My neighbours bought a house with a drive only big enough for one car.
A few months back they began taking down the garden wall between us so they could fit two on, before I pointed out it was actually my boundary and not theirs (they never fixed the wall, but that's a whole other unfinished thread).
As a result of that, they now park one on their drive, and one on the verge outside my house. Yes, possibly a reaction to me not letting them knock down the wall, but honestly it wouldn't have fit two anyway. Would this annoy you?
I feel most normal people would either block themselves in, or park on the road.
I really don't care if people park 'in front of my house' - it's legal, whatever, but something about being on the verge is really winding me up. Of course I don't own that either! But on the roads around me the only other people who do this live in the house the car is parked in front of. It looks so messy. The grass is all chewed up underneath.
Right now her car has been parked right up to the edge of the grass all week, enough that it is difficult for me to get on and off my own drive if the other neighbours opposite park in the road too. There's loads of room to pull up closer to her own house.
If she was a normal person I would talk to her about it, but after the fiasco with the garden wall (she literally stormed off in a huff when I pointed out she was wrong, even though by this stage she had taken a lot of bricks off my wall!) she has avoided us.
I need to chill, don't I?
Instead I'm burning with car-parking rage!
