So I get home tonight, to find a chap from a house on our close standing on the doorstep, having just rung our bell. He says 'can you move your van, its causing people to drive over our cobbles' I say in shock 'oh yes, of course, its only there, because woman over the roads daughter will block the road with her mamouth 4x4 if we park further back, and I shout back to dh who'se unloading dd2 to shift his van' bloke says ok and leaves. We get into house, dh goes and moves the van back half a cars/vans length. We then ponder our actions......
Our garden is being dug up and turned into somewhere to park, so yes I can understand if people are upset with dh's van on the road for about 3 mths now, but they can see work is in progress, aided and abetted by rain etc. The van is parked legally on the road, and is 2 large car lengths away from this blokes front, its not even the bloomin house directly in front of where dh is parking??? the people infront manage to get their own car and van on quite happily as do the people in the corner who also share a garage with the lady whose house we park infront of......I can't see any of them needing to swing onto this blokes driveway, as there is literally loads of room?????
Was quite tempted to knock on my way home from the gym and point out he's parked on his cobbles, which might be upsetting them?
So am I being unreasonable???? Will also have to go and see old lady over road tomorrow, as I know she's going to ask me to move van further back, so her daughter has somewhere to park, so no doubt he'll be round asking her or her daughter to move their vehicle instead
