To ask what you would do

[Jangle7381]

If a neighbour parked next to your car like this.

Knock on their door and ask them to move it to allow you to actually access your own car. How the hell are you meant to get in unless you go through the passenger side?!

Hmm tricky. What's your relationship like?

What is the parking situation like? Is there history or just bad parking?

I rang their Ring doorbell three times. I heard movement, but no one answered.

If you'd is the white one, I'd knock on the door.

i am assuming you are the one on the left, in which case, I would ask them to move their car.

Have they done it because there’s history between you? Or is the space tight and you were over the line? Either way it’s shitty and there’s literally no way they don’t know it as they presumably had to climb out!

I’d keep knocking on the door.

I would just climb through the passenger side. Have had to do this many times.

If my car was the white car, I’d need to summon all my tact & diplomacy to ask them to move their car. Someone did this to me in a supermarket car park during a pre-school dash for something urgent - I was LIVID. There were 2 kids left in the car and I sent one of them in the shop to get their parent. Driver arrived (eventually, didn’t come straight away), no apology, said “is there a problem?” I was seething- “yes you’ve parked far too close” - they actually had the brass neck to say “are you on your way to school as well? We’re all in a rush”. At that point it was either going to escalate very unpleasantly or, just let it go. I chose the latter.
If I were you I’d ask the neighbours really nicely but walk away if they don’t respond in kind - thinking of the couple who were ultimately murdered over a parking row.

he twat. I returned to my car in a car park to find it blocked like that. There was nobody around. I had to sit in the passenger seat, get my legs up over the brake, etc., and (very inelegantly) shuffle over to the driver's side. Not easy when you've had a stroke

It's annoying for sure. I would just climb over the passenger seat when I actually needed to use the car next. (I'm able bodied). Because life is too short to lose your rag every time someone else is inevitably inconsiderate. However if I had mobility problems or if it was a common occurrence I would ask them not to park like that. Or get my partner to ask because I'm socially anxious. 😂

What a shame cars that park like that get damaged 😶

It isn’t tricky at all!

If you can hear movement in side the house then I’d be keeping my finger on the bell until they came out

If you can hear movement, keep ringing the bell and banging on the door until they come out.

Id keep ringing the doorbell, no way I’d just moving my car and be blamed for scratching theirs.
