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.

Friend ends in END

It's F-R-I-E-N-D

Why? You don't need a solicitor.

Because it's fuck all squared to do with you.

Jesus Fucking H Roosevelt Christ.

A camper van, how very dare they!

I'm a woman of principle. i would be hammered if i broke the rules. why should they get away with it.

Well, it doesn't seem to me like your principles are making you very happy.

You'll end up bitter and lonely if you don't watch out.

"But the developer is going to have to tell the neighbour who complained if it goes any further."

But it won't even come to that, will it? The neighbours will just take 2 seconds to think about who's been watching their every move and work it out for themselves. Scarlett I hope for your sake that they aren't the council estate type of people who will get arsey as a result.

"A Woman of Principle"

I cant take any more. I cant!

There is no hope for you.

Just blow the van up then.

"i would be hammered if i broke the rules" - what do you mean?

they do now I'm sure and no change.

If you're moving in less than 2 years, how fast do you think the court system works?

You'll be leaving, the van will still be there, someone else will move in, the bloke will get chucked out, and you won't even be there to see it.

And all the neighbours will hate you for ever because they can't get their road repaired or the bins lifted.

Pyrrhic victory, that's what you call that.

i would be fined in accordance with my deeds. that's why the camper moved.

Scarlett - twice you have told us how in trouble YOU would be if YOU broke the rules. Is there something going on in your life where you get punished?

Hello hello good eventide to you all

And a lovely gentle reminder that while this is AIBU whereby people are encouraged to take sides, obviously we also like folk to agree to disagree.
Thanks very much

hopefully van man will see the light and park elsewhere problem solved.

Olivia what do you mean??

I thought there were 2 vans?

Olivia, OLIVIA, what about the rules?

They're breaking them, you know, and not just about disagreeing!

AIBU for wanting people to follow the rules?

There are one has only just moved in. so would have a valid excuse to be there.

Please delete me. I want to be deleted, my head hurts.

Now that's a sentence I never dreamed I'd write.

There's a parking area in front of my mum's house which has similar parking restrictions. No vans allowed. Her neighbour parks his massive van right outside her living room window. She doesn't complain about it though. Why not? Because she understands that his entire livelihood is dependent on the contents of that van, so he wants it where he can see it.

"about as likely to succeed as a limp dick making a serious dent in a bowl of warm custard?"

PMSL. That's made my day! I'm going to take note of that one and use it often.

In all fairness to OP, our camper lives elsewhere, we have plenty of space on drive, I dont think its fair on the neighbours to have to look at it all the time.

Help yourself wen - I find it helps in all manner of difficult situations
