Reported guy to his workplace

[Hannah55r]

So in the last house I lived in, the streets were VERY narrow. If anyone parked opposite the house, the entire turning circle space for our driveway was obstructed. Extremely annoying and I had no problem telling people to move if needed
Anyway, a guy on the next street over (not even a resident on our cul de sac!!!) And his wife had a HUGE drive. Could fit 6 vehicles easily. He chose to park his big ass work van in the very place it was an obstruction to 3 separate households. Selfish little man that he was. This was every night for 6 months of the year.
I approached the wife and the man in question who was an extremely aggressive - despite me being polite in the first instance said there were camera pointing at it etc etc - directly into all 3 gardens and 1 family had kids. I told her that I was going to be reporting the cameras to the relevant authorities and if he didn't move his van I would do the same with that. I bought a little camera immediately do I could get any footage as I knew the type of people they were with that interaction.
He then later that night aggressively revved his engine for over an hour......it was caught on my brand new camera that also had audio

The following day, I rang his workplace as did 5 separate neighbours all with footage and informed them that he was being a nuisance and blocking everyone in etc etc - told them of his aggressive behaviour when told to move etc
The next night, no van. The next 6 months it was parked on his drive. I kept the camera and actually got 3 more just in case I had any more issues.
I spoke directly to his boss who said any more issues email immediately- of course he didn't learn his lesson and started getting aggressive again and I then told him 5 sets of neighbours had footage of his behaviour and his employer would be informed. He lost his van after the last incident and his cameras moved.
My question is, was it a dick move considering how rude and disrespectful.he was to half the street?

He’s a dick but I think it’s pretty poor to jeopardise someone’s employment.

I can’t help but think how awful it would be to lose your job right now.

as did 5 separate neighbours

really?

No, you weren't wrong. If he was so worried about his job he should behave better.

So this happened months ago?

Most of them do these days.

I'm assuming his van had the company name on the side? If so, fair enough. I'm sure his employer wouldn't want his company's reputation damaged by one dickhead's behaviour. There's a local tradesman I won't use because he parks like a twat outside his child's school at pick up time and doesn't think the rules about the zigzag lines apply to him.

This one particularly so

He jeopardised his own employment by leaving his work van in a stupid place and revving it up for over an hour in an idiotic display of anti-social behaviour after being rude to someone asking him to move it. Natural consequences.

But hey let's make a woman responsible for a man's stupidity.

It did indeed. The whole bottom half of the street was fed up with him

Not at all. He got fair warning and still couldn't behave with any decency. It's not good advertising for his employer either.

Really, in what way?

Why am I strange?? Because I don't appreciate anti social behaviour from someone who can use theor own property? Get real

He could have lost his employer a lot of business with his shitty behaviour, he's lucky you went directly to them rather than posted the footage on social media.

I complained to an employer once when two blokes were inappropriately jeering at me from a work van with their employer’s details on the side. I mean… how stupid can you get?! Got a profuse apology.

He then later that night aggressively revved his engine for over an hour......it was caught on my brand new camera that also had audio

Imagine having nothing better to do with your sad little life than waste an hour doing this.

I'll be honest when i was talking about it to my elderly neighbours they were frustrated and said a few other were too. I told them inwas going to email the company and then when I actually spoke to them they had recieved numerous complaints. I will clarify I never told anyone else to do the same.
When I interacted with him amd his wife they were aggressive, smug and said that their cameras were pointing at us at all times. Safe to say he wasn't quite as smug afterwards. All I asked was to park on his own drive. But yeah I'm the strange one. Ok.

YANBU @Hannah55r Good for you. And you are not ODD, ignore people saying you are. What a rude thing to say to you!

Yep this. This 'man' sounds like the odd one, not the OP!

I support what you did OP. Glad to read others did the same.

Yeah......really!! Because this idiot kept half the street awake. Duh.

If he lost his van after the last incident how was it parked on his drive for 6 months?

Thankyou!

I AM ODD AND PROUD OF IT!!

If he didn’t rev his engine and get aggressive, just said yeah yeah yeah and ignore you, then I’d say OTT. But threatening behaviour is absolutely one to report. So fair play.

Fuck that! He wasn't listening so sometimes people need a little persuading. I presume this is a work van too, so his employer has a right to know that he's burning out tyres, giving the business a bad reputation.

Don't feel bad! He should feel bad, it's frankly pathetic that he needs his boss to tell him off in order to listen.
