To ask people to stop parking in designated disabled space...

[BlancheDuBois2]

I've taken to leaving post-it's on people's windscreens when they park in the disabled space outside my DF's house. He needs the space because he's got MS (blue badge etc, and the council marked the space out specifically for him). Ive just been told by someone I was leaving a post it for that apparently the parking spot isn't reserved for him, but can be used by anyone who has a blue badge. I was a bit and then a bit in case I've been completely unreasonable...

Am I being a twat? Or should people just find somewhere else to park? Round here is a nightmare, but that's not the point, in my opinion. I'm polite, but forceful in my post it writing (no swears, say please and thank you etc and always refrain from calling people wankers)...

the ones in my area say something like 'for batch number 12344' so I assume they are person restrictive.
but we are in a parking control area anyway, so only locals are allowed to park here.

piglet I am not sure she would have to apologise even if the person had a BB, not if there was other parking available.*

There is nothing in OP to say there were other spaces.

Thanks all, seems I was deffo wrong about it being reserved for him (no markings to suggest it's reserved for my parents.

Because the house is in the middle of their town, parking is really difficult and lots of people park on their road to get to the shops, restaurants etc. So it's always someone different using the space - hence my need for post-it's. I wouldn't usually communicate in that way!

I guess it's my stress about moving quite a long way away from them soon, and being a little bit worried they're going to leave the iron on and burn down the house or similar (my dad remembers to turn the iron off about 25% of the time). This is just my way of trying to make their lives a bit easier. But, I need to get over it. I will drink some wine next time it happens instead!
