to be fuming at my neighbour?

We have new neighbours and a shared drive. They usually park on the road because it's difficult to get in and out. For the last 2 years the house next door has been empty and we've got used to having the drive to ourselves.

Last night NDN parked on the drive blocking my car in.

Then he knocked on the door, asked me if I needed to get out, could he leave it there overnight and told me to knock on if I needed to get out any sooner.

Inconsiderate bastard. I could have FROTHED and FUMMED and had a 1000 post rant and he had to ruin it by being polite and bloody reasonable.

There there OP. Maybe some day you'll get neighbours that park so far over on the shared side-by-side driveway that passengers have to get out before you park your own car, like mine.

I am now fumming that unlike sparkling none of my neighbours has ever fetched me a McFlurry.

Funnyfoot · 07/04/2014 14:15

OP it isn't fair when nice polite people spoil a bloody good MN whinge by being considerate!!

Does he not realise you could of got at least 10 pages and unlimited Hmm had he just said nothing.

What an arse. Grin

littlemisssarcastic · 07/04/2014 14:17

Well my ndn made my life hell for years, then had the audacity to bloody move out! !!
I could've frothed and ranted for hours about her but she denied me even that by moving out.
Worse still, my new ndn's are really nice.

YoureAShoe · 07/04/2014 14:17

I was on the lookout the other day thinking there could possibly be an AIBU about me! Queuing in a shop tesco it was one like for self service and cashier (bad design) all self service were free but I had a huge trolley on big home things. Asked the lady behind if she'd like to use the self service so she could go in front. She declined and said she only had batteries and wouldn't be long. I didn't let her in front of me for the people tills. Grin She was furious, glaring at me until she was called to the next available till 30 seconds later Smile

OP YANBU, key his car maybe? That'll learn him Wink

YoureAShoe · 07/04/2014 15:10

Did I kill the thread Shock
Sorry about that! Grin

Stinklebell · 07/04/2014 15:27

Most of neighbours are nice and never give me stuff to rant and rave about, they bring my bins in, feed my cat if I go away and take parcels in for me. Inconsiderate so and sos.

I do have one that has kept me in ranting material for years though, so all's well Grin

ConfusedPixie · 07/04/2014 16:53

Southern I can't really, nobody else would put up with me Grin Wink

More reasonableness. My massage guy was coming round to give my LL a massage and rearranged all of his appointments to fit me in for 45 minutes before her since I missed mine last week and will miss this weeks. Too reasonable!

Preferthedogtothekids · 07/04/2014 17:54

I've just had lunch out with my teenagers, my Brother and SIL, my Mother and nephew (8) and niece (3).

Nobody fell out with anyone, the food was good and the kids all behaved.

How very dull and reasonable.

I have one moan - It was Tony Macaronis, my first time there. Lovely choice of main course for £5 each, well-cooked and tasty, but the ice-cream deserts were all over £7 each! I was very mean and nipped into Macdonald to buy us all a McFlurry.

Jux · 07/04/2014 18:06

My bastard neighbour is having his trees lopped a bit and he had the downright gall and temerity to come and tell us. What's more the inconsiderate evil twat asked us if we'd like his tree surgeon to come and talk to us about doing our tree too. To add insult to injury, he has said that the bits which get taken off our tree can be removed by way of his garden as there is no way out of ours.

I hate him.

Sparklingbrook · 07/04/2014 18:12

Just she is the best neighbour ever, and her children are lovely too-it's all so, um, nice!

Sparkling cat has been 'bullying' a neighbour's cat though. Whatever that is. Sad Letting the side down completely.

Zucker · 07/04/2014 18:14

Here's the thing though. Are YOU all the unreasonable people in your neighbourhoods if everyone around you is so reasonable?

Could be some scope for some fumming about that

BlackeyedSusan · 07/04/2014 18:27

bloody neighbour. I am in need of a good parking thread. how inconsiderate. Grin

DocDaneeka · 07/04/2014 18:49

Humph. Well I'm fumming also because my washing machine has broken and the engineer needs a part which he can't get till Friday.
my neighbour had the absolute bloody cheek to do a load of washing for me AND brought me some flowers to cheer me up. Bastards.

HappyAgainOneDay · 07/04/2014 19:02

I can have a moan, too. I was out all day yesterday in the wind and rain at an outdoor event. My hair was an absolute mess when I arrived home, only to find a note from my NDNs asking me to evening dinner. I went round, looking dreadful, to accept the invitation. I had an hour to make myself presentable and failed. I was cross that they made me welcome although my hair looked dreadful. They have seen me in nightie and curlers sometimes. Grin

Do people have a sense of humour failure at the moment? Hmm
Haha very funny op I got it Wink
Many a thread has been thwarted by polite and courteous peeps Grin

ZenGardener · 08/04/2014 08:21

I don't get why you are so angry! At least he had the decency to ask you.

{Pretends to have not read the thread so the OP can have the full AIBU fumming experience}

annebullin · 08/04/2014 08:23

Never mind OP. He may well leave the bins out on bin day.
You should really follow him though just to make sure that he's not parking in a parent and toddler space.

PolkaSpottyDotty · 08/04/2014 08:31

When I was heavily pregnant, NDNs teenage son brought home a HUGE cake for me from the bakery he had a part time job in.

I mean, how rude is that?

My biggest problem is that he doesn't work there anymore so there are no more cakes

Ha ha, this reminds me about a time when the fella in the car behind me gave my car a minor bump at a roundabout. I looked in my rear view mirror and saw him rolling his eyes and starting to mouth ''fuck.." so I jumped out of my car, all puffed up and outraged, he came out if his car and I said, "you bumped my car and you are swearing at me?"
He said, "I'm terribly sorry, I was swearing to myself. Are you ok? Is you car ok?"
He was telling the absolute truth, I realised, and after ascertaining that my car was fine, I had to deflate myself and tell him, "that's ok, no harm done".

WillYouDoTheFandango · 08/04/2014 09:03

Ooh you all need to come to my local soft play on a Sunday.

£2.30 for a single small teacake, an unsupervised toddler area with 2 7 year old boys wrestling in the middle, even a 5 year old whose dad let him ride a trike down a slide into a gaggle of babies.

I've never tutted, glared or sighed as much in any other 2 hour period

I even have a neighbour who stands in his doorway giving you the hard stare if you dare park on his front. He moves his car onto the road the second you move despite having just the one car and a two-car driveway.

I pity those of you without an outlet for your impotent rage.

Forgettable · 08/04/2014 09:11

Oh I am totally envious of your two hour long tut stretch, WillYou

Our soft play (when dc were little, now they are young teens) well it was always LOVELY, with decent coffeeand home made cake, victoria sponge about five inches high. Harrumph.

WillYouDoTheFandango · 08/04/2014 09:18

The coffee's shite too Forgetable, it really does have everything.
