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.

its sad world when the law abiding rule follower is in the wrong.

Ahhh so you would be fine if it was a brand new shiny clean van?

The people around you have worked hard for what they've got, too, and are justified in parking their works vehicle in the car park that they pay for.

Maybe you should work a bit harder so you don't have to settle for a skanky new build opposite an ugly car park.

Must be hard being so perfect!

If that is the worst you have to worry about you have little to do.

And have you considered getting a job?

Oh and it's quite not quiet busy.

Although ...

We have exactly those rules on our development.

The management company enforce them and anyone who refuses to comply can be taken to a leasehold valuation tribunal (I think that's what it stands for, LVT anyway) and if they don't comply their lease can be revoked. This process has happened here.

If you move into a house, especially on a new development then you are TOLD what the rules are. If you choose to ignore them there are consequences.

Having said that, OP, you will find life a lot more fun if you unclench a little.

I am begging you OP, on bended knees, don't buy the house next door to me which is currently for sale. It would cost me a fortune, to buy a van to park outside your house and a satellite dish aimed at your living room windows.

EXmrsmascarahead Let's do it!

But it's the rules!

Rules!

is rules is rules is -

Why are the parking spaces a free for all? Ours are numbered with house number

I have 2 designated spaces

I think YABU, but it seems that all is not right in your world Scarlett.

I wonder if anyone is having the same thoughts? This thread is heading in a predictable direction and it might be an idea to do some "reading between the lines".

It's just possible that attacking the OP is not the most sensible thing to do.

Try learning some grammatical rules, that should keep you busy.

Op I bet if you needed a job done, maybe the roof blows off in a gale, then you would want it fixed ASAP. The people who come will have a van and will park there. Would you have a problem with this because I can guarantee you no builder would carry there tools for miles just to do a job unless they where very short on money.

And I live on a council estate and it Very quite thank god for the teens next door who play there Music load

Is this van preventing you parking? Or is it just the sight of it out of the window?

I think in hindsight it was rather foolhardy for someone so particular with regards parking rules to buy a house overlooking a car park.

Have you thought of a career as a traffic warden? You would make a super one.

Seriously though, if things like this actually upset you a lot, you need to live in a detached house far away from cars and all other vehicles.

OP your expectations that everyone will follow every rule are unrealistic and the life you have lived so far has presumably demonstrated this in abundance.

I think for your own sanity some pragmatism is called for here - if you really wanted to live away from vans and satellite dishes then a detached house and your own driveway is perhaps what you should go for?

Either way getting a job could potentially work out well - either less time at home to get annoyed or enough cash to move somewhere more suitable! Having said all that living with low grade antisocial behaviour is not fun and if your neighbours are flaunting the rules to your disadvantage clearly that's a bit shit.

New builds are (generally) over looked and over crowded.
Mine is.

People park anywhere they can, because there isn't enough room.
YAB a bit U.

I've got a sky dish stuck on the front and back of my house (don't ask!) it would drive you bonkers.
Someone parks their van on a bend on the street, making it impossible to see past it when you're driving along.
Kids take up the whole street, every evening and all weekend, running in front of cars, kicking balls around, swinging their scooters out when you're driving past
People park up right against my front door (literally) Shame for them when Ds needs to get out on his bike.
Someone parks in both my allocated spaces
I park where there is meant to be no parking

You've got to just accept it.
Rightly or wrongly, these things will never be stopped.
And they will make you ill if you let them take over your thoughts. Really.
The parking in front of my door thing drove me crazy, got to let it go though!

i live in a detached house with my own drive i just face a terrace with a communal car park.

i have a job i do the accounting wages and book keeping for my dh's company, which i do most evenings usually tuesday for the bill of it. why would i let another person raise my children when i don't have to and do a job i enjoy.

it would not be fool hardy if said people stuck to the rules set out for them. hopefully i won't have to put up with this much longer and my solicitor will do their job. .

t would not matter if the van was new or not and you can still polish a rusty one.

how can you say my home is shanky curiosity. its lovely (apart from the view)we are lucky to have a new hone with a small mortgage and lots of equity.

why should i have to accept it? i ent out of my way to buy a home that stopped this sort of thing.

went not ent

Should've bought out in the country with a swimming pool and room for a pony a la Mrs Bucket then shouldn't you?

i will be happy when my solicitor does his job.

You do know that you'll just move on to something else don't you?

Seriously you need to get something more in your life than worrying about satellite dishes. And whether next door parks their van in an approved spot.

Maybe think on next time, huh?

When you move.

To somewhere else.

In your deeeee-tached with a drive an' all.

we could have and had more mortgage, no thanks, i want to be mortgage free in five years.
