I live on the same road is a primary school, about 60 feet from the gate. At drop off/pick up parents park both sides of the road when there isn't really room for this and it can be very tricky driving down my road and the roads that access it, and once I really couldn't manage it, the cars either side just made it too narrow. We've had a few letters from the school along the lines of "sorry, we know it's crap, please let us know the reg numbers of any poor packers and we will highlight it, also we're getting the PCSOs round" so they are proactive with it.
Anyway, I have a big drive entrance with dropped kerb and hockey stick lines which is continuos with my neighbours drive. Today swinging on to my drive from my usual angle I couldn't, as someone was parked sort of half way across my drive entrance. I could still easily get in though by going half across neighbours bit and then into mine.
It riled me a bit so after I parked I got out and saw someone in the offending car. I said "mate, you're parked half way across my drive" he sort of twiddled his fingers at me apologetically. I said "please don't do that again", my tone was arsey. He then said "sorry, just for a few minutes" to which I replied "I don't care how long it's for it's my drive and I don't want it blocked. There's plenty of parking up the road where you don't have to block people in" he nods and smiles so I said "the school have asked to know who is parking badly so please don't do it again" and went indoors. However my tone was very much full of arsiness.
I feel a bit of a prick, I'm someone who doesn't sweat the small stuff generally and feel most of us are just doing our best. And some people live on rubbish dumps in Bangladesh. So get over it. I could, after all, get on my drive and he was just a dad trying to pick up his kids on roads with no parking. WIBU? I'd just run the gauntlet of squeezing between packed cars trying not to knock wingmirrors off and I was pissed off about that really.
