Neighbour is having a big extension built and we accepted there would be a fair bit of disruption. We have to drive over their drive to get to ours (odd cul de sac corner arrangement) so technically they are not supposed to block our drive. With the work it's hard for them not to so we have not complained. However they have got seemingly more pissed off with us. We've asked them to move in the morning a number of times so we can get our car out - they can see the car is there so it's bizarre this request surprises them.
We asked if they know it'll be blocked to give us a heads up and we'll park accordingly (other end of the road so not ideal with 3 dc). This heads up has come at 7am as in "you need to move your car now" and then they were annoyed I insisted I got dressed first (was in my nightdress!).
Today dh popped home for lunch and drive was blocked but they had the cement mixer set up in the centre of our driveway (cement now splattered up front window!) and the scaffolding was also on our driveway pushed up against our front wall. Dh has a word and they insisted they'd move it in a minute. Dh had to return home 2 hours later and it was still there. When Dh spoke to builders the neighbour came out rolled her eyes at Dh and then blanked him speaking to the builder about something unconnected.
We've not complained and only politely asked for them not to use our drive without asking! I'm so done with being nice. Am I really supposed to put up with this?
