Another parking one guys! So for background, i live in a very busy road. There are not nearly enough spaces for the amount of cars. Mostly down to alot of driveways and quite a few dissabillity bays. 3 Very close to me. (Just so that you know, I have no issues with people having dissabillity bays). I don't have a drive. And have never had any issues with any neighbour's.
I don't expect to be able to park in front of my house all the time. And often can't. Everyone tries to be thoughtful with parking. Except one! Across the road, a neighbour with a dissabillity bay is such a pain. When his wife leaves for work, he pulls out of the bay and parks on the street. Often in front of my house as I'm on the school run at the time, until his wife gets home, she bibs, he comes and pulls back into disability bay, so she has space to park. Ive ignored this for 3 years.
So ive not long had back surgury, in quite a bit of pain, so parking has been getting to me lately. I don't get my shopping deliverd as have 2 children with severe food allergies and literally need to read everything I buy. Husband's away for work. So get back today with my shopping, neighbour is looking in his boot, parked in front of my house. Nearest space is 6 houses down. Need to carry alot of shopping, still unable to lift much, and have two young children. I stop and explain situation to neighbour, ask if he can please park in his bay so that I can unload car. He told me to fuck off. I'm not intimidated. I tell him he is being very selfish, to this he calls me an entitled bitch. Other neighbour hears this and tells me I can park over her drive while I unload my car. Very grateful.
This evening ive just had the police knock my door. I explained all to the police, they completly took my neighbours side and told me I sound very anti disability!!!
. Basically made me feel like I was being very childish, arguing over parking. I told them I didn't raise my voice, use any bad language, and was polite until I was called names. They told me my neighbour now feels to scared to leave his house. SERIOUSLY!!! I can't belive it. They told me if I have to park 6 houses away then I need to suck it up.
Now I'm confused. Who was being unreasonable? Police think it's me. I feel like asking one time, when he has a perfectly good space to park in isn't that bad. Is it?
