Partner's neighbour went apeshit at me last week and I'm not sure if I should do anything else

I stay with my partner usually one night per week, and visit during the week sometimes. She lives in HA housing (not sure if this is relevant). I usually park sort of in between hers and her next door neighbour's house so as not to block her drive (her NDN doesn't have a drive or a car).

Anyway I pulled up last Saturday and her NDN came out, (I THINK from what my partner told me later) drunk, screaming and swearing at my partner who had just opened the door for me so was on her drive, and then came to my car door as I was still in the car, screaming and swearing 'DO NOT EFFING PARK HERE IS THAT CLEAR MY EFFING DAUGHTER HAS TO PARK SOMEWHERE etc etc' . I didn't say much other than I didn't know there was a problem and that she had never asked me not to park there but now she had, I would move the car across the road.

She also made references to my job and how she didn't want (don't want to out myself!) 's parking outside her house.

I half wanted to tell her that I paid my tax and she didn't own the road and I would park where I wanted, but I was worried she'd key my car or let my tyres down or something.

I am wondering if I should risk parking there again, if it's not worth the risk of her being like that again, if she did anything illegal? and also wondering if she may have it in for me now and what to do if she says anything else, and also just curious as to what others would have done in this situation?
It shook me up a little but I kept calm. Did I do the right thing?

Well I know disturbing the peace is a criminal act, but I wasn't sure if that was what had taken place there.

I think you would be hard pushed to get the police to take action from the story that you have outlined here, just because I have experience of abuse from neighbours and getting them to take action is next to impossible.

sounds like my old neighbour… alcoholic, we were in HA… she'd go nuts about her daughter (didn't' drive herself) when we were all in the same boat as to finding a place to park. She'd come out thumping the cars (of course she couldn't drive..she was rarely sober) We'd get vicious , spiteful letters and the next day she'd appear at door begging us to rip the letter up… 'it's the drink'
If you are in town , starting S ending in N, full sympathies !!

I wouldn't have got the police involved especially given consequences probably would have been my partner not for me, I did want to know though in case it happened again.

That sounds horrible, alltoo ! And no, not that town Wink Maybe she moved lol

Some people honestly shouldn't be allowed to live next door to other people when they behave so badly.
