My husband has started parking his car on our neighbour's drive as he knows they are away for a week. We have a good relationship with them and a few years ago they agreed to allow us to do this once when they were on holiday.
This time, however, my husband hasn't asked our neighbour's permission and has just done it anyway. I told him I think this is cheeky and that he should just pop them a quick text to see if it's ok. He says no, it'll be fine and he thinks they'll appreciate it from a security point of view, and that we did it a few years ago so it'll be fine now.
We have 3 cars, one in the garage and two on our narrow drive all in a row. The one in my garage is our teen's car which he saved up for himself, the other is mine and the other my husband's. He says parking one of the cars on our neighbour's drive will also make our life easier for a week (ie not having to reverse all the cars out to get out the one in the garage). I said he should park on the road instead as it's a fairly reasonable area with not much car crime.
Despite my protestations about being embarrassed if they return from holiday early to find one of our cars on their drive, he's stuck to his guns.
AIBU to think:
- That he should contact via text to check they don't mind
- That he shouldn't park there without asking them if I'm not comfortable with it
Just that really, thanks!
