Is a parking one...

[lemoncurd20]

So I live in a converted Victorian house which is now 3 flats.

Each flat has a numbered parking space, however due to the shape, any more than 3 cars and at least one person is blocked in (so visitors must park elsewhere).

Two people who do not live here have taken it upon themselves to park in our spaces, it seems they are there 9-5 so not a problem all the time (I have a day off on Thursdays so is an issue then as am blocked in) but at the moment I have a week off and went out this morning (about 11, no cars!) came back about 2 and there they were, in my space and my neighbours. I've had to block them in.

At first I didn't know who they were, and have still never seen them so I left a note on the car which usually blocks me in asking that if they had to block me in could they please leave a number. I received a really rude note back and no number.

I'm getting really frustrated, I don't think it's an unfair expectation to be able to access my allocated parking space when I need it.

AIBU or should I just continue having to find another parking space in town?

I suspect if you explain the issues to the land owner they would probably agree to you installing one anyhow?

I would if it were my land.

Some people are such arseholes. If you explained the situation to your landlord maybe he'd give permission for bollards?

Just a thought.
What if one of the others or the
ll is subletting the spaces.
Oh park here. No one here during working hours

if you do block them in, set up a camera just incase they scratch your car or something.

Marking place

Dog shit under the driver door handle.

Vaseline all over the windscreen.

Let the air out of a tyre (or 4)

I used to live beside a football stadium. We didn't have a car at the time but my neighbour did and he took match goers parking in his space very personally.

I would lie in wait for him and go bat shit fucking crazy. Id be a screaming loon. How fucking dare he! You need to get mad about this. Don't let him park there, don't tell him it's ok during the day, etc. it is your private space and he is not to park there at all....how would he like it if you parked on his drive!

I like the Vaseline and dog shit idea,

bloodyteenagers I have heard of that happening before!

Letting air out of tyres might be fun - you're not actually committing a crime and there is no damage to the vehicle (I'll bet they don't have a pump in the car though hahaha)!

Actually, letting the air out of tyres is theft. One of the first things you get taught as a law student.

You don't happen to know anyone who owns a box van or a motorhome do you (or a horse box, anything big really), that could be parked on a Friday lunchtime and left there for a few days?

Block them in and do the dog shit thing

Someone up thread offered a land rover? Love the idea of a Friday lunch time barricade.

Agree speak to the landlord.

Any update today OP?

What area are you in? My brother is a parking enforcement officer, I'm not sure if strictly he can do anything but the person who's parked there might not know that...

Gah the cheeky swines
What area are you in Lemon? Happy to contribute Range Rover for an evening 'park off'
