Oh dear, I’ve upset the neighbours. Another parking thread

Agree, block HER in, why are people so entitled / selfish these days? (Maybe, although I hate this type of stuff, be casually ready with phone / video her parking, reaction at actually being called out on this etc). Or, as suggested, be overly nice, have a Very Polite chat with her mum & explain the issue. 🌷

Love imagining what I would do in these situations.
My street is similar. Narrow entrance, square turning circle with a ( ) shape of kerb on either side of the space. One ( ) has a tree on, the other is a parking spot bought by a neighbour. The square 'turning circle' has detached garages either side too.
My drive is directly opposite the ( ) with a tree on - some idiots literally park bang opposite my drive, with wheels on the grass surrounding the tree. If someone is parked on the street too then I'm blocked in! But it hasn't happened to me yet. I ought to draw a diagram really.

Some people park blocking access to the detached garages, my neighbours just pull up and lay on the horn until whoever it is rushes out to move.
Once there was an Evri driver who stopped in the middle of the road to deliver parcels, door wide open, fair enough, so I waited, but then after he'd delivered the parcel he went back in the van, grabbed a Greggs bag and his vape and stood eating and smoking!!!! I was shocked. And thrilled I got to lay on my horn too

How would being nice help though? They’re being dicks and being nice will make them think you’re not bothered by it and are happy to keep asking them to move!

You shouldn't have needed to ask her ro move. She should have been able to read the situation realise she needed to move without being asked.

Complete inconsiderate, selfish and defensive airhead! Some people really are unbelievable 😳

Your neighbour’s daughter is a twat.
You did the right thing OP and I think you handled it very well.
I echo other posters in suggesting you try and have a quick chat with the girl’s mother to try and help her understand that her daughter is being selfish blocking the road for no reason.
If that doesn’t work, I think you need to help the daughter by installing a car runway system on the road with landing (driving) lights, you in a high viz vest with green lights in each hand to help direct the young lady onto her drive. You may need to repeat the sequence 15 minutes later using red lights to help guide her off the drive.

Beeping and high beams and if she had a shity atitude a few choice words

She’s a rude idiot

speak to her mother

I hate people like this. It’s entitlement. If she is pissing off a few of you then you all need to complain to her mother. Failing that, all beep like fuck when she’s blocking one of you

So she is actually sitting in her car rather than at her mum's house?

If I was desperate for a week I would have just blocked her in and run inside!!

some people are stupid and entitled.

At my parents house there is an access road/alley for cars to get to the back of our houses.

Woman living in house on opposite side of the road regularly just blocks the entrance as though the road isn’t even there.

i had to pick parents up from airport once early morning and lo and behold I couldn’t get out as she was there. Got out of car, knocked on door to ask her to move.

i was very polite to her but she was FURIOUS at my audacity for waking her up 😂. Yes it was 5am but she is so thick that she couldn’t understand that her ignorant behaviour (people are always asking her to move, she has even had tickets) is why I was knocking in the first place 🙄.

In fact i'd actually go and have a calm word with the neighbour. I'd approach it as a ''im really confused as to why your daughter sticks her car in the middle of the (fucking) road instead of pulling into the drive'' question.

Oh silly cow what's wrong with her?!

Id be giving her a piece of my mind never mind a beep!

Why is it ridiculous. If the girl is blocking other residents’ driveways that’s an offence - blocking access to a public highway. Fixed penalty notice of up to £200. OP can report the repeated incidents to 101 non emergency police number.

She’s really rude. I wouldn’t care one bit if she ignored me for the rest of my days. Don’t spare another thought about it.

What a ridiculous idea

Sorry OP but you've apparently completed a cardinal sin by tooting your horn if my previous neighbours are anything to go by. Her father used to visit every few days and would completely block the access into my driveway.
Every single time it happened I would have to stop in the road, get out of my car, ring on her doorbell, and ask him to move his car so that I could enter my property.
One evening after a particularly shitty day at work I stayed in the car and tooted the horn until he came out.
The neighbours never spoke to me again which was quite a relief to be honest. Thankfully they moved a few months later.

I would have beeped too, to grab their attention so they move. Nothing wrong with it.

They sound very entitled.

I used to do this when neighbours inconsiderate visitors constantly blocked my drive. It worked.

You should have pissed on her car.

Or her mums driveway.

Or both.

Shes a cunt and she knows she is. You did nothing wrong OP.

Sounds like someone who can otherwise be found standing slackjawed right where you need to get to in a supermarket.

We have a similar set up, narrow entrance to a wide turning 'circle/parking area' (its square really)..

Person at the 'neck' of the entry has a habit of pulling up, a mile from the fucking kerb so no one can get round then waiting for fuck only knows what. Godot. I assume.

On a couple of occasions my sister has parked up behind her, blocking her from leaving, and come here or gone to do a delivery (she delivers food) - results in a lot of evil glares and swearing but she still doesn't seem to have learned. Next time she is blocking our van I'll tell DP to come in for one of his leisurely shits, they can take a good half hour!

Surely anyone qualified to drive a car can grasp if you're blocking a route, and someone shows up or tries to leave, you move. There should be no need to ask, it is pretty fucking obvious!

I think tooting on the horn was totally wrong.

You should lean on the horn, select full beam and inch forward onto her bumper!

Blocking access is rude and dangerous. She should know better, and of course you shouldn't be put in the position of needing to ask her to move. She shouldn't be there in the first place!

I suppose you could go over and discuss it with your neighbour, but I'd probably just ignore her. She and her daughter are probably not very reasonable people, based on their behaviour thus far.

When someone blocks our road (sounds similar to how yours is) the car blocked in or out will literally hold the horn down until they move. I don’t think YABU.
