Blocking neighbour's car with bins

[Summerisdone]

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

When the husband gets home, you should pop over there and invite him to park his car in any of the spaces that are blocked. Maybe they don't realise how difficult it is when the wife's car is parked where it is.

Stick notices on the car asking them not to park there. Use increasingly strong glue.

I hope you wake up early enough to peek through the curtain at your neighbours reaction!

Just put a note on the window " oi, you selfish mare. Park here again and I will have your car towed" or you could do what a neighbor of mine did when the office workers kept parking in his speck and rub an entire meat and potatoe pie on the windshield-from curtain twitching I saw that it does not clean off easily- I'd imagine it frozen on overnight would be even worse....

Iirc it is illegal to park across a drive if you're blocking someone in but not if you're preventing them getting onto their drive or space (although I could be wrong). So if their drive is empty when your mum comes round she can park across it. Then they'd see what a pain it is to be blocked from using your own parking space

I would put the bins back.

You can peel threads off duck tape which, when appllied to a car body, make it look like it's been scratched. Spell out NO PARKING HERE YOU TWAT on her bonnet.

Put the bins back around her car

Do you have a lot of pigeons locally? Put bread on her roof.

Apply to your council to put yellow lines there.

yeah he will probably be angry (hopefully with his selfish wife and not you)

So is her car still there?

From another thread -

1. Vaseline under the windscreen wipers.
2. Note on windscreen saying "Parking here and preventing others from using their spaces when you have your own drive is selfish. Consequently there is now Vaseline on your windscreen wipers. If you use your windscreen wipers while the Vaseline is there it could obscure your vision. You need to clean it off first. If you park here again you may or may not have Vaseline on your windscreen wipers again, you may or may not be told."

I'd go out and put the bins back or she'll not get the message

Since I always forget can't be stuffed then what time is it there? I'm guessing very early morning if still dark?

I was going to say exactly what others have.
A) put the bins back
B) watch and wait
C) film her waddling while she tries to move said bins (and bricks about to pop in them?) and upload it so we all get a front row seat

Next plan is to borrow your mums car or a friends car, park in your space and wait for her to block you in. Then at about 2am knock on her door and ask her to move. Repeat until she gets the message.

or do a fake scratch(es) all over her car and then leave this note

Power to the people.you go girl

Could you not contact your local PCSO and report her anti-social behaviour?

Could you just get a neighbour to park in your space behind her (when her cars not there obviously) and then another one to park in front of her.

Obviously you'd need all neighbours to be on board with this as you'd be bLocking more in...

They may find it is less inconvenient to just go out and swap their cars round each morning, like they should do, rather than have to go out and move a barricade each morning. I would ask the other people in the flats to leave their bins out over the next week and barricade her in every time she parks there.

You should definitely do the windscreen wiper vaseline because, you know, major road accidents are just so hilarious. Fuck sake, what kind of ridiculous suggestion is that?

Encourage your neighbours to drive up close to her car and block her in...?

I bet the poor local pigeons are very hungry at the moment, in this icy weather. Poor things probably need some bird seed scattered in a sheltered spot (like maybe all around those bins/on any adjacent car roofs). Just hope all the naughty pigeons don't eat too much and do too many car paint corroding poos.

This^ Pigeons particularly like wheat so the cheaper the bird food the better...

FlyingElbows - that's why you also put the note on the window. It doesn't cause an accident, it causes the driver a massive amount of inconvenience because they clean it off first. Of course you'd never do it without the note - but they don't know that. So they've got the hassle of checking every single time. And occasionally you put the note on without the Vaseline.
