Basically as above! We argued over parking when he moved in and since then he’s behaving more and more erratic and strange…
Ill try and give the short hand version of this. Housing association houses mostly with allocated parking spaces. 1 space per house apart from his house which has a sort of drive.
He works with cars and also has more than one so struggles with parking. When he moved in he parked a van in my allocated space. (I don’t drive but do have visitors so need the space free). He was outside when I got back so I pointed out that the spaces were allocated in case he didn’t know because it’s not exactly obvious in fairness.
To be kind and neighbourly I said he could use the space overnight because it will be free then but I need it empty in the day. He was happy with this. Alls good.
A few weeks later a car had been parked in my space for days on end. When I worked out it was him I put a note on the windscreen. He took the note of, threw it on the ground and continued to park there. Next time I see him I ask him to move it and he starts getting aggressive saying he will park where he likes and it’s not my space. I contact the housing association who phone him and let him know it’s very much my space. They also put a number on it.
A few weeks pass and he’s at it again. Very similar situation happens where he gets aggressive. I get annoyed back and eventually he moves the car and gets another phone call of the housing association.
Then again. This time it’s a van and somebody is sleeping in it. I ask dh to go and tell them to move it as we have people about to show up. Dh is extremely polite and can be seen as a bit of a pushover. The guy immediately starts saying ‘get off my property’ before pushing dh to the ground. Dh phones the police and a woman gets out of the van and starts begging him not to. I ask the guy what his problem is and he says ‘you don’t even have a car’. He seems to think he’s entitled to it even though I pay for the damn thing.
Since then he hasn’t parked in said space but he has decided to take against the Tesco delivery man. He comes outside when they are delivering my shopping to glare at them or tell them they are parking too close to his drive. He is quite aggressive. One of the delivery drivers asked us if he is ‘quite sane’.
He is now parking a van close to my space to make it harder for my visitors to park there. Any workman who comes to my house and accidentally parks in next doors space (they don’t mind, the spaces are next to each other and as long as ones free they don’t care) he comes out to chastise them. He glared at my mum the other day when she was reversing out of my space. Literally came outside to glare. What is his problem!? I really want to ask him but dh has forbidden me.
