I've parked outside someone's house and they are not happy

[PointlessPigeon]

Waiting to go and visit friends. Hadn't written their cards. Pulled up a few streets away to sort them and just about to leave. House I'm parked (perfectly legally) opposite doesn't appear happy.

Been here 15 mins.

They keep peering out the windows. Have opened and shut the front door twice on some kind of errand. That appeared like they just wanted a nosey.

Op where did you go?
Im worried they have all come out of there houses chanting "one of us" and snatched up op into the neighbourhood watch cult.

We need a drawing!

My PiL's street used to never have people parking on the road, everybody parked neatly on their own drives and seemed to be really territorial about the piece of road in front of their houses.

Whenever PiL came to visit us in London (typical street of Victorian terraces with no drives), they'd be constantly staring out of our living room window and exclaiming at every car that parked in front of our house. No amount of pointing out that everybody including us just had to park wherever they could, and that nobody owned the road and none of the actual residents minded in the slightest, would desist them from exclaiming at parked cars.

These days PiL's street is full of parked cars, because every house has multiple cars and vans which can't fit on the drives. And it seems like half the residents can't actually park in a sensible way so it's a zillion times more crowded than our London road ever was
