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.

Did he seem to accept this, OP? And why does he do it? What a fucking wanker!

YABU because this is clearly a parking thread and you haven't even given us a diagram Grin

LunafortJest · 10/03/2019 18:51

But how did the husband react? Was he incredulous, angry, quiet, sheepish, what?

RhymingRabbit · 10/03/2019 18:53

@blockedoffandfuckedoff You NEED to ….. this is a parking thread. There will be a riot if we don't get one. Just scribble on the back of an envelope the general set up of your cul de and where the dickhead is parking but you will get extra props if you use a highlighter or for extra details like a neighbour's tortoise or wee sammie's bike. Take a pic on your phone and upload. If you can stand up to dickhead neighbour you can do a diagram.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 10/03/2019 18:54

It’s don’t understand why he didn’t park over his drive but on yours?

Are they still having work done, is that why?

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 10/03/2019 18:54

Ah sorry! He is a bit of a shrug and grunt kind of guy. He just kind of mumbled an apology.

He’s not the type of guy to give a big reaction

From past experience, the council turn up very quickly to tow such vehicles

Holidayshopping · 10/03/2019 19:15

Why do they keep doing it!? Couldn’t he park across his own driveway?
