This is light hearted/first world problem, as both DH and I know it's not an actual real problem to be annoyed by Grin

But would you be annoyed by this?

Next door neighbours (semi detached) are a family of four, with two teenage boys close in age. We have a drive which is shared with our neighbour on the other side, but family with teenagers don't have a drive, they have a bigger front garden instead.

The couple have two cars - a pick up truck and another estate. The woman doesn't work, the man works in the trade hence the truck.

The first teenage boy turned 18 last year, he got a new car. Which he still hasn't learned to drive, in fact I've never seen him go out in it in all that time. The second boy has clearly just had his birthday too as ANOTHER car has now showed up.

So between them as a household with no drive, they have FOUR cars, one being a huge truck. The two boys' cars don't seem to be moved ever, so they are permanently parked outside our houses, and then the other two vehicles in their fleet parked nearest again.

We have one car which is parked on the drive, and have no visitors at the moment thanks to covid. But AIBU to be annoyed that they have so many cars that take up so much space?!

Sadly, with the parlous state of public transport in this country, it’s almost essential in some areas for adults to be able to drive to find work.
We have 1 car per person in our house, and that’s not likely to change until I retire, or my 2 DC’s move away (DH already retired but needs to be able to drive when I’m at work). That’s why developments without parking space available equivalent to the number of bedrooms always end up overcrowded...
