It's a late night parking thread! AIBU?

My sister has recently moved to a new area. She lives in a cul de sac with room for 1 car on her drive. I have visited maybe 2-3 times since she's moved in and parked on the street outside apposite the cul de sac. I visited this evening and when I returned to my car found a note from her neighbour asking me not to park outside their house. No please/thank you, no explanation, just don't park outside our house basically, very blunt. This is a public road FYI. They do not have a driveway, but they do have a double garage a bit further up the road (at the back of their garden I guess). I have attached pictures.

I don't want to cause problems for anyone, especially my sister but there is room for maybe 3-4 cars along that road so surely they're not asking every single person who doesn't live there to move their car?! What do you all think? Crazy people?

They cannot prevent you parking outside their house but I’m sure you want to prevent bad feeling.
Why not discuss this with your sister, you park on her drive and she parks where she thinks best.

Have to ask the sister what she wants.
I'm polite. Park responsibly. But an entitled note with no manners, I would likely park there every day to piss them off. If it was a nice note i would always be considerate but if it wasn't polite then wouldn't ever be respectful to them.

Some people are very territorial about the space outside their homes.

I would continue to park there and ensure my dashcam was running just incase they decide to retaliate.

If the car is road legal, and you are parking in line with the rules then you are entitled to park on any road.
