Using NDNs dropped curb

[Cleo2628]

Our NDN have a dropped curb but we do not. We’ve enquire but it will be near £1000 which we can’t afford. We moved here last June, and in some notes about the house the previous owner said that she used to neighbors dropped curb to get onto our drive, so we have done the same. Our neighbour had started doing very passive aggresics things eg. blocking my car in with his wheelie bin, parking very far back so we can barely get onto our drive, standing in his porch and watching us reverse off the drive etc. We don’t go onto his drive at all whilst using the dropped curb. I don’t want to annoy anyone but we just use the dropped curb, over the pavement and straight onto our drive. AIBU?

Sorry for spelling errors!!

YABU. Pay your way. That IS annoying

I think YABU as the ndn is obviously not happy about it. The notes about previous owner using it might not even be true. Why should they pay a grand and you don't. You'll have to speak to them. I think they've made their feelings clear and you're now being cheeky.

If I were your NDN, I'd be pretty miffed if you merrily used my drive to access yours without first having had a conversation and asked if I minded.

I think I have read about a similar situation before and it could be because of the wear and tear it could cause over time. I think your NDN would have to pay for any repairs.

I could be completely wrong

YABU.

Pay your way and get it dropped.

Could we have a lovely diagram please :-)

So you don’t have a drive way. You have a useless paved front yard. Hope you didn’t pay a premium for ‘off street parking’.

Stop using your NdN dropped kerb. Can’t belive you didn’t even ask and just started using it!

Diagram needed

I think they’ve made their feelings clear too. The previous owner might have been driving them nuts for years and now you’re potentially doing the same.

You're using something that you haven't paid for.

You should have checked with the neighbour rather than relying on notes from the previous owner.

YABU

Are you BU? You honestly have to ask???
Pay for your own drop kerb. No one likes a free loader. Jeez you didn't even ask them if they'd mind.

I’ve only been on MN for a short time but I do know you’ll be asked for a diagram!!
Why don’t you just go and talk to your NDN and explain why you want to use his dropped curb?

If you don't have a dropped curb, then you don't have a drive...simple as.

I’m a very slow at typing 😊

I dont think its a drive unless it has a dropped kerb.

YABVU

I can’t afford a hot tub so I’m off to use Next door’s.

YABU pay for your own access.

YABU

what’s with the dropped kerb CFs on here tonight?!

Pay for your own dropped kerb ffs!

So to access your “drive” you have to go up your neighbours dropped curb then across the pavement?

That’s illegal. If you want to turn your garden into a drive get your own dropped curb.

You are being CF's. Pay for your own dropped kerb.

yabu. you don't have a drive.
park in the road until you can get one installed.

YABU, and a CF!

It's KERB.
CURB is a verb which means to curtail or nip in the bud.
OP - pay your way you skinflint.
