More Parking Fun.. With photos.

[WindInThePussyWillows]

Here we go again. Had a few issues with neighbours (2 previous posts) starting during my twin pregnancy when I parked legally outside their house, then when their son dumped an untaxed vehicle outside our house.. Bla bla

Just went to take babies to a hospital appointment and they've parked OVER my driveway. Not answering their door even though they are all home. Fuck off.

WIBU to pour paint stripper over it
(Joking!)

My car is the white one, and the space to the right is also my driveway.
Their cars are the grey one which is parked on the road space (hanging way over the dropped kerb) and the 4x4.

I'm already parked as far over as I can (DH car normally parked on other space) without ruining my grass.

Fuckers.

RedBlu I thought your first sentence was a bit off

Some people clearly are just inconsiderate cunts.

Who actually thinks it's perfectly ok just to park like this and harass someone else for parking legally on a road?

I'd would contact 101 and ask advice about harassment. Because I'm sure their behaviour comes under this whether the council considers that acceptable parking or not.

Gosh. I wonder how these people would fare here. We live close to the city centre in a large area of little Victorian terraces.

Houses are about 14 feet wide and mostly directly on the street (no front gardens). Parking only allowed on one side of the road, and you have to have a parking permit from the council. About 3 spaces within walking distance that are non-permit, and max 2 hours. Obv. there are substantially fewer spaces than houses.

Everybody is terribly English and polite about it though, although one family has a vast people carrier and I hate when they're parked in front of my house because it blocks the light (much in manner of caravan poster above), but I wouldn't dream of saying anything because if they're here it's because they can't park near their house around the corner, so they're annoyed too.

I think OP's neighbours would lose their MINDS.

Can you borrow a gang of small rowdy children for a game of rounders on your drive way?
Add in sticky food/sweets for additional handprints on paintwork
Lovely

I hope your visitors annoy them today

I did something similar Santa, but kind of in reverse.

Neighbours who share a driveway, before it splits into personal property, have always treated the shared area as their personal parking space. Waited until one day yet another car from their visitor was parked on it blocking my turning area and access to the house next along. Came up with a random excuse to need to knock on their door..... just as I was leaving said "BTW, have you seen the bloody parking of that inconsiderate sod (pointing at the car)....wonder who's it is? It's getting damn annoying it's so often, not like I need to access that spot or anything (sarcastic roll of eyes!). It was gone in 5 minutes!! lol

oooo update??

My nearest neighbour is half a mile away. I thank my lucky stars for this every time I read a parking thread, because if I had to tolerate that sort of shit I could see it escalating into a sort of parking death-match.

You are a patient soul, OP. Good luck with it.

Our guests have arrived, they went NUTS, we now have one car in garage, 1 on each of our driveway spaces and 1 in the space on the road. (Again, the road is an unrestricted public highway). We are all parked legally.
Banging on the door so ignored them, like they did to me when they parked illegally.

They stood on their outside table and shouted abuse at us over our fence, Infront if my 85yo grandmother, 3 children under 10 and my two babies. Stay Classy.

I did take photos and a short video.

Wind but also

Seriously though log this as it's harassment, do they really think it's their space?'

I'd get whoever has the car on the road to go out, wave bye to you, get in car, turn on engine, stare ahead for 5 minutes, knock it off and then walk slowly back into the house

Oh please upload them somewhere OP I have v bad pelvic pregnancy pains and could do with a giggle!

Poor you OP to be saddled with neighbours like them, what the hell is their problem do they think when they bought their house they bought the entire street?

Good move getting photographic and video evidence in case it escalates and you need evidence. I'd advise you to make contemporaneous notes and take photographs/video of any future incidents and make sure they all have a date and time on them.

Try to ignore them and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

That is harassment OP.

Sort out the H bar pronto and called the council every single time their wheels touch it. After several tickets they will get the message like the inconsiderate shits who used to park across my mum's driveway during the school run so she couldn't leave to pick me up from school

Pinky they fully think they have rights over the space, they know they don't own it.
They think because they have so many cars they are entitled to park them all close to the house.

Their son has parked about 10 houses up and clearly thinks it's the worst thing ever, he's not lazy or immobile he regularly skateboards and cycles about. It's also not a spectacular car he's worried about, it's a typical 18 year old boy car.

I can't post the pictures with their faces and with my babies in! I made the point to show in them the kids next to the fence because I thought it added weight to the severity of their inappropriate actions. Yes I know I should have just taken them inside ASAP, bad mummy.

They are proper arses. Would the shouting over the fence count as harassment? Would the police be interested? Did they make any threats towards you?

Bloody hell wind that's awful! What horrible people maybe you need to borrow bra's DH and his Land Rover/throwing arm?!

No threats just calling us petty losers we haven't parked there for any reason other than trying to make our guests more comfortable after their journey not having to worry about parking.

We shouldn't have to justify it thought, it's a fucking public road.

I will not let them get to me and ruin my babies christening weekend.

What a bunch of wankers!

We had parking wanker neighbours as well. They had 3 cars and then one of the daughters had a bf with a bloody great van. It was on street parking on one side of the road only and you had to have a permit.

They had lived on the road for a ling time when we moved in. Our house had been empty for a while and the two houses either side of us had been empty too. They had clearly got used to parking wherever they wanted and having access to the open plan gardens at the back of the house. When we moved in we had our car vandalised, abuse hurled at us, rubbish thrown in our garden and washing and various other instances of harassment. I hate them still and we left almost 2 years ago.

Just report the harassment to the police

Yup, report. Get more videos tell them about the dickhead comment. Ask other neighbour if they mind you mentioning their issues too etc

Agree with ^ - police asap

I would absolutely call the police... It is harassment.

Enjoy the christening weekend, and report them afterwards. Prats!
