Parking wars - Extremely annoyed

DH just got in from rooting around in our garage. The woman living above our garage has confronted him asking if he has a problem with her. He said no why? Well you had a go at me for parking in front if your garage. Erm no we didn't, the lady in the sales office asked you to move so we could get in our garage. Well you didn't tell me that the space I've been parking in is someone else's- not really our position to. Well where am I supposed to park? Bloody hell she has two spaces of her own within 12 foot of her fooking front door but obviously not close enough for her! So AIBU for wanting to give her a piece of my mind for having a go at my gentle DH who wouldn't say boo to a goose??

I wouldn't have a go at her now, but I can see why you want to.

Wait and see where she parks in future.

Why does she live above your garage? Are you on one of those new-build estates if you still have a sales office? They build houses with bits that go over other people's property don't they?

Sorry, can't get beyond giggling at a woman living above your garage.

She has an apartment over her own, mine and someone else's garage. The guy who's space she has been using has just moved in and asked us if it was our car in his space, we said no but told him who's it was. She even had a go at my DH for disclosing this information to the guy too. It is a new build.

As you've all recently moved in, I suspect this is going to be the first of many interesting 'to think that you'll never guess what she did today' threads.

I will never understand people who know what is their own but seem to try it on by encroaching on other people's property.

The parking space should be allocated with the lease. Tell her to check her docs.

Euro - it is allocated. And I am not even going to speak to her because if I do I will probably give her a few choice words. But apparently she's going into the sales office to have words. I mean For fucks sake you get what you pay for .

Smile and pretend nothing has happened, and hope that this isn't just the beginning of a weird neighbour relationship.

Katy- I don't really see her as the garages are in a block to the back of our houses. My next door neighbours seem to be very nice. I suppose I'm just a bit territorial of DH. I'm the only one who's allowed to have a go at him.

I would let the people in the sales office deal with this one - it's their job.

Inertia- it would be nice if they did but I don't think they will as once we moved in they kind of washed their hands of us and only seem interested in the perspective buyers walking through the door.
