We live in a street where we have an allocated parking bay each, ours is thankfully right outside our house. There is room for five other cars in the parking bay and at some point one of the neighbours painted in white lines to divide the bay up.
Well the other day while coming back from the school run I notice the neighbours from over the road holding a tape measure - they are right outside our house, as I say they are not ND neighbours so I asked the husband (I'm a 'young' mum this couple are semi retired 60s-early 70s maybe) if I could help with anything. He then tells me that the parking bays (this couple moved in just over 2 years ago) have not been draw in fairly, and he and his wife are down by several inches. So - and his wife has now joined us _ I ask nicely "If you re-draw thje lines you will tell us won't you?' To which the wife tells me to 'shut up'. Thankfully I'm reasonable and also trained in soothing confrontation. I tell her that I can talk thank you and continue my conversation in a nice soothing manner. We end up having a chat and then I go indoors.The neighbours redraw the lines and nothing has changed they go over the old lines with an inch taken from the top on our side. I find it laughable, because they have given themselves an extra parking space outside their house. My mum has parked there when helping look after my DDs and the woman threatened her. They aslo threatened their NDN (a retired nurse - lovely lady) on the left when her dog barked (the dog was a puppy being trained) - the woman's wording sounded like she would do something to the dog. We've tried to get on with this couple but I wonder if they are showing slightly psychotic behaviour. Or AIBU!!!?
