My neighbour has ruined my night.

[MrsJackRackham]

I'm bottom floor flat with my living room window on the street, no front garden. It's a busy street with everyone out walking as we're near a country park and it's a nice area to walk. So I like sitting of an evening watching everyone go by and loving all the dogs out for a evening's constitutional.
My neighbour has had the absolute cheek to park his big fucking van outside my window blocking my view of half the street. WIBU to chap his door and make up some story as to why he needs to move it?
This is the biggest parking drama ever to happen in the street as everyone is very respectful and considerate so I may be overreacting. Slightly.

When I lived in a a terrace my neighbour had a big van and I discussed it with him as I has no natural light if he parked in front of my house, he was happy to park elsewhere and on the odd occasion he couldn’t it was fine, he was considerate as he could be, a good neighbour. Speak to them politely.

sprinkle salt around his van while walking counter clockwise and recite the lords prayer backwards

To be honest I would do the same thing... yanbu!

I think you should photograph his van from your window and then print out a large copy of it and stick the copy to his window so when he looks out he gets the same view.

Shame it's not a white van - you could project those lovely screensaver pictures you get on the computer or TV onto it. Even better, persuade someone with a box van to park there.

Alternatively, chalk "Ministry of Silly Walks" on either end of the pavement and see whether you can get people to entertain you on the way past.

Although obviously it's light hearted etc etc it is thoughtless and selfish, as Walkingthedog46 's example illustrates...

Our neighbours have an oversized long wheelbase extra height van and don't park it on their drive because it "takes up space" - instead they park it on the road where it seriously obstructs the line of sight and therefore makes getting out of our drive dangerous, meaning we have to park on the road too. Yes they are entitled blah, blah, blah, but it's a repeated and consistent minor act of arseholery.

How fucking dare they.
Log it with 101

That’s odd, I can see myself in your drawing AND YET I do not live in Scotland .

Me thinks there is trollery afoot!

Can you draw a giant willy in the dirt on the van? It’s the only way

Love the diagram.

Do you know anyone who could steal the van?

Our neighbours' van already has a giant cock on it! They put it there themselves as part of their company logo!

They don't appreciate the irony as we don't live in an English speaking country and it's a cockerel type of cock, but still, it's satisfying somehow...

An excellent diagram, OP.

I vote for Sparklings suggestion above.

Unfortunately, if he is parking in front of his own building he is absolutely right.

Depends how busy your streets are. Around here, quite a few elderly people have started to spend hours on a chair, or the existing benches, on their front garden. It's great - they see people and feel less isolated, and are safe that way. Only a fuckwit would park a massive van to block their view instead of parking in front of their own home.

Best diagram ever

"Of an evening"

Cringe

That's one of the best diagrams I've seen on here. Are you a professional artist? Also, what type of dog have you that 'eats raw'

You sound like a nightmare

Lots of great ideas however most of them involve me actually moving off the couch and therefore not at option.
I know far too many people who can steal a van
I keep glaring at it and DP has told me to wind my neck in and if he promises to move our car into the space if it becomes available can I please stop huffing because I'm ruining some CIA documentary he's watching

Do you have an upstairs room looking out over the street? You'd have a better view up there as you can look a bit further left and right.

Thank you, those explaining about chap the door. I’ve never heard of that expression.

Good drawing!

beautiful diagram!

CIA documentary -maybe he can get some ideas.

Ethel not professional, no. However I do have my art O grade and I feel it does show.
He's a Whippet, we feed him a raw diet. Raw meat, offal, bones etc. He loves it and his coat is beautiful on it.

Fantastic diagram. Well done OP🎖
