Parking Thread over here

[StarsShineBrightly]

So this has been ongoing but tonight it's ridiculous.

We do not have OSP so have to park on the public road. Only us and NDN don't have a driveway. Generally there is enough space for us all to park outside, providing everyone is reasonable.

NDN seems to think she owns the road outside her house, all of it. Someone random parked outside so we moved our cars up a bit. NDN still had more than enough space, but is obviously unhappy that we have veered into her "space". We haven't moved it back because haven't used that car, she has sufficient space and we have a life.

She has parked nose to nose with me. She's always parked close but she is almost touching our car.

Tempted to leave car there until next week now.

I'd probably just leave my car there if I didn't need to use it and when she asks about it, explain to her that you have to park where there is a space available, not where you'd ideally want to as sadly the council won't let you buy the road!

I think she thinks she does own the road. DH wants to move it forward a few inches when she's gone out. I think we should just leave it so it looks like we're not bothered.

We don't have off road parking but we live on a quiet residential street and everyone else has drives apart from us and NDN.

We have an unwritten rule that we each leave the bits of road in front of our houses free. We have two cars, they have one. They still park nose to nose to our cars though, even they have space for two cars. It's quite petty.

Are you my NDN?

Where's the diagram?

I felt like doing this to someone that parked outside my house the other day.

The whole street could be empty and 1 car wanting to park and they choose to park directly outside our house. Fuck knows why, and it's a real thing because DP has noticed it too.

I don't know why but it just makes me irrationally angry when people park there. They know we live there, there is a whole street to park in (after 6) so why do it?

I also know we don't own the road but there are only 2 houses on our side that have cars, so why don't the people from the other side park outside the houses that don't have cars?

I don't think so I can't we have two cars. She parks on the boundary line if she can, and will park over it if she's annoyed with us. If we park on the boundary line she gets close. Semi-detached house, i mean the imaginary line between the houses if that was extended down the road.

If she's there first we don't park close, just a normal distance away. I only have to get close if I'm parallel parking between her car and our other car and she doesn't leave us much space. She has been known to move her car to prevent us from parking both cars.

Eliza she has more than enough room for her car, there's about 3ft of space behind her.
