Parking anger aibu

[MsPotatoHead2]

This afternoon I came home with my children to find a car in my allocated space. I'd been at work and then the supermarket, plus with children I really needed to park and unload and get into my flat. So I parked immediately behind the wrongly parked car, looked around for the owner for a minute (didn't recognise the car), unloaded and went inside.

About ten minutes later I heard someone blasting their car horn. I ignored it as I was busy dishing the children their dinner and planned to go out and see if it was the person in my space.

Next thing an irate hammering on my door. The visitor to another flat was angry and telling me I was spiteful for blocking her in. I explained it's my allocated space and I couldn't take someone else's space or park in visitors as I had heavy bags (visitors 200m away).

She continued to call me spiteful and aggressive, however I carried my toddler downstairs and moved my car. There are signs stating the parking is allocated to residents. Wibu to have blocked her in?

YANBU. Who does that?! Allocated parking is sacred! SACRED!

I think if you take someone allocated space you run the risk of repercussions.

I don't think what you did was wrong at all.

I would have left a sign in my window saying “Back later” and let her stew a bit longer.

I've done that too, good for you. She should have grovelled not shouted at you, but she probably won't do it again.

Good for you!

She is awful.

Yanbu. If she has started shouting I would have told her I wasn't moving until she apologised and asked me nicely to move. And then walked away.

Personally i'd have shut the door in her face until she stopped being a prick. Don't park in someone else's space if you don't accept the consequences!

Yanbu. She should not have parked in your space.

Cheeky bitch!

You can't be that surprised by her anger. Move on though. She probably won't do it again.

Bet she won't do it again!

All she had to do was come and ask NICELY and I'm sure you would have moved ASAP!!!

Hopefully, she's learnt her lesson and won't do it again. I wouldn't have moved my car though until she'd calmed down and apologised for her nastiness. Sounds like she would probably have had along wait!!

'Spiteful and aggressive you say? Well how do you do - as well as parking in my space, you would be...?'

Cheeky Cow! (her, not you)
I would have done exactly the same.

YANBU. I probably wouldn't have done it but only because there are crazies out there and I'd be scared they'd damage my car out of spite.

My car is pretty old so unlikely she'd trouble herself to damage it 😁 she raised my blood pressure by being rude. It wasn't in my interest to have to block her in and then go out and move my car again. She seemed to think I should have used one of the empty spaces of another resident

You're right though, I don't think she will do it again

YANBU, OP. She was being a dick using your space.

I would of done the same as you tbh and I have done in the past when some cheeky fucker parked on the actual drive of my first house

What makes her think she can park in allocated parking spaces? If she wants to know what a dick looks like she only needs to look in the mirror!

Gold star for you OP 🌟

YANBU, the other person was wrong for using your reserved space.

For shouting at me I would have refused to move!

Cheeky fucker
