Parking ... aibu?

[melonposies12]

We all share spaces where we live as every two houses has three spaces outside plus there is a car park with four spaces round the corner. Recently one of our neighbours sons gf has taken to parking half on the pavement and half on the road.

I usually park around in the side car park because there’s not room outside the house usually. She has been told multiple times not to park there and it’s even opposite a dropped curb! Her car usually isn’t straight and it hangs out at an angle as well!

Today my mum could barely get my car past hers because of where she keeps parking !

Aibu to want her to park in the car park in a designated space and not block access off?

Is it just her that's been spoken to? I'd be tempted to go round when she's not there and talk to her BF's mum about it. Dob her in to the 'grown up' IYSWIM.

I feel your pain OP. We are currently suffering from an inconsiderate cow who is dating the (adult) son in the family opposite. Despite the fact they have a FOUR CAR drive (2 long/2 wide IYSWIM,) she ALWAYS parks on the road, at the foot of their driveway, which also happens to be directly opposite ours.

When she is here (2-3 hours at a time, four or five times a week,) we cannot get out of (or into) our drive - because she is blocking the access... So if she visits, and we need to go out (or if we are coming in,) we have to knock on the door and ask her to move the car. Several times DH has come in from work at half four in the afternoon, and has not been able to get in the drive, so he has to park 1-2 minutes walk away, and then put it on our driveway when she has left! He said he is done with knocking on the door now.

But he swears one day (soon) he is going to get someone else to park at the front of her car, and he will park at the back, and trap her in! (As someone suggested earlier in the thread.)

Maybe you should do that @melonposies12

Block her in. You need to cause her more inconvenience than if she parked correctly in the first place.

Block her in, then when she asks you to move tell her you won’t.

Deffo block her in. Maybe get your mum to do it when she calls around.

I wonder if a note with an embarrassing message might be one option- maybe 'those who are bad at parking are usually bad in the sack' or something better phrased.

Just the thought of this is riling me up 😂 Just go over there and let her know if her car isn’t moved and kept off the road where it is clearly causing an obstruction, you won’t be blamed for rear ending the thing.

Such an inconsiderate little fuck.

Are the spaces all shared or specifically owned? Is she unable to use an alternative?

Not that's right. We have the same where some houses have 2 spaces an 2 smaller ones only have one but are always rented out to people with two cars. So they park in the same manner (very similar layout!) and it makes it really hard to get in and out of my space at the back of the houses.
