It's a parking one..

[lboogy]

I know this is possibly going to be seen as a minor issue but here goes...
My neighbour keeps parking outside the house with his massive van. There are plenty of parking spaces across the road. Before we did the driveway we used to have to park across the road because we'd always get home after he did he he'd be parked up outside the house. He has a drive way too. So he'd park his normal car in the drive way and the massive van outside our house.

Now we have the driveway I'm less bothered by the van but it being outside the house makes viability when coming out a bit of a challenge.

Now he's parked his van literally on the edge of the dropped kerb making visibility even worse and making it a bit of squeeze getting out - especially if we have to turn right .

Is he being a knob or AIBU to be bothered by it?

Btw - we've never discussed the parking issue it's them because it's clearly a free country but it's not neighbourly to taking up parking when you know your neighbour parks outside the house.

He's parking his van outside your house so he doesn't have to look at it from his house. Selfish fuck.

People do this exact thing on the edge of my driveway, it makes visibility shit if they have a giant car and if not then it just makes turning out onto the road more difficult because there are cars parked opposite too. I would go round and ask him to park as far from the edge of your driveway as he can, explaining it's making it dangerous for you. If I catch someone parking like that outside ours I beetle out and ask them to shuffle up working at home is getting quite boring

He's knob. My neighbours various visitors always do this and it drives me nuts, purely because it's so bloody dangerous getting off my drive 🤬

Could you park where they’ve parked instead? Seeing as you can’t safely get off you drive you need to park there instead?

Wow I didn't expect everyone to agree with me. He can park further forward - he has his car on his driveway so he could park across his driveway blocking his car in since he doesn't drive that car much.

It's just really rude. And yes it doesn't help that cars park opposite either so we have no choice but to turn left - do a u-turn to them go right.

As I said opposite him is always free but he chooses not to park opposite.

Hes being a knob. The vans in the way of your visability. Not worth waiting until after you've had an accident. You could even say you nearly crashed going out as a car was going so fast and didnt see you pulling out as the van blocks the view.

When his van goes, stick all your dustbins out there.

It will be way too much ballache for him to get out and move them.
