To be annoyed by my neighbours parking

[Teacake97]

Hi all

aibu to be annoyed by my neighbours parking?

They park right on the corner because it means the car is in full view of their cctv. If they moved further forward I would be able to park my car in front of the house but as they insist on it being in view of their cctv I don’t have the room and often have to park on the next street because the road is very bad for parking. I often have to struggle back with toddler DD and shopping bags!

Sounds annoying but unfortunately they're free to park where they want.

Have you spoken to them about it?

I should add my other next door neighbours car is often parked up too. There is enough room for 3 cars to park sensibly. If the neighbour with cctv parked further forward I would have enough room to park there too. There is often a gap between their car and my other neighbours but because their car is parked to be in view of cctv the gap isn’t big enough for me.

Could you park in 'their spot' so to speak? So every now and then they have to park on another street? See how they like it. I am all for getting along with neighbours but that would infuriate me. Could they not move security camera if you asked as a first resort?

definitely annoying. I live in a busy street but all the neighbours are considerate with our parallel parking so we can all fit quite nicely. Of course sometimes a spanner is thrown in the works but it is no big deal, we just park elsewhere. But regular inconsiderate parking is annoying

Not unreasonable. I have a neighbour that always parks on the path despite having a two car driveway and it drives me mad

Bizarre!
they only need a bit of their car in view of their cctv ie the front (drivers side) if they are worried about it being stolen or the rear if they are worried about their Catalytic converter. But surely they could adjust their cctv angle!
Either way - part in 'their spot' as often as you can. That will back them off enough to change their attitude

If they won’t budge just start parking in ‘their’ spot whenever it is free.
