Crashed into neighbour's car

I'm so pissed off!!

I have knocked on and ask my neighbours not to park one of their cars on the road, directly opposite my driveway as it means I cannot reverse off.

They stopped doing it, but today they parked the car there and I've reversed into it!!

For fuck sake! I know I am BU but I begrudge having to pay for the damage.

What have they said?

You should reverse onto the driveway and drive off. Even so, you're blaming your neighbours for your inadequate driving skills - their parking might make it harder but surely you just manouvre more?

Thankfully it was just a car you didn’t see not a pedestrian.

You really should reverse on the driveway...

Well on the upside they probably won't be parking there again 😂

Is it a legal parking space?
You'll have to pay the damage - but on the plus side, they might not park it there again.

You shouldn't be reversing off your drive anyway.

You didn’t look where you were going and crashed into a parked car, on what planet is that not your fault? Be mad at yourself.

Does your car not have windows or mirrors? How on earth can you blame someone else's parking for crashing?!
