To park of neighbour's drive

[Margyseries]

I went to my parent's house today for my dad's birthday. The road has spaces on it but these were all taken up and my parent's drive was full with their cars. The other spaces on the road need a permit and I didn't want to risk getting a ticket.
My parent's drive is next to our neighbour's who watched me grow up from a child to a woman. I quickly pulled onto her drive to run in and grab a permit pass to park on the road.
I was on the neighbour's drive for under a minute.
The neighbour wasn't going anywhere but she came out to say something to which I responded "I'm so sorry I'm moving" and my parents had a huge go at me for this and my mum sent the woman an apology text.

It really got to me. I don't see an issue with it in the slightest as I thought we were neighbourly - she knows who I am and it was literally for 30 seconds.

I now feel so upset by the reaction. I usually go out my way to help and assist others. Would you be this angry in the same situation?

It wouldn't have bothered me. Neighbour knew who you were, you were there for less than a minute. Carry on with your day! Obviously can bother some people though so best not to do it again - unless you know the drive owner and their driveway policy.

Oh, ffs. So you're cross with your parents and the neighbours clearly didn't have a problem with it once they realised it was you. Go whinge to your mum and dad instead of implying you have unreasonable neighbours.

You were a CF and your drip feeds don't change that fact.

She shouldn't be concerned and should respect that we have been so neighbourly to her

No idea what the fuck that's supposed to mean. Is she supposed to be grateful that you parked on her drive?

Since you have admitted that the neighbour asks their friends and family to move if they park on your drive, I should imagine your parents apologised for your behaviour to be polite and to try to be as neighbourly as they have been to you, OP.

We don't have a car, and At least every two or three months I get CF strangers parking in my drive and watch them go in the direction of the local high street, after looking at the house to check if anyone appears in. Letting down a car tyre seems to get the message across...

It's not hard to just be a decent human.

EXACTLY. this is what you should repeat to yourself daily op, until you manage it.

Bloody hell! Isn't life just too short?

Private property is private property. You were extremely cheeky!!!

^where do I even begin with this statement?!
You shouldn’t have parked on there even for 30 seconds- it’s not yours, not your parents’ so you can do the whole ‘oh no but it was only for a minute’ all you want but that doesn’t make it right

From a child to a woman.

Besides being a revolting turn of phrase. What does that have to do with anything?

Thank you woodentoykitchen,,I thought it was just me! It's awful isn't it. 😱

So you were a tiny bit cheeky to pull in, which you acknowledged when she was there, she didn’t say anything about it to you, either positive or negative, but your Mum massively overreacted at you?

Is that about it?

Bluntness, it's the sort of phrase along with "ladies" that I expect to see deleted

She shouldn't be concerned and should respect that we have been so neighbourly to her.

What does this even mean? She should respect that you’ve been neighbourly? What??

So she didn’t actually say anything to you at all. Like, nothing?

Also - her friends sometime park on your parents’ drive, which has what to do with you exactly?

Are you this dramatic about every non-event in your life? Because it must be exhausting.

Really not the same thing as your neighbours' adult child pulling in for a minute then moving their car.
