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. Angry

I'd get the front garden turned into a drive and get a dropped curb. You can either do that or just put up with cars parked in front of your house.

winky you need to come over all faint ,right next to their cars, preferably after you have jsut applied hand/suncream. or slither down the car... making an awful screaching noise of damp hands on paintwork.

Park in front of his drive and leave a note on your car asking him to knock if he needs you to move. Repeat frequently.

Why does he have a ginormous car he apparently never drives?

SundaeGirl · 03/07/2012 08:05

None of your business!

SoupDragon · 03/07/2012 08:13

Was that to me?

Ugh. The curtain twitching!

If it's on the pavement it would be a shame if you were to walk past with a pushchair and a screwdriver and accidentally scratch it. And then turn around having forgotten something and have it happen again. And again.

Who is twitching curtains?

MulberryMoon · 03/07/2012 10:29

Park in front of his drive and leave a note on your car asking him to knock if he needs you to move. Repeat frequently. Very good suggestion, and you could say to him."I had to park in front of your house as some idiot with an enormous car has parked in front of my house so I've no where to park."
