ridiculous parking from neighbour

[pinklemonade84]

I’m beyond fed up of this parking situation. This is our situation tonight. Dh is due back from work in about 20 minutes and because of this ridiculous parking from neighbour’s dd, won’t be able to park our Citroen Picasso (not a small car)

We’ve lived here for over a year now and had no problems parking. Last month we had neighbours move in next door and their daughter is absolutely horrific at parking, to the extent where I’ve had to climb over the passenger seat to get into the drover’s seat

They also let their dog out at stupid o clock morning and night and it immediately starts barking!

There’s not even anything we can do as they ignore the door when we knock. They own their house and we rent through a housing association, so there’s not even a landlord we could ask to have a word.

Xenia But you’re meant to park WITHIN the lines.. not on them!

A Picasso is the same size as a normal car, just higher

If your Dh cannot Park because someone did what was in your photo then he needs more lessons.

Irrespective of the lines, that is shoddy parking, shows no pride in the drivers ability to control their vehicle

I have to say I hate parking and have no pride in it whatsoever. I do care about not inconveniencing other people so would try to straighten up as a courtesy. This parking comes under the category of not very considerate but within the rules.

I can relate to this! YANBU IMHO.

This week we have moved into our flat. Each flat has one space in a small car park behind the block. A few times, our neighbour has parked too close to our space and we have ejected the front passenger before parking. Luckily we are on the end and on the drivers side there's a small bushed area to step through. Not ideal, but the spaces aren't huge.

We have a Vauxhall Zafira, it's not huge but isn't a Ford Fiesta either.

They're the kind of spaces which require each user to park considerately.

Why would your daughter have to climb over a seat if he parked nose in? Surely she would just get in the back door on the drivers side, where there would be plenty of room for the driver and for your nice neighbour?

Thinking about it you would actually get minors on your driving test for not parking within the lines... so yeah it for sure is poor parking on her part.

@HappilyHarridan her car seat is on the passenger side as if either of us take her out on our own, we need to be able to take a quick peek back at her if she makes a weird sound because of her epilepsy. So if dh did park in nose first, then she would have had to climb across the back seats to get to her car seat

@TopBitchoftheWitches try reading the full thread. We live on a new build estate where the spaces are small. So, if ndn dd parks too close like in the picture then we can’t get access to the driver’s side properly.

Dh isn’t the one who needs extra lessons as he parks in the middle of our space every single time to make sure that he isn’t being an inconvenience to the neighbours

Oh I thought you meant she’d have to climb from the front to the back, surely shuffling from one side of the backseat to the other isn’t a big deal? I don’t think I would describe it as a climb!

I don't get how you are having to climb over the passenger seat (and car seat!!!) and find that easier than going nose in and getting toddler to go across the front driver seat to the passenger seat? Surely the latter is pretty easy. In goes dd first through the driver door and shuffles to passenger seat/car seat and then in you go in your seat and buckle her in. Simples.

It really isn't PA to park close to the inconsiderate 'parker', it's just common sense to ensure you have space getting out...

YANBU OP. Your ndn is parking extremely discourteously and those posters saying there's nothing wrong with her parking probably park in the same selfish manner.

I hope she's a decent human being and once you've had chance to explain to them about your epileptic child and the problems getting her in and out, she'll stop parking like a twat.

I'm amazed at these responses. YANBU at all op. It's really selfish and inconsiderate to park like that . When spaces are tight its really mean spirited to say it's ok because it's in the lines. Its not ok at all

@INeedanInterestingUsername PLEEEEEASE start a thread about this! You need MN to help you exact revenge!! X

God, everyone is being really narky on this thread! That is shocking parking, and the sort that pisses me right off when I park in a car park, and come back to find someone parked next to me like that, making it really difficult to get back in. No wonder it happens so frequently when so many of you think it’s fine! OP, YANBU! If this is a new build those spaces will likely be pretty narrow, and it does rely on everyone being considerate. This is certainly not considerate, and I bet the majority of posters would actually be pretty pissed off to have to put up with that every time they get home.

What does op mean????

@carly46 OP means Original Poster - the person who started the thread.

BringOnTheScience Thanks I never understand these letter words

It's shitty parking but she is also in her space so it is what it is. Personally if I was renting but my neighbours owned their house, I wouldn't want to start a bit of an issue with them, just in case they are the type to find things to complain to your LL about.
