to expect complete strangers to not abandon their car outside my house since Xmas eve?

[theexmrsbarryscott]

This is beginning to drive me sightly mad, there has been a car parked outside our house since Xmas Eve. Abandoned by people who go to the pub at the rear of our house, this happens frequently on a Friday and Saturday night but am I being unreasonable to expect them to have a bit of respect and courtesy over Xmas and allow my visitors to be able to park outside our house?

We do have a very small bit of grass outside our front window and there's loads of parking just down the road so it's not as if there's absolutely nowhere to park at all.

They either park outside your house so you can keep an eye on it for them or it to far to walk for them .

And yes i have asked someone to move their car from outside my house before now.

But i have done so because i live at the end of a close and own the land outside my house.

Because they didn't knock and ask. I don't mind people parking outside as long as they ask first. Only because if we are having guests they have no parking.

I live in a neighbourhood where we all have an allocated parking bay. We're in flats so our bay obviously isn't outside our door. Our groundfloor neighbours have bought a second car and keep parking them both outside their front door, taking up my bay as well as their own. They do move when I ask, but I am getting pissed off with asking, especially as they have 2 month old twins that might wake up when I knock. It's still a fucking cheek though.

Just leave a polite note on the windscreen, asking them not to park there as it is needed for access.
If they ignore it then you will know that they are sh*ts.

I can understand why it annoys you, but YABU. You don't own the road. If you can't cope with people parking outside your house, then you need to move somewhere away from pubs/sports clubs/schools/train stations etc. Or buy a house with room for visitor parking on your property. Sorry, but you did ask.....
