Parking one wiu?

[Mrbluethecatt]

My next door neighbours drive is directly adjacent to ours. NDN's DS has his GF over and she sometimes parks a bit across our drive. This doesn't bother me as when I ask her to move it it gets moved.

Today I needed to go out (12noonish) so asked them to move the car. GF says it has broke down that it died last night. I said have you called the AA. Not yet I was told we have just got up.

I said I needed out so can she get the car pushed to unblock the drive. She started faffing about umming and ahhing. I said to NDN DS that he could push it and joking told him to get his shoes on.

10 minutes later the car hadn't been moved so I popped into my other neighbour and asked if he and his DS could help push a car. They agreed. I then knocked on NDN door and the GF answered. I asked had they called the AA and told her the car needed moved. She hadn't called the AA as her was having breakfast and the BF was showering.

I say well it needs moved, jump in the driver's seat and we'll move it. I must admit I was a bit annoyed by this stage. Two minutes later the car was pushed to block NDN drive.

I then went out. When I came back there was a note from NDN's DS saying I can upset GF and needed to apologise.

So was wibu to make her move the car and should I be apologising or would ibu to wait until NDN is back and have a word. Needless to say anytime the GF blocks the drive in the future I will be straight out even if we don't need out.

NDN's DS is 26 and GF is 25 with 3 kids.

What on earth does reductive mean?

You should have gone round and said "I'm here for my apology... Where you apologise for repeatedly blocking my drive and inconveniencing me."

to your NDN

According to google
reductive
rɪˈdʌktɪv/
adjective
1.
tending to present a subject or problem in a simplified form, especially one viewed as crude.
"such a conclusion by itself would be reductive"
2.
relating to chemical reduction.
"the reductive elimination of acetyl reductive
rɪˈdʌktɪv/
adjective
1.
tending to present a subject or problem in a simplified form, especially one viewed as crude.
"such a conclusion by itself would be reductive"
2.
relating to chemical reduction.
"the reductive elimination of acetyl iodide"

So OP which were you doing being crude or playing with chemicals 😉

Sorry no idea why the definition is there twice 😳😳😳

Good lord I've just seen their ages. I assumed from your update they were teenagers

Your NDN is awesome!

Make sure you make the girlfriend move every single time that she attempts to park in front of your drive.

Or better yet, inform the police that you are being blocked in and due to unreasonable behaviour from this pair of lazy teenage-acting eejits, you are unwilling, no, unable to approach them yourself.

It must of been my thigh rubbing at men pushing the car or my garden nuclear reactor. Oops.🔬

Oh good lord! What on earth is there to be upset about?!! You needed to go out, she was blocking your drive.... it was as simple as that.

They probably heard Madonna say it and thought it sounded cool!

Ah algebraic, you've fallen into the trap of being reductive. Of course it wasn't that simple. You need to include in your calculations, the need of NDNS to look good in front of his girlfriend, her need to sleep in until all hours, her overwhelming sense of entitlement.... To fail to consider all this and simply assume OP is in the right is clearly reductive.
HTH.

sounds as though your lovely NDN has also fallen foul of Little Miss Emotionally Violated. I bet she did something passive aggressive like asking her to put dirty cups in the dishwasher when LMEV had already carried them all the way to the kitchen and left them on the table. or maybe she was nastily reductive and mentioned how inconvenient it is if house guests slop around in their onesies all morning making the place look like a flop house.

Love your NDN

Haha you are right picklemepopcorn how dare I trivialise her obvious emotional distress.

Honestly though, how does she get through the day...

Well done NDN. Sounds like she's sick of the pair of them.

Haha i love your NDN. She sounds quite grounded and level headed.

Complete nut job,
I'd be asking her to park in front of her own drive in future!

What did you say in response to the GF and son's bollocks?

Your NDN is fab! Bet she's just hoping her DS isn't the father to number 4

What a stupid self centred little cow

Every single time she parks there in future tell her to move it. Every. Time.
