to have parked 1 inch from the mini thats been parked outside my house since just after 9am?

[charliecat]

Its becoming a regular thing this mini parking outside my house, ALL DAY..so ive jammed it in. So that im not hanging over next doors dropped kerb, but im still outside my house not half way up the street annoying some other resident.
Am I being unreasonable?
I know I dont own the road but
Would you be?

DOh, typo. Obviously "reasonable" to be annoyed if someone blocks your driveway.

Ok, I see by the majority I was being unreasonable, but the bloke in the mini has parked elesewhere.
Not sure if anyone rea that this was getting to be EVERY day, ALL day.
Anyway..Think I may invest in some of these for a laugh

Oh, I like them!

My dad would love this thread, he takes it as a personal insult if anyone parks in front of their house (to put it in context, my parents live on a main road that is mainly double yellows, there are four parking spaces in front of their house and the neighbours. My parents have 2 cars, but they also have a driveway). He is constantly hanging over the front gate glowering at people who dare to park in 'his' spaces, it drives my mum mad and has made him a standing joke in the neighbourhood, but at 78 he's unlikely to change his ways...

What hacks me off is people parking over our driveway blocking me in when there are perfectly good parking spots outside the house next door. One time two girls were just sitting there, there was an empty parking space right in front of them, so I went out and asked them why they were parked there (on a yellow line). They looked at me like I was an idiot and asked if I wanted to get out.

When I said no, but I would need to in half an hour or so and if they were to inch forward by 2 metres or so they would be parked legally and in no-one's way, they just gave me a blank, gum-chewing look and continued to sit there. Actually I didn't need to go out, but it wound me up that if there'd been an emergency I'd have had to waste time getting them to move their inconsiderate arses! So I came out ten minutes later and started revving the engine...

But although it annoyed me when I couldn't park outside our house pre-drive, it would never have made me block someone in. That's just as inconsiderate.
