AIBU to feel intimidated and extremely angry over parking outside my house

Get a Ring doorbell, and report him for harassment.

Seems unhinged.

This. We had similar opposite us and had to report harrassment.

In our case the woman who harrassed me car was parked legally outside my house and causing any issues of any sort. I did not and do not care who parks there. On the first day she parked there, I was coming out of my house with my son to take him to school. She didn’t see him, but saw me walking down the path. I wasn’t even looking at her when she screamed at me to get back inside and keep my opinions to myself. I was very polite and explained I was taking my son to school, and parking was none of my business as it’s a road without any parking restrictions people can park wherever they like. But she wanted a fight, so spend days and weeks glaring at me. When I did not respond, she just got more annoyed and started kicking over our wheelie bin on bin days etc, sticking her fingers up, yelling “bitch!”. Reported to the PCSO but before they could have a word she was never seen again. Think the family had to move on in a hurry. Bizarre experience, but we only got support from the PCSO when talking about her behaviour rather than parking. I did not, and still don’t, give a damn about anyone parking there.

Check your local council website - ours has a phone numbet and an online link for reporting illegal parking. If so I would take a photo showing how he is parked and car registration and report.

He is deliberately intimidating you.

Do you have a dh/ male friend/ family member/male neighbour who can be there instead of you one day?

I think it’s local councils that employ traffic wardens. I’d contact them and say they are sure to make money from this man on a daily basis. They may well send someone specifically for him. That might put him off parking there.

I really don’t think the police will do anything about one driver making rude gestures to another. And to be honest, given their appalling response to burglaries and other less newsworthy crimes, I sort of hope they won’t.

This is the very definition of harassment.

However, I speak from experience when I say that you'll need to be very specific in your language when calling the police non-emergency line to report it. If you begin by mentioning the parking aspect, the call handler will interrupt and state that "parking is not a police issue" etc etc. You need to make it clear from the beginning that you wish to make a report of harassment and then just refer to the parking as part of the wider context.

Sorry if that sounded condescending or patronising but I was in a very similar situation once and the call handler completely shut me down before I could get across that I was actually reporting harassment and not a trespass issue! I had to then try to deal with it without Police intervention which was difficult to say the least!

Community PC. You've his registration number, he does it every day, and he is now deliberately hassling you.

I wouldnt confront him, but might be tempted to laugh at him very obviously.

Also consider getting a ring doorbell if it can be angled in a place where it can catch him in frame. That way you will have evidence of any threatening behaviour.

Police without a doubt. He is clearly not bothered about you so don't confront him.

If you're finding his behaviour threatening, then inform the police. Do you have a community Pc or similar? Intimidating behaviour like this is not on. He needs to be told.

I'd consider reporting him for harassment. He's deliberately parking outside of your house every day, purely for the purpose of intimidating you. That's not OK and it's illegal.

If he's moving to threats and intimidation that makes this a police matter now
