This same car parks outside my house every day on the school run. They park on the pavement to the point that she is less than a foot away from my house, I can barely get out of my front door (I had to take my shopping round the back), and people have to either walk around the car or cross the road to get past. I'm fed up. I've parked so close to the back of her car that she can't get out. She knows it's my car as she sees me in it in the mornings and I've spoken to her briefly out of the window sometimes. Waiting for her to knock my door to ask me to move.

I don't mind people parking outside the house. It doesn't bother me in the slightest. But across the whole pavement so I can't get out my front door? DP left a note on her car before but it clearly meant absolutely nothing.

AIBU to have blocked her in to prove a point (that it's not nice when you are denied access due to someone else being selfish)? Or am I too petty for my own good?

Is she back yet op?

Shocking OP my Dad lives by a school and gets this regularly he is 74 and has a disability I find the parents don't give a flying duck. Can I suggest if you are worried she may damage your car etc you get a CCTV sign (obviously if you can afford cctv camera or in car camera all the better but my guess with a baby coming shortly you have better things to buy!). The sign maybe enough to put her off - you need only display it for a short time or when you know she parks there ie mornings/afternoons- get one with very very large writing.

Did she return today Elderflower?

Block her in every time she does it.

What a nightmare.

I am constantly amazed at the entitledness of parents on the school run.

You can't park infront of entrance to the property like this! It's a hazard for occupants.
YANBU! Keep her blocked as long as you can

Wetwashing00 · 28/06/2018 13:56

Totally agree, I would continue to block her in every time she parks like that.
Maybe take your time and finish your cuppa/lunch/use the loo before you move your car in future.

If she gives you attitude again then you should start logging it with 101 non emergency.

I called the police recently about an abandoned lorry which was parked partly on the pavement, I was asked if it was actually blocking anything, I replied that it wasn't. She said had it been blocking the pavement they would come out and get it removed. I would certainly telephone the police OP.

MadRainbow · 28/06/2018 14:28

Wondering if she returns today.

Windmillsinsummer · 28/06/2018 14:36

If she returns block her in when ahe knocks say you can't get out of the house with her car parked there then close door.

DianaPrincessOfThemyscira · 28/06/2018 14:39

What a cow. If her car’s only a mini she’s basically almost completely on the pavement Confused

LighthouseSouth · 28/06/2018 14:49

OP so she vanished last night and you didn't see her?

Troels · 28/06/2018 14:53

What happened?
Maybe she saw you'd blocked her in and walked home thinking she's come back when you were out.

I could see the photo every time it was posted and I didn't even know there was an MN app.
