to be knocking on your WINDOW (I mean, wtf..?🤬), then maybe best to ignore.
horrible for you though
(& sorry my comment isn’t hugely helpful!!)
