Blocking neighbour's car with bins

I know I'm being petty and passive aggressive but am I being that U?
I live in a row of 6 flats and we have a small car park in front of homes just for us as all spaces are numbered. The neighbour who lives in the house opposite has her own drive yet she still takes it upon herself to park in our car park, and not even in an actual space, just a very awkward position so she is next to her drive but not on it. Over the two years we have all been here (new build so all moved in similar times) myself and at least 2 other neighbours have asked her nicely if she cannot park there as it's awkward for many of us getting in and out. She stopped for quite a few months, but last night my mum popped round to drop some bits off and couldn't stay as she said she can't park without hitting neighbours car, I've not had chance to see neighbour today but tonight when I was putting bins out for our 6 flats, she was parked there again. By now I was feeling rather angry, and quite petty so I barricaded her car in with all the bins and recycle boxes; was that really pathetic of me because now I've thought about it I'm feeling it was perhaps too far, but I can't be arsed going back out to move them so I guess I'd like someone to tell me I should leave them where they are to make me feel better GrinConfused

I have actually known men who are such dicks that they would have a go at their wife/gf if her car was blocking his when he has to get to his super-duper job. Hmm

Maybe parking there makes home life much more peaceful for her. Not that this makes it ok for you and your neighbours to not be able to access your parking places, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was the reason for it.

Park on his drive and block him in yourself. Encourage your neighbours to do the same whenever his wife's car is blocking your spaces. Tell him that you will do it every single time your spaces are blocked and actually follow through on the threat. He will back down before you guys have to. Wink

Just a quick update: NO car parked where it shouldn't be tonight

How disappointing Sad

My first thought was that he dies the need to get out for work this evening. The proof will be in the pudding on Sunday night/Monday morning.

Anything parked there tonight?

I was just thinking the same Billow

I'm willing to pay the neighbours to park like an arse just to keep the thread going.

mummyof2pr · 08/01/2017 19:33

I think you should all block her car in with your cars and see how she likes it

HeadElf · 08/01/2017 19:50

I also think you should stir the pot up here OP for our entertainment!

HunterHearstHelmsley · 08/01/2017 20:08

Is she there tonight?!

pregnantat50 · 09/01/2017 01:25

i am guessing all is well :)

DonaldTrumpsTrump · 09/01/2017 01:38

I need to know if she's parked there again tonight! Grin

Has your neighbour been parking badly since the weekend OP?

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 12/01/2017 11:26

How about writing 'You park like an inconsiderate twat' on her windscreen in Sudocrem?

Being so thick and greasy, it will be really hard for her to clean it off - that should inconvenience her!
