There is a family across the road who have 2 cars, plus a works wagon that takes up 3 spaces, and now there adult daughter is back home so altogether they need 6 spaces for the whole family. they can fit 2 on the drive which they do, then the rest are parked as close to the house as they can get.

Dp had to park outside there house last night, I park outside my house even with a drive i get sick and tired of having to go knock on peoples doors asking them to move there cars as they are blocking me in with a screaming toddler its not great to have to do it anyway, even with signs on the gates people still continue to block me in so i dont use it at all now. Hes just left 5 minutes ago and i went to throw something in the bin and saw the mum of this family moving 1 of the cars to where dp had parked. She has space on the drive and the rest of the road is empty. What makes people behave like this.... i just find it really strange the need to mind the road outside your house so nobody can park there??

She saves spaces with wheely bins or parks the cars on the drive, on the rd to save spaces that way. I seriously dont understand why people are so precious about the road outside there house, unless you own it of course but i live in the north west, not exactly London. The man next door is the same, in fact he went out before in his car and puts his wheely bin in his place, the woman in known to moan at anyone who dares park in "her" space. Am i missing something? When did it become essential to park right outside your house?

I'm confused too BackforGood.

If I was your neighbour I'd be pissed off that you had a drive and didn't use it instead you or your DH parked outside my house

Hhm i'm not precious but I will say that a neighbour three doors down prefers to dump park their shitheap white van in front of our lovely garden rather than in front of their jungle because the woman doesn't like her view being blocked Hmm other than that which I consider rude I don't mind who parks where but I will say we're a quiet street with everyone having plenty of off road parking so never a problem
