AIBU to feel intimidated and extremely angry over parking outside my house

[Sgrev]

So I live along the road from a primary school, there is an inlet road going along my house and 5 others where there is a pavement and a one lane road. One of the male, surprise, parents keeps parking completely on the pavement, otherwise a car wouldn’t be able to get passed. This means children walking into school have to walk in the road to get round him. All parents have been told many times by the school and neighbours that they shouldn’t be parking there because of the children’s safety and ambulance/fire engine access, yet he still continues to park there. Every time he parks there he stares at me coming out of my house, on the way to take my son to school, he doesn’t attend the school opposite our house. The other week whilst driving out of my house he beeped his horn so I looked at him and he stuck his fingers up at me, whilst laughing. He still continues to park outside my house now going in line with my door so I have to look at him, I feel very intimidated and extremely angry. I have contacted the school, with them just saying there’ll mention parking rules in the newsletter and nothing else. What do you think I should do? Should I confront him and ask what his problem is, bit worried to do this to be honest, just try and ignore his intimidation tactics or something else? TIA for any replies

Sorry, I should have said another person. The prick is collecting his child from school so he has a reason to be there. What law do you think he is breaking? We do not have sufficient numbers of officers for them to respond to parents being unpleasant to each other at the school gate.

He's making threatening gestures and harassing you. It's time to act . Phone the police. Parking as he is isn't legal.

What a twat.

You are going to need some evidence of harassment for the police to do anything, a camera of some sort to show he is there each day, that shows his number plate and clearly shows him and any staring or gestures, otherwise to any authorities he’s just parking there, the police won’t respond to only that alone, they need to be provided with hard evidence.

Do you know anyone with an old banger. I would leave it there for a few weeks (just let the neighbours know)

Ring doorbell, plus have your phone in your hand recording every time you come out of your house and he is there. Also laugh at him, big smiles. Do not let him see you concerned.

If he's doing this to you, a random woman minding her own business, then he might well be doing worse to other females in his life. Please consider gathering evidence and reporting him OP. Would any other neighbours also report on your behalf?

This sounds awful and very intimidating and I agree with all the advice given.

Does this man have a child with him when he was making these gestures? Really sad for his child to have to see this.

i agree with others that if he is being this aggressive with you then other people are falling victim to it as well - sadly, probably his family included.

Stalking, harassment, illegally blocking the pavement.you asked what law he was breaking. I think that about covers it.

So as he as he is a parent collecting his child from school do you think the police should also arrest the child who is clearly aiding and abetting all this stalking and harassment? They are clearly in it together.

Wouldn't it be a shame if, after you get your ring doorbell installed, you take your recycling out and drop a glass bottle just before he is due to pull up......
