Angry parking man

[crochetmonkey74]

I've posted about him before , we live in an unrestricted parking terraced road near a park. Not many people have drives. He's convinced himself he's entitled to the space outside his house. He's shouted at me before and he's very large and I find him physically frightening. Last night I arrived home late and parked outside his house. This morning, he was literally HAMMERING on my front door so loud it was scary. I didn't answer of course, left it enough time so he didn't think I immediately reacted and now I have escaped to a coffee shop in scruffy clothes, no make up having a little cry to myself. I feel pathetic, I'm normally a you have to stand up to bullies person but given the recent story where someone was killed in a parking row I just feel scared. I'm a bit emotionally fragile and exhausted at the moment anyway for a number of reasons. I guess my question is AIBU to just let him have his way and cave to the bully?

I witnessed a beautiful thing a few months ago.

A large, loud and threatening male began ranting at a small slight young woman. It was over parking clearly.

Well, this woman absolutely roared loader than the man, she absolutely let rip and yanked the guys head off with a barrage of filth and abuse. She unleashed hell upon that dude.
She squared up to him without hesitation.

The guy was visibly stunned and backed off. He had no comeback at all, I mean, he had nothing, nothing at all to reply. He left.

People who had stopped to witness this spectacle all asked her if she was ok and it was as if nothing had happened, she just shrugged and carried on about her business!

Not saying you should do this Op but my it was good to see the worm turning that day.

Babe! You’re literally scared of calling the police because of repercussions from him!

he has scared you that much!
what a bloody misogynistic twat!
he deserves a visit from the po-po!

I was missing this sentence..

HE HAS DONE MORE THAN ENOUGH TO BE REPORTED.

Quote taken from link. They do not actually have to be physically violent. It is enough that the victim thinks they are about to be attacked.

Common assault (section 39, Criminal Justice Act 1988)
A person is guilty of common assault if they either inflict violence on another person – however slight this might be – or make that person think they are about to be attacked.
They do not have to be physically violent – for example, threatening words or a raised fist could lead the victim to believe they are going to be attacked – and that is enough for the crime to have been committed. Other acts like spitting at someone may also classed as common assault.

I know where I'd be parking from now on.

Please don't let him intimidate you. A ring doorbell is a good idea. I wouldn't answer. I'd record him if approached when outside. I'd tell him residents are allowed to park anywhere in the street. I'd tell him he was behaving in a threatening way if he was. I'd report every hostile interaction from now on.

Easy for someone else to say, but do try to stand your ground. He’ll take the piss in ever increasing ways if he is allowed to. And report the behaviour EVERY SINGLE TIME. Big hug, nasty neighbours are so stressful. X

I'm back home now. Was nervous and I am worried that he is going to knock and try to warn me off (my car is not outside his house at the mo)
Am going to take the advice of reporting

Yes please do report to police and log it, he's a pathetic bully especially if he's targeting only you and not your male neighbours.

Film him ranting and send it to the police.

I agree with the advice to report to the police.
