I just need to vent really.
My neighbours moved in around a year ago and had some renovations to do and a small extension so it has been bang bang, drilling since then (semi-detached). Fair enough, the guy did come round and introduce himself and let us know. Sometimes the banging would be at 10pm at night and early on a Sunday morning. Although this was annoying it didn't wake my, now, 2 year old so I said nothing.
At one point we were woken in the middle of the night by a guy in a mask testing for CO as their alarm had gone off. Again, not their fault. It was the wife who had called them as the husband was away and he came round a few days later to apologise. I assured him no need, better to be safe than sorry.
The road we live on is very narrow and it's extremely difficult to get off the drive if someone is parked at the bottom. Someone kept dumping a white car at the bottom of my drive. I had no idea who this was as it didn't seem to be any of my neighbours.
One morning as the car was being left there I went out and asked the person if he could please not park right at the bottom of my drive as it was making it difficult for me to get out. It was a polite request to move just a few feet. He moved his car much further down the street. I then noticed him getting into wife from next door's car. So essentially he was leaving his car there all day and getting a lift from her.
Because the husband had always been really polite I decided to go and speak to him that evening. I asked politely if his visitors could park outside his house rather than at the bottom of my drive as it made it difficult to get out. I was polite, I realise they are doing nothing illegal just inconsiderate (didn't say that to him).
He was a bit standoffish saying if there was nowhere else on the street to park they would park there. I explained that there were never any other cars on the street outside their house, only this white car outside mine at the bottom of the drive. Thought all was okay.
This was a few months ago. Now they ALL park at the bottom of my drive when they are visiting. Even if there is nobody parked outside their house. And if I ever tend to be outside or in a room that faces the road when they do they glare in.
Last night the black car visitor which tends to park at the bottom of my drive in the evenings after the white car has left and all weekend was parked outside their house. Late last night they moved the car to the bottom of my drive where it is still sitting now. There is nothing parked outside their house.
Why are they doing this? AIBU to be wound up by this? WWYD?
Sorry for massive post but didn't want to drip feed.
