Parking and shitty neighbours

[Blushingm]

Now I live on a normal rd. each house has a lay-by with their house number painted which allows parking for one car.

I got home and parked on the road by my space leaving my space empty as my brother was popping over with his kids. My house has 1 car. House opposite has 4 cars. Their daughter came home swearing I was in her spot and that she was going to piss me off so she purposely parked blocking my owned space.
I knocked and asked the mum if she could ask her daughter to move her car - was met with how hard the daughter works and that I'm inconsiderate as the daughter always parks there and I was parked where she usually does. For reference there was space on the other side of the road for about 5 cars or further down a little 5 seconds from their house.

WIBU to ask her to move?

You need a diagram. Its the rules. Plus I'm confused by your description x

Why couldn’t your brother park in the other available spaces?

It’s a bit of you both being unreasonable. Outside of your assigned spaces no one has a right to any space and she was being a dick for how she treated you.
However you should park in your assigned space.

Where is the diagram??? Don't you know that diagrams of parking issues are almost compulsory on MN??

No, if she was blocking your spot then you WNBU to ask her to move.

Did you suggest that she move her car to the spaces 5 seconds away from her house when she was moving her car??

I would have parked in your space rather than "saving" it for your brother. If your brother had parked in the daughter's "space" I would have said tough luck you don't own the road or that space. Personally I would have not asked her to move but the family do sound annoying and entitled.

There is no way you’re even slightly in the wrong. Your neighbours should count themselves lucky that you only have one car and that they usually get the pick of the street parking for their four cars.

Yanbu at all. They sound like wankers

Go out and take pictures of their car

well you know... if there is no diagram then you are totally and completely unreasonable!

She’s obviously BU, but from her point of view she always parks in the same spot... and then she comes home to you parked in her spot when your own is empty and you could have parked in various other spots that she doesn’t park in. Some of my neighbours all park in the exact same spot every day (all on street random parking here), I wouldn’t park in ‘their’ spots if I could park elsewhere, it’s just being considerate. But obviously if my guest parked in their spot that’s fair game really because they wouldn’t no that neighbour always parks there. So maybe she felt you could do with being more considerate? Hard to say without knowing any of you

They are wankers.

Just because someone always parks in a spot doesn't men it's theirs. OP's spot however is hers so the daughter can fuck off.

And honestly, people need a diagram for this?

I can't believe people think you're unreasonable, your neighbours are ridiculous.

I think you were being a bit unreasonable not to park in your own parking space and to take a spot that your neighbour uses every day. Assuming you haven't missed out information such as your brother having a disability he could have used one of the other spaces when he arrived. You have a space so you should only be using the road once it's occupied, or if your brother needed your space it would have been considerate for you to make sure you parked somewhere that wasn't routinely used by your neighbours. Just because technically nobody owns the space doesn't mean you have to be a dick about it and park in the place you know your neighbour parks every day when there were clearly other spaces available for you to use.

That said obviously your neighbour was being unreasonable to then block your space and for trying to get into a petty tit for tat battle with you.

Next time park in your designated space. When/if your brother arrives he can find his own parking space, unless you are going to drop feed a disability that means he can't walk.

If you live on a "normal" road then you know that saving parking places is the height of cfuckery. Your neighbours sound like idiots for having so many cars and nowhere to park them but no need for you to join them on the cf bench.

I think you should have just parked in your spot to be honest

YANBU

how hard her dd works ? well that's very commendable but it seems your db has started the problem,you've added to it now the neighbours are being twats,it's a wonder the dd isn't outside crying about it and the local rag hasn't turned up.
it's lot of drama over nothing.

I think your neighbors are rude. I can only imagine the sense of entitlement they've instilled in their princess lol. Yanbu

Chard they don't need a diagram, it's the standing mn joke with parking threads.are you new on here or just being awkward ?

No diagram required. That stupid "rule" always annoys me when it's not necessary.

They're a bit unreasonable to park in your space but if there is plenty of other parking it's not really a big deal. Your brother can park in one of the 5 available spaces can't he.

Have no truck with this nonsense OP. Get out there and piss all over the NDN’s car and your parking space. You are only marking your territory after all. Better still, employ CuntyThighMaidz4U to do the job for you. They have teams of experts who deal with this type of thing on a daily basis. They have machetes and all sorts of other exciting weapons, and they know how to use them.

bean it's not a rule,it's a joke and a light hearted one ffs, anyone who thinks it's a rule and serious really need to have a word with themselves

She’s BU, but you can’t argue with stupid.

Your mistake was to not park in your bay and let your visitor park wherever they could.

yo i've met my people i wanna be a cuntythighmaiden

I’m not new and I’m not awkward, but quite frankly the joke with the diagram was vaguely funny the first time, and it’s wearing thin now it been repeated millions of times.
