We live in a popular area where usually people park on our road to access a vibrant socialising spot. We are new to the road and bought because of location.
We do not have a parking space and almost all residents park on the road (no permits).
Our neighbour always puts a cone in his space when he goes out so that people will avoid parking in it and he can park again outside his house. I once went to park in that space and he shouted at me. He says he needs it as he is disabled, although there are allocated disabled spaces down the road.
AIBU to think that this is just outrageous and he's a CF? Just so you're aware he is physically fine enough to walk a few metres from a different space and I have a visitor often who is physically disabled (paralysis) who doesn't even try this excuse.
I can't even park outside my house - I just walk. There's more cars than spaces available so it's a free for all.
Diagram for fun.
