Background I live on a small side street with 20 houses on it on oneside and some green space on the other, that backs onto a school. You'd think parking was a nightmare it really isn't as no access to the school due to weird road layouts.
Most people on the street don't drive, we are lucky to have fantastic public transport links.
Mr Golf moved onto the street about 3 years ago was very cautious with his parking for the first week - parked across the road where there are no houses. He soon realised that no one else in drove that also lived in his HMO (the end terrace)
He starts parking outside the house 🏠
Just before Xmas I noticed that Mr Golf had started parking across the road again - considering the storms and lack of bringing bins in (a whole thread of its own) my partner thought it may be due to the bins hitting his car.
Roll on Xmas holidays, we notice that Mr Golf drives up parks up, then walks off down the street. Over the next few days it becomes clear Mr Golf has moved, and is still parking on the street.
This is not my issue, there is plenty of space for the 14 or so cars, that generally live on the street (I am grateful it's not hell some streets in the area are a nightmare for parking)
Where it starts.
All week Mr Golf has parked up 7 -7.15am, got out one of them electric tyre pumps and pumped his tyres up. Not an issue I'm up at 6 in the week.
This morning however I am annoyed at being woken up at 7.03 by him pumping his tyres up!
I don't get it he has just parked up! He isn't going anywhere for hours!!! Why do it then? The neighbour has told me he has done it all week before driving off to where ever he goes 🤔 - she works from home.
So wise mums net what do I do? It's mother's day tomorrow. I don't want to be woken up for unnecessary tyre pumping 🙃 in my opinion.
So far we have the following suggestions!
- Stick a polite note on his car and ask him to avoid pumpage tomorrow morning so I can have some peaceful 😴 past 7.15am! (Selfish I know)
- Suck it up none of our business (leave the man to his newly found pumping desire 🛞 💕 )
- Hotwire the car 🚗 and take it to have it's tyres fixed and leave him puzzled to why no pumpageis required (partner and sons most helpful suggestion)
- Block him in so he can't go anywhere 🚗🏎🚗(the neighbours suggestion - she is extremely annoyed at being awoken by it all week - logs on at 10 - my kids don't disturb her 😴 She wants to know why he should) - have explained I don't want to intimidate Mr Golf as his parking isn't an issue ✔️ - it's the pumping at 7.am ish
YABU - Leave the man to pump to his little hearts 💕 🛞💞 desire.
YANBU - A note 📝 or some deep seated vengeance is needed 🚗🏎🚗
