To be disproportionately angry with man in BMW and window cleaner?

I know I have no rights to complain but I feel a rant is needed...

BMW Man, I am sure he's very nice though I don't actually care because he insists on parking on our road every day sometimes his car is there for days without moving.

It's a road and I have no rights to it or who parks on it..HOWEVER. There are 8 cars that park on our road 9 now he is parking. You can park on both sides though it's a bit of a squeeze mainly because the lady 3 doors down can't park and needs 4 foot in front of her to drive straight out so instead of being able to park 4 cars on that road you can only get 3.

So now 1 car has to park across the road but now Mr Beemer has adopted our road and parks his in such a way that it's a very tight squeeze for any other car owner that lives here.

It has nothing to do with me, I can still park but as the title suggests I get really pissed off with him. I wish he'd fuck off and park on the road he lives on.

Then there's the window cleaner, dh has been having windows cleaned for yonks we live in a town house and every time he arrives a regular sweeping brush with hose attached is shoved against the window and the window 'brushed'. I don't think a cleaning product is used because the windows are always still smeary and look like shit.

I just wish people would park with more consideration and the window cleaner would either clean our windows or just stop altogether.

What is it with window cleaners? Had one once that charged 7 quid, did a great job, I was very happy. Took him about twenty minutes. Never saw him (or anyone else, so it can't have been a turf war) again. Why??

Did he have any cameras behind him? Was he an Apprentice?

Lol lweji no. Doesn't change the fact I can't see out of my windows. Aibu to think cleaning the inside is pointless if the outside is all dirty anyway?
Makes mental note to pester dh, who owns a perfectly good ladder...

If it's any consolation, we occasionally have to park in another road because our road is full of other cars, and we would MUCH rather park outside our own house, but it's not always possible. Someone once collared me about it, and I did point out that carrying a car seat with increasingly heavy baby wasn't my first choice of ways to stay fit, and I would certainly park outside my own house if I could, but that it wasn't possible. She seemed absolutely gobsmacked, apparently having believed that I was parking near (not outside mind) to her house because I was waging some oddly specific yet completely unwarranted vendetta against her, and she ended up apologising for thinking badly of me. So perhaps your BMW driver is pissed off about having to park there as well - would that help?

Like you say, you don't own the road.
