to have finally snapped

DH and I live in a cul de and our neighbour has taken to blocking us in and out our driveway.

It started when they were having an extension built and they couldn’t park their two vehicles on their driveway. Now he’s started parking his transit van most of the time in a way that means we either can’t get in or off our driveway.

We’ve spoken to them multiple times and they’re always very apologetic but it keeps happening.
Drove into the street today and he’d fucking done it again.

I noticed their drive way was empty so I parked my car length ways across it. God I know IBU but I am so fed up of them blocking us in and out.

The wife came to the door and asked me to move off their driveway and I said of course I’d move....as soon as the van blocking us out ours is moved. She said she coundnt as her husband was out.

And I know I’m going to be flamed but I politely told her that I’d move it as soon as we have our driveway access back and closed the door.

The husband was suddenly home within 10 minutes Hmm and I explained to him that, without exception, every time he blocks us in or out I will be parking on his driveway.

God I am so bloody angry. I have two young kids and I can hardly use my bloody driveway so have to traipse them up the street after parking a good distance from the house.

I also told him that the next time he blocks me in I’ll be phoning the police and will not be going to his door.

Good for you!

And can we please stop the snapped and farted thing, it wasnt 'that' funny.

Bluntness100 · 10/03/2019 17:56

Thanks the investigator, I misread.

Op, hold firm to your word, every time he parks across yours you park across his, at rhe first opportunity. He's a dickhead.

IggyAce · 10/03/2019 17:57

Good for you OP.

ahtellthee · 10/03/2019 17:57

Too late with the snap and farted comment! @gamerchick YABU for saying we need to stop that

P.S. diagram or it didn't happen

blockedoffandfuckedoff · 10/03/2019 17:57

😂😂 hahahaha snapped and farted...I didn’t so maybe my anger levels were not as high as I thought.

Yes, I have a dropped kerb. He parked right across it!

I parked on their driveway but across it. Had to do a 40 point turn but my frustration got me there Grin

Good job

plominoagain · 10/03/2019 18:00

Well done. Done without heat or anger , just a demonstration of the consequences of their actions . They can’t really argue with that.

WhoGivesADamnForAFlakeyBandit · 10/03/2019 18:00

Good move!

YourEggnogIsBetterThanMine · 10/03/2019 18:01

Well done Grin

IHateUncleJamie · 10/03/2019 18:01

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 10/03/2019 18:03

Jaxhog · 10/03/2019 18:03

Full marks Op. You've clearly put the ball in his court.

emilybrontescorsett · 10/03/2019 18:03

Well done op.

Ikanon · 10/03/2019 18:05

Good move!

RhymingRabbit · 10/03/2019 18:05

But HOW were they blocking your driveway...diagram or it didn't happen doll.

PigletJohn · 10/03/2019 18:06

Well done

Orangecake123 · 10/03/2019 18:06

Well done OP!

chaoscategorised · 10/03/2019 18:07

'or it didn't happen doll'... Patronising much!

chaoscategorised · 10/03/2019 18:07

Well done OP. Currently engaging in a parking war with our opposite neighbours so I'm proud of you for fighting the good fight.

Aeroflotgirl · 10/03/2019 18:07

Good, you needed to do that. Funny how when the boot is on the other foot, they don't like it. It is illegal to block a driveway.

marathonwomanintraining · 10/03/2019 18:08

Yabu- for not doing a diagram Grin

Readytogogogo · 10/03/2019 18:09

Well done! Hope they've learnt their lesson.
