It's a parking one!!

[NCforThisO1]

So we live in a relatively new build which has 6 designated spaces (think 1A, 1B, 1C and so on)

I'm not long back and there is a car in my space, so I parked in the one next to me. The next door neighbour came out and asked me to move as her husband is due back soon.
But move where!!

AIBU?

@my2bundles. If the Op us in Scotland , the jaw is different. I was in our local Tesco just after 7.30 this morning !
OP - move your car .

Well my one is open 8 to 8 😊
Well the same thing still applies I have a car seat and toddler and other child to keep an eye on.
I don't have a carrier or pram with me right now so can't use that

That’s brilliant PotsOfJoy. I can really envision OP like that. 🤣

• law not jaw !

Avoiding the obvious hypocrisy here op you really need to move your car but could you park in one of the other 4 empty spaces?
You don't have to leave your children while you walk 7 minutes then. I know you risk the owners of those spaces coming back and being annoyed but your neighbour is currently annoyed. There is every chance whoever is in your space will have gone before new potentially annoyed person comes back and you can then move your car into your space.

Not your neighbours problem move the car.

Move your car, people Sunday trading laws do not apply to Scotland we can have stores open 24 hours up here.

A prime example of why not everyone should be allowed to have kids.

I dont think I have ever told someone they are BU.... but yer, you're BU! You should move your car. It's the decent thing to do. It's not your NDN fault someone has stolen your space!

Op is most likely in Scotland which doesn’t have the silly Sunday trading laws that England does.

Anyway, let me get this straight.
Someone parked in your space which was wrong and pissed you off.
You then parked in someone else’s space as a result.
This pissed them off and they asked you not to park in their space.
You think they are wrong.

Do you not get why they are pissed off?
Also, what about visitor parking or what do two car households do?

A prime example of why not everyone should be allowed to have kids.

Or a driving license.

Karma is a bitch OP and the one time you need help from your neighbour I hope they tell you to fuck right off

OP you are massively in the wrong. Hope that helps.

I understand she may be annoyed but her husband still isn't back, I honestly do not see the harm.

I would give your mobile phone number to the neighbour where you have parked so when her DH arrives you could move your car.

She came to you, knocked, politely (or otherwise) asked you to move out of her property. And you said no.
You are a twat.

So much froth 😂
She said hours ago he was coming back soon, I took that to meant in the next hour, I even said well if she or he come to my door I'll move the car but for now I'm parking there.
He still isn't back. So right now there's no reason for her to be annoyed she doesn't drive so it's not like she is needing to put her car into the space.

I’m sure the person who parked in your space “didn’t see the harm”. Where’s that nomination form for the Darwin awards?!

How can't you see you're no different to the person who has parked in your space. In fact your worse as the owner of the space has politely asked you to move and you haven't.

Why did you have to bring the car seat in?

I understand she may be annoyed but her husband still isn't back, I honestly do not see the harm.

It’s her space. It doesn’t matter if she wants to sit there and stare at the tarmac. Her space isn’t a free for all just as much as yours is.

OP: “I understand she may be annoyed but her husband still isn't back, I honestly do not see the harm.”

Person who parked in your space: “I understand she may be annoyed but [she] still isn't back, I honestly do not see the harm.”

I understand she may be annoyed but her husband still isn't back, I honestly do not see the harm.

The person parked in your space doesn’t know you or when you’d be back, so they probably “don’t see the harm” either. You are being very unreasonable and hypocritical. You’re free to be annoyed someone stole your space, but unreasonable to think someone should not be annoyed with you for stealing their space. Move your damn car.

The thing is, even if you can't see the harm, your neighbour is going to be really annoyed if you haven't moved your car after she asked you to do so. Is it worth falling out with her about this?

This reminds me of when we bought our house. We'd agreed a price, based on the asking price, but the survey came back having uncovered a number of issues which meant that their house was worth considerably less than they'd thought - and the mortgage company wouldn't lend any more than that.

The man of the selling couple was very angry at this (understandable), but his instant solution was that the owner of the house that they were buying (and they were actually moving to a cheaper house) would obviously have to take a lower price from them and bear the entire perceived loss herself - and he would therefore go and 'inform' her of this (he was quite a rough, imposing sort).

Yes, he had believed that his house was worth £XXXXX. He discovered that it was actually only worth £XXXX, so he would get £X less for it than he'd hoped. He had seen the whole amount as rightfully his, so he fully believed that a stranger, whose house was worth what had been expected, should be automatically expected to sell her house for £X less so that he could still effectively get the very over-optimistic hoped-for value of his own house.
