I can't believe I let rip at the guy who came to fit a tracker in DP's car yesterday 
. Was I being unreasonable however...!
Guy sent from insurance company to fit the tracker as DP has a limited mileage policy. He turned up at 1250 (due between 1300-1700) and I leave for work at 1300. I looked out the window just to make sure he hadn't parked across the drive - as people coming have a habit of doing... he hadn't parked there. Got on with getting ready for work, and glanced out the window 2 minutes later, to find he had pulled DP's car on to the last metre of the drive, and the rest of the car was on the pavement completely blocking it from all pedestrians. He had then parked his car directly across DP's, on the main road. Anyone trying to walk past had to cross a busy main road.
Shouted for DP and told him to tell the man to move the cars, as I was about to leave for work, and he would make me late (plus it was blocking the pavement). He told the guy - response was to say 'ok, just switch the cars around'. DP said this wasn't possible as he wasn't insured for my car (I was getting my uniform on before leaving at this point). The guy tells my DP 'it doesn't matter, you're only moving it off the drive' (on to a main road!!!!!). Quite reasonably DP refused. DP came back to me to tell me what was going on. I said to him to tell the man to move the cars now, and gave the man a VERY valid reason for why he must move them now and not prevent me from getting to my work. He went back out to tell the man, and he still didn't move the cars. At this point I was 30 seconds away from walking out the door, so sent DP again to tell the guy he must move now as he was going to prevent me from getting to work on time.
He still didn't move!!!!!!!! I came out the house and literally let rip at him . Can't remember exactly what I said, but needless to say he got the sharp end of my tongue - which is totally not me. His response was he hadn't moved the cars because I hadn't come out the house yet!!!! Its a main road, it takes time to back off the drive, and he had 2 cars to move!!!!
I think he was being completely unreasonable in blocking my car in, and blocking the entire pavement on the main road (which is illegal). He was unreasonable to be asked 3 times in 10 minutes to move the cars, and not to do so. I am going to complain to the company. Who was being unreasonable?!
BTW, before any one asks - my car lives on the drive because that's what I declare on my insurance - dp's is parked on the road because that's what we said when we took his insurance out. The car was parked with the side he needed to do the work towards the pavement - so no excuse for needing to move the car for safety. Anyway - what would he have done if we had no drive?!
Sorry for the rant - It really has annoyed me - rudeness and ignorance get on my nerves!
