to tell my just-moving-in neighbour to move his car...

...off my driveway?

DD shouted through that there was a black car outside bloody curtain twitcher and when I looked it was parked on my driveway at an angle blocking both of our cars in the garage.

When I went outside there was a truck reversed into the garage next door with guys unloading furniture so I told them to tell the owner to get his car off my driveway.

There's hardly anybody around here right now so I'm a bit perplexed as to why he had to pick an occupied house to put hi car in plus I'm a bit uptight in that if I need to get out in a hurry, I don't want to be having to locate the owner of a car parked on my private driveway.

After I swanned back in I saw a guy walk past my house so I went outside to see what was going on. He introduced himself as someone who actually live 4 doors up and is moving next door, apologised and said he only put it there for a few minutes to unload park outside your own house and unload.

I said if he needed to park on my driveway he could but I'd appreciate it if he parked to one side so I could get my car out if I needed to.

I came back indoors cringing thinking that it possibly wasn't the best way to introduce myself to my new neighbour but also a little pissed off that he thought it ok to just block someone's driveway for his own convenience.

Should I be rightfully cringing? Blush

Oh I have it on Twitter.

I thought it was just for media that limited the number of characters in the text box?

Littlegreenapples and bodyofeeyore why do feel it is acceptable for anyone to park on someone else's private property, not just blocking it, but ON it, even for just a few minutes, without permission. Please let us into you way of thinking, we are genuinely curious.

Little green apples can be sweet or sour?but that depends on which orchard you belong to. Chippin reminds me of my student days of the ones who drink and agree all night and then just ?chippin.??.I loved that shower?.now should it be the little black dress?or the red one?

It's less acceptable to park on a poor angel than on a driveway, regardless of who it belongs to!
