Parking one! Pic included. Am I being petty?

[Larafromthe80s]

We have a drive which can fit 2 cars 1 infront of the other and a space on the road outside our house.
Next door have the exact same.
Both houses have 2 cars and neither of us double park on the drive unless someone random has used our road spot. We never take each others road spot out of courtesy.

Anyway a few weeks ago a family moved in on the street next to us, they have 3 cars. They also have 2 spaces on their drive but only use 1, then their other cars keep parking outside ours and our neighbours houses.
It wouldnt be such an issue but my husband's job means he's often called out to work throughout the night so we dont like playing car jenga, hence the fact for 7 years hes always parked on the street outside our house.
Anyway today the son's been parked there, hes gone out tonight so I've moved my car into the spot so my husband can have our drive when home.
However the family have just literally came and stood outside my house smirking and shaking their heads and now I'm really worried I've started a war but also conscious that I may have been really petty!
AIBU to be getting annoyed by this?

Yes I know that. What’s your point?

@Arabellla you're abusing the neighbour for not using both spaces while saying op can park wherever she likes

@Arabellla OP is doing the same thing “wanky” neighbour is doing.

Reading your message I can see that you are in the house and already have your car in the garage, therefore your husband is always back after you and he can park the car behind yours, safely being able to leave in an emergency

You need to read all OP's posts, @Arabellla. OP's car isn't always in the garage. Unsurprisingly, she needs to take her car out, including in the evenings.

@girlmom21 no, you’ve misunderstood. The neighbour is using only 1 space on his drive whilst getting butt hurt that OP is parking outside her own home.

@Arabellla In fact the neighbour has more of a need for that space.

But then he can’t get butt hurt.

As I’ve said repeatedly - spaces are first come, first served.

Really sorry, @Arabellla, I see that I should have addressed that to @ginforever

That argument would hold true if he used BOTH his driveway spaces not one,

No worries @DePfeffoff

And OP is only using one space on her drive and getting butthurt about someone else using another space on the road. They're as bad as each other

No, she’s not butt hurt. Her aibu was whether she is being petty to park there. She’s not petty parking outside her own home. She hasn’t said he can’t park there.
