It's a parking one!!

NCforThisO1 · 12/05/2019 09:45

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?

Happy to hear I cheered you up Grin @DownToTheSeaAgain, I hope your day improves. Flowers

floraloctopus · 12/05/2019 12:45

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

It is not your parking space, it is their parking space. When you are away on holiday can I come and use your house without your permission? After all you are not there so you don't need it.

m0therofdragons · 12/05/2019 12:45

Someone was a dick to you so you decided to be a dick too, congratulations Hmm

Oh and I have 3 dc and I'm pretty sure you don't get extra parking allowance. The fact you don't get that you've caused your neighbour unnecessary stress by parking in their spot shows complete lack of intelligence. Yes someone wronged you but you're managing to come across very poorly here.

my2bundles · 12/05/2019 12:45

You weren't using your space when someone parked in it. Yet you are annoyed. Double standards right there. Who are you to decide she has no reason to be annoyed? Who do you think you are deciding you can dictate how other people should feel?

Drogosnextwife · 12/05/2019 12:45

Why should they have to come to the door and ask you again? SHE DID COME AND ASK.

Hearthside · 12/05/2019 12:46

Just saying , i don't have a parking space , on street parking in a small village just enough for those us who live here.People get visitors then they often park outside my house .I have to park elsewhere at times virtually impossible and walk so not really an excuse for nicking your neighbour's spot there yabu.I would absolutely block them in i would have no issue doing that.But your neighbours spot that makes you as bad as the offender.

NorthernKnickers · 12/05/2019 12:46

Truly, truly one of THE most selfish OPs I think I've ever read on here...astonishing!

You are a complete and utter twat OP...I feel sad for your three children because you are their role model! What a selfish person you are! And clearly thick as shit...because you simply fail to understand that YOUR actions are so much worse than the actions of the person who parked in your space. 100s of people have tried to explain to you why and how your actions are wrong...yet you continue to argue that you are 'in the right'. This indicates such arrogance, it's beyond contempt.

You, OP, are a Class A Dick!

NoSauce · 12/05/2019 12:48

You’re just goading now OP.

Incidentally why did you NC?

my2bundles · 12/05/2019 12:48

I'm hoping tne person in your space stays over night. Might teach you that parking in others spaces is unacceptable. Also hoping when neighbours Dh gets home he gives you a much needed piece of his mind.

SauvignonBlanche · 12/05/2019 12:49

I’m beginning to hope this is a reverse but I’ll be fucking raging if it is.

I've just looked out the window and that car is gone now so I'll move mine shortly, stop the neighbour stressing 😂

SmallPinkBear · 12/05/2019 12:50

Why didn’t you just knock and ask if you could park there until your space was free? That way she wouldn’t think you were a CF?
My neighbours have told me that I am welcome to block them in if needs be but I always text to let them know and then move my car as soon as space becomes available

PettyContractor · 12/05/2019 12:55

Lots of people in such a hurry to deliver a kicking that they can't be bothered to work out the facts. What the OP is doing is not at all the same as what's been done to her. She isn't preventing anyone else from parking. Admittedly I would move if asked to, but I would also ask if I could stay in the space temporarily while it wasn't being used, something I would say yes to if I were her neighbour.

SauvignonBlanche · 12/05/2019 12:57

Far too rational, obviously. Hmm

NoSauce · 12/05/2019 13:00

She was parked in a space that wasn’t hers. If the H had come back he wouldn’t have been able to park there. Hmm

Nikhedonia · 12/05/2019 13:04

move in there shortly

FFS, move now! Confused

S1naidSucks · 12/05/2019 13:04

but I would also ask if I could stay in the space temporarily while it wasn't being used, something I would say yes to if I were her neighbour.

Difference is, OP didn’t ASK the neighbour, she TOLD her.

ReadMyLipss · 12/05/2019 13:06

So you didn't even go and ask them not to do it again??

Why?? They'll only do it again.

malmi · 12/05/2019 13:08

She isn't preventing anyone else from parking

By that logic, no one is stopping her from parking either...

SoupDragon · 12/05/2019 13:14

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.

You are absolutely as much of a CF as the person who parked in your space. Perhaps moreso as you definitely knew you should not be parked in the space.

SD1978 · 12/05/2019 13:19

Whilst you had an initial point, it's lost by now using another spot. They used yours when you weren't in, so you used someone else's, but reckon person one is at more fault than you who did the same thing. I'd block them in from the back- and tell neighbour whose spot you've blocked why and if it's ok.

DCDA · 12/05/2019 13:21

Managed not to actually catch the person parking in your space then. I’d have been camped out at the window.

Did you even put a note on their car?

BuggerOffAndGoodDayToYou · 12/05/2019 13:31

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

Well when the other person parked in YOUR space you weren’t back.... perfectly fine for them to use your space yes?

Seriously OP can you not understand that you are being even more of a CF than the person in your space? It is possible that they made a genuine error, you however KNOW you are parked I. Someone else’s allocated space!
