Aibu over lady using my parking spaces.

We live in a housing estate and each house or flat has one or two spaces allocated to them. Most of the spaces are directly outside our houses except a few that are round the side that have garages. The spaces aren't numbered but everyone seems to know who's is whose. There's a new neighbour that has moved in next door to me (a corner house) and has a garage parking space round the back of her house, however she uses both my spaces as she parks in the middle of them. It's quite annoying when there's nowhere else to park as you have to park further down the road.

I went over today and introduced myself and poilitley told her the spaces were mine and hers was round the back but she was welcome to use our other space when we don't have guests but could she park to one side so I can fit my car next to hers. She looked at me with a blank expression, said no and shut the door on me! What do I do now!? I just stood there for a moment open mouthed and then went home.

Now I'm not sure if she has mobility problems as she's not exactly nimble anymore (about 65) but I am shocked at her one word reply!

Don't Google those penguins. They are all you will see on your interwebs FOR EVER.

blimey what a rude woman - I'd post a copy of the deeds outlining who owns the spaces and suggest she stops or you will seek legal advice - out the shit up her!

Sounds like they aren't actually assigned. If she's in the middle of two is it because she has mobility issues, in which case the solution is an assigned space for people with disabilities or is it crap driving and bloody-mindedness, in which case, talk to whoever runs things there.

Scatter nails or other sharp objects over your parking area.
