Would you mind your neighbour’s visitors parking on your driveway?

I don’t have a car at the moment (looking for new car) but my neighbour’s visitors have been parking on my driveway

It is definitely my driveway (has the numbers of the houses in front of the driveway).

AIBU to be annoyed?
She dosent even ask.

Its happened a few times now, if it happens again I am going to tell them to move their car.

AIBU to do this as I don’t have a car at the minute?

Tell them to ask in future.

We never have a car but we have guests with cars and DH’s cousin always uses our space when he goes to watch football.

Very rude unless they ask you first.

Of course this isn’t ok. Cheeky fuckery all round. If she’d asked because she can see you’re not using your drive at the moment then ok, but to assume is being a CF.

Nip it in the bud otherwise you’ll drive home from getting your new car and the visitor will be stopping you parking it!

Surely your neighbours have told them to do so, otherwise they wouldn’t know you don’t have a car.

If my car was not on it and they asked, no problem but I would have a problem if I didn't have a car and they just assumed they or their visitors could use it.

Can you put a big pot plant on it or just tell them not to use it?

If you don’t want them to then I’d mention it now. I wouldn’t like it and I’d ask them not to do it.

I’d say “just to let you know, I’ll be getting a car soon so your visitors won’t be able to park. Here’s my number though in the meantime for you to check if my drive is free that day”.
she’s a CF.
