to be pissed off at this note left on my car - I want to reply but DH says don't

[CalmaLlamaDown]

Few weeks ago neighbours left a note on my car saying don't park opposite our house as we have a newborn baby and it makes it difficult. I am not totally sure what they mean as they have 2 cars and 2 side by side spaces on their drive.

Anyway, no big deal to us, we have avoided parking there since. Now today we are parked further down the road and get another note saying they think we reported them to the police for damaging our car and that it wasn't them.

I want to send a note back saying I don have the foggiest what they are on about but DH says leave it as might end going back and forth etc. If we don't reply will they think it was us that reported them? I want to tell them to bog off to be honest.

Any ideas for a suitably polite response?

Sorry forgot to update - I knocked a couple of times but no reply so ended up putting a short note saying they had made a mistake, we have no damage to our car etc.

Now i have noticed that they are blocking people in, i mean literally bumper to bumper - obviously deliberate. The annoying thing is they can get there other vehicle off their parking space when their own car is parked across the road - they only have these 'access' problems when the car parked there is not their own, weird huh? Hope this makes sense!

If they're causing a deliberate obstruction and nuisance to other people, is it worth contacting your local police station and seeing if they can send a PCSO over to have a chat with them?

What loonies. They aren't doing themselves any favours, pissing the neighbours off when they don't know if they will need help from them one day.

I had a note at the weekend. Our house is up a short lane and the bin men don't come up the lane so we put the rubbish at the end, along with the other neighbours. We had a note from one of the houses at the bottom to ask us not to put our rubbish by their house but to put it by the old signpost. This is exactly the place we do put it! Also, we only put the bags out in the morning so they are only there for an hour tops. Some people are putting them out the night before and they just end up getting ripped apart and rubbish goes everywhere. Why do people do that week after week when they know full well what happens?

In our area all parking problems are dealt with by armed police! Apparently it's because they are sitting on their arses with nothing to do most of the time.

It's great fun when someone's complained about a car parked annoyingly to see the cop turn up all tooled up!

I have had to put this to the back of my mind to be honest as the notes / blocking in even to other peoples cars was winding me right up - herein lies madness. I can see how minor disputes can easily escalate. I have to walk past their place about six times a day for school run, work etc so its hard not to notice their latest tactic. You would have thought with a 'newborn' they would have something else to focus on...

I know what you mean op, its easy to get really wound up by these things, they do sound utterly bonkers!

I would conside ringing the police and explaining the blocking in, but only if its your car they are blocking, otherwise it would appear petty which its not they are weirdos

You really would think they had better things to do!

IGNORE THEM FROM NOW ON!

Keep the notes as evidence - smile smugly that you have written evidence of their behaviour. Keep a diary of times, dates etc

Ignore the sad, petty twats. ooh grrrrrr

Willfully blocking someone in is an offence. Hopefully one of your neighbours will report but if it's you they block then do report.

Thank you for updating Calma. Sorry it's still an ongoing issue with their idiocy though.
