I am being completely U and I don't care

[HarkTEEHeraldAngelsSing]

My next door neighbours are a lovely retired couple. They have an adult daughter who often comes to visit.

It totally gets on my wick that she parks her car in the road across the bottom of their drive, rather than pulling into their drive like a normal person would.

ARGH!!

No, it's none of my business. Yes, I have more important things to worry about. No, it doesn't affect my life at all.

It just makes me INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you.

Our neighbours have two cars, and a one car driveway. So they park their second car infront of their house. We park our car in our drive.

When they have visitors, which is everyday near enough, the visitors park across our drive, infront of our house blocking our gate, on the other side of the road meaning cars have to squeeze past.

When we have visitors, we make them park over the road where there's a little carpark thing. Its a 15 second walk, over a bit of grass, the footpath, and then across the road.

I know we don't own the space infront of our house, but their complete lack of thought for anyone else drives me crazy. When they park over our drive I glare at them until they move.

Thanks sebs

I'm sure he's just extremely busy but it's my lovely leather welly and the cheap rubber ones I bought as an emergency replacement are ill fitting and coooold.

I know when I rage about other peoples legal but slightly untidy parking then pmt is on the way! then beware anyone who has the temerity to breathe!

Yy to all you said sorry lougle I know IABU. For me fayre suggests something quaint and olde worlde which if carrying a mediaeval or later historical theme would be fine... .

I don't know about anyone else but Fayre to me does not mean jumble sale, tatty nicknaks or cakes that I could have made at home, which is what they all are now.

Fayre - means avoid at all costs.

Dammit, she's not actually parked across their drive today, but just at the curb.

All that righteous indignation, wasted!

ILoveMyDog I hate fucking autocorrect for that.

Sometimes I seem to deliberately search out things to make me cross so I can rant.

I inwardly rage when people don't annoy me sometimes or are just too damned pleasant.

I am a bad person!

And now I'm annoyed because they've obviously gone out for the evening and all I can see out my kitchen window is darkness rather than the glow of their kitchen and sitting room lights.

You're not a bad person monica, you just need a vent. Thank goodness for Mumsnet.

Ooh I mean

OMG today she is parked half across my drive!!!

It doesn't matter that I don't have a car!!!!

The cheek!!!!!!!!

The builders across the road from my house constructing a hyoooge building who think it is appropriate to dump their take away cartons/drinks containers/mcdonalds wrappers all over the road >:{
Mcnuggets? No, Mcstabby.

LauraStora our bin men do that too. Our drive is wide and long enough for four cars (previous owner used to do up classics so paved pretty much all the front) one day the bin men left our bin over one half and the neighbours' bin over the other half. It takes skill to be that bloody awkward!

We live on a corner as well so I had to leave my car idling, complete with toddler, knowing someone was likely to fly round the corner ten over the speed limit any second now.

I have a good one for completely unwarranted hatred - my elderly NDN goes out to his shed every single night, wiggles the padlock stands there looking around for about 20 seconds and then goes back in. What the bloody hell is he doing?!?!

I have 2 theories - he is either keeping his wife hostage (haven't seen her for a while)

OR much more likely - he knows that it annoys the bejesus out of me and so carries on doing it!!

Oh can I join in the curmudgeonliness?

MistAllChuckingFrighty similar to your 'Basically...' comment. I HATE it when you ask someone a question such as "How is work" and they answer with "Yes, yeah, yeah... its good". I didn't ask a Yes or No question....

I always think that their kneejerk 'yeah' is a desperate reaction to try and make out that all is good when in fact it isnt, so I always read much more into that cynical

There's two women I pass on the school run in the morning they walk two abreast and will not go single file to let me and my DD past they have pushed us into nettles etc one day I didn't make eye contact and just stormed through them they scattered like 10 pins!

I have a neighbour who parks his car on our other neighbour's driveway when they are away on holiday - for no good purpose that I can see.

It gives me the rage, even though for all I know they may have asked to use the driveway, and it affects me not at all.

Actually, for weird parking, our tenants do not have a car so we rented the garage out to a neighbour. he does not USE the garage for parking- what he does, is if someone is in the on-road parking outside his own house, he uses our garage to prop until they move and then he whips his car onto the road. Why he wants to pay us £80 per month rental of a garage just to do that is beyond my understanding.

Slightly the neighbours who are going on holiday mayhave sasked your other neighbour to park there to make the house look occupied. Our NDN has no car and asks us to park on his drive all the time. We have one on ours and one on his.

I sometimes read the Daily Fail comments section just to get my blood boiling!

Or...MistAll and Judgy... people who say ' I won't bore you with the details' and then proceed to do just that.

They usually precede the tale with: 'basically'...

Oh that is true FreeWee I never thought of that. I think it gives me the rage because the neighbour who does the parking is a bit sly, and is always asking for favours, so it just irritates me... but what you say makes a lot more sense. :)

people who say ' I won't bore you with the details' and then proceed to do just that Oh I just love people

Especially people who go on and on about themselves, their holidays, their dog being ill, etc and NEVER ask about you. I especially love those people.

Curmudgeon thread? Where do I sign?

I currently have the rage because one of my clients without fail sends EVERY ONE of her emails marked with high priority. I'LL be the prioritisation judge, thank you very much. Every time one arrives in my inbox I bore DH again with my fury.

My council delivered little brown 'food waste caddies' to all the houses on my street yesterday and a leaflet today advising how to use my caddy. Apparently i have to put all the food in it and then Empty it into the brown bin then take the brown bin down to the road as usual.

Just WHAT is the fucking point of the caddy?

People who park like cunts in a space big enough for three cars, but they somehow manage park so cuntily that the spaces at either end aren't big enough for any other cars to fit in. I walk past and get ragey and roll my eyes and mutter. I probably look absolutely barking.
