Every so often I have neighbours’ tradesmen parking across my driveway and it really pisses me off. There is tons of parking on the street so they do it out of sheer laziness, not wanting to park an extra 10 or 15 feet away, or even directly across the road. They never, ever knock on my door to ask if it’s ok/say that they’ll move straight away if I need them to.
What annoys me as much as the selfish parking in the first place is that, without fail, these men are always rude and sneering if I ask them to move their vans. As though I’m in the wrong for not wanting them to park over my drive and more than once they’ve suggested that I’m an inept driver for not wanting to attempt to manoeuvre round their vans. I’m a perfectly capable driver but I don’t want to bloody try to get round their van and risk scraping my husband’s car which is parked next to mine. I want them to not park over my dropped kerb in the first place!
