My neighbour is an inconsiderate arse but I don't have a leg to stand on :(

[BupcakesandCunting]

And so I can't knock on his door and moan at him which is riling me up even more...

I live in a terraced house with no off-road parking. Our street is a mix of this type of housing and a few big houses with driveways so parking is tight. The bloke two doors up (end of terrace) had his front garden turned into a driveway so his wife parks her car on there whilst he parks his 4x4 to the left of his house so his wife can easily get on/off the drive without him needing to come out and move the 4x4.

Now, the idiot has bought one of those massive Warrior cars (4x4 with an extra bit on the back) and he has taken to parking outside my house every single day and not moving it once so no-one even gets a fair crack of the whip at getting that space. It also takes up two spaces, pretty much. It just sits there all day. And (melodramatic) it blocks loads of light from my front door/window because it is fecking huge and black.

I don't have any argument to give him though. He's in a legitimate space. All he is guilty of is being inconsiderate. Every time I look of of my window and see this behemoth of a vehicle sat there I can feel my piss boiling.

Why don't you change yours to a drive?

Because I don't necessarily want a drive that much. Nor do I have a problem with parking at the other end of the street if needs be. I'm just pissed off that his massive car seems permanently in situ, and it is so huge that two other cars could park there. Why can't he just park over his own drive?!

Plus, terraced houses with gardens turned into drives look terrible.

You could surreptitiouosly put kippers or something in the back, and the local cats would come to investigate and shit in there...

I agree with you and would hate it too.

Its difficult you could glass outside your house to keep him away. Tell him youths were leaning against it?

People are selfish.

You've a splendid way with words op & i favour the upfront approach. Go & tell him & let us know what happens. We could always enlist an army of MILs if necessary.

I like the pilchards idea

I hate this! It's so bloody ignorant. There's no need for them to have 3 fuel guzzlers anyway!

I got annoyed at the workmen who keep blocking my mums window. (its across from a large bakery, they come everyday to fill the place with vats of flour that they plug into the wall) She lives in a small terraced street, no garden, they park their van right onto the pavement in front of her window and it actually blocks out her light. Not only this but she's suffering from a brain tumour and they're banging on the bloody machines they use with hammers (which I know is unnecessary because another group of them don't do it) which hurts her head :( I've complained to the council but never got a reply. Bastards. I told them to move their van the other day though, they did.

Can you not speak to this man? I would.

I think fake glass outside is the best suggestion. He is being inconsiderate - why 6can't he park across his own driveway?

If pigeons can be trained to fly home, can they be trained to crap all over a particular car?

You have my total sympathy. Yes, of course he can park a fully taxed and insured vehicle on the road but in the same breath he doesn't have to be a total twunt about it.

Where I am parking is horrendous. The overweight woman opposite parks right in the middle of two spots because then she's dead level with her gate. Believe me when I say she could use the walk. Bloke up the road with a 3 car drive parks his and his wife's cars on the drive and his van on the road all weekend.

I'm with the neighbour on this one. It's a public road ffs

mayor a little consideration goes a long way! How much room does the man want?!

Like a child who wants all the toys...

Have some sympathy for this man, he obviously has some unmet need in his life to need such a car. Perhaps SP syndrome?

Yes he can park there, but if it's blocking light it's hard to live with

OP, Get thee over to Realitys thread. We have some gung ho ideas for this exact situation.

You can have some grass and a driveway OP.

I don't really feel it is being inconsiderate as he has nowhere else to park it.

Maybe he should have thought about that before buying a third car? What if the OP decided she wanted a car and wanted to park it there?

Then OP would be perfectly entitled.

Then she'd be allowed to park there as its a public highway
And if he came on complaining about someone parking on a public road he'd be told yabu

Just because you can do something doesn't mean that you should. Sometimes thinking about someone other than yourself is a good idea.

So good I said it twice :o

I understand it is frustrating and irritating so for that YADNBU.

Buy a double decker bus.

hopefully he'll do something considerate for once like drop dead dead as my inconsiderate arsehole of a neighbour did after seven years of HELL
