Obviously I wouldn't trust any other group of people to help out with a parking thread,I am however posting on behalf of my DM. I understand rule of thumb is that a diagram must be posted so I've added one.
The jist is....DM's NDN keeps parking in bay 1 which is right next to her living room window and in front of her garden gate. She is a nervous 60+ and finds the car lights at night disturbing, not to mention the fact that the car blocks her gate, they occasionally open the car door too wide which bangs the wall. During the day they park half up the path/road directly outside their house then move the car in the evening. She asked them when they first moved in if they could park in bay 2 as bay 1 belonged to her. Their response was 'why should we? You don't own a car, so what's the problem?'
DM then explained about the lights, gate, banging etc to then be told that there is a muddy puddle right under the car door and that their kids end up
Stepping in it and ruining their shoes. DM got defensive and a bit arsey that they didn't respond the way she hoped and said they should be more worried about their children breathing in their smoke whilst in the car (she spies on them, nosey old lady don't judge lol)
It's got to the point now that DM drags her bin down the side of the path right up against their car hoping it will cause damage and deter them and they glare at her sometimes muttering things under their breath. She has now asked me to say something.
