for wanting people to follow the rules

[ScarlettAlexandra]

i am really annoyed with this. i moved from my last home for my neighbours parking their vehicles in our spaces and it got really nasty. we have since moved to a new development where there are set rules about what you can and cant do re: parking and vehicke types its ones of the reasons i bought the house. My new neighbours are basically flouting them even though they have been warned by the developer.

aibu to expect for people follow the rules that are set, and not take the piss.

its been handed to the solicitors now i hope this can be resolved ir ill be moving again.

Oh that's going to be such a nice tangle when it all gets to court.

The only people who'll win will be the solicitors and barristers.

And all your neighbours will hate you.

Is that really what you want?

Do come back and let us know when and where it goes to court won't you? because I want to come and watch

Oh sorry Fuckarama, I spelled your name wrong.

"OP, you don't live in a nice house. You live in a new build overlooking a carpark and terraced housing. It is a total oxymoron to say it's a nice house."

This is exactly what i was thinking from the description.

OP - you should move to a deaded council estate, no one works so there are no vans

Crackers!

Would you rather the neighbour opposite was unemployed? No van... No, no WHITE van, there is a van hierarchy going on here I think...would it be better if he had no van, no job and no purpose to his day?

i was in all day having a duet day with dh and dc's watching dvds and playing with them. as i said i face this van you cant miss it from our lounge.

If I were the van owning neighbour I would fight tooth and nail to keep my van parked there. Where else can you aprk a van full of tools and leave the doors open ALL DAY safe in the knowledge that Scarlet is keeping an eye on them?

Good point VivaLeBeaver.

Not only will the neighbours hate you they will find many, many non rule breaking ways of pissing you off even further. I know I would. It would become my new hobby!

duvet not duet

dreaded even, not deaded

WTF is a duet day?

Imagine a post in AIBU from someone who says 'I moved into a flat where the lease said I couldn't park vans and commercial vehicles in the car park, I knew that, but now I'm there it's inconvenient to park it on the road so i bring it into the car park. Now there is a woman opposite who is objecting, IABU in wanting her to shut up about it?'.

Everyone would say 'you knew the rules when you moved in'.

Whether or not it is what any one of us would get upset about is not the ppint. For her own reasons the OP esearched the rules because she knows what she doesn't like. Now all she wants is the lease rules upheld.

I moved into a flat and signed the lease to say I wouldn't have wooden or other hard floors. So I didn't, even though I wanted them.

I live in the country too Random. There are no cows here, noisy or otherwise, but we do have some very loud starlings. And my next door neighbour owns a caravan as well as a Volvo, I can see it, I can! Shouldn't be allowed, they don't even work, they're retired don't you know.

And they have their groceries delivered. In a van!

Scarlett, I hope that you never need to have your groceries delivered. Unless of course you're going to insist that Waitrose use a boy on a bike to bring the loo roll for your bathrooms. All of them. (Yup, I noted that one).

So you were lying about doing nothing and your neighbour was getting his van cleaned and sorted so he could go to work and you're complaining about HIM?

I am utterly lost for words.

And that doesn't happen often.

Ooh I have the solution! Net curtains! Or a big hedge or fence!

You CAN miss the van if you stop LOOKING AT IT!
Look at your dh or dc or the dvd............

good post ladybeagle

I am strangely disappointed that you didn't have a duet day, Scarlet

I would find a hell of another way to annoy you, let's say park over the drive once your car is out thanks to MN I know this is legal

they don't know its me complaining i have chosen to remain anonymous behind the developer who are enforcing their rules.

its not hard to park elsewhere. why would this person lose their job? rent a space or a lookup. my parents have to for their caravan.

I really will step away. I really am trying to be reasonable. I am also trying very, very, hard not to respond in the style of my late mother who would have reminded the OP that it is hard to remain superior all the while you have a "lounge".

They'll be told before it gets to court.

They'll have to be.

What's a look-up? Is that a lock-up with a naice view?

Of course they don't know it's you complaining. You haven't got any cojones.
