This is a bit of a non-issue - so feel free to scroll on past if that is what you are thinking.
There's an off lead dog walk that I have to drive to. It's convenient in the morning when I don't have much time. I can park a 4 minute walk along the road to the off lead bit or (outside my in laws) which is a 8 minute walk to the off lead bit.
I usually park with the shorter road walk as 1) it's shorter and 2) the dog isn't confused thinking she's going into my in laws house.
The 4 minute walk parking is in the entrance way to an estate, a very nice estate with walled gardens and electric gates on the driveways of the very large houses and a lot of range rovers.
I was stopped by a man in one of the range rovers who told me it's a private road and I can't park there.
At the time I was a bit frazzled and just said 'OK' and moved the car to outside my in laws down the road.
The thing is at the time I was fairly sure it's not a private road but not quite sure enough to argue my case. But I've since checked with the in laws and on line and no, it's a council adopted road - he just doesn't want people parking there.
So....AIBU to just park there anyway and argue it out with him if he has a go again? Or is that just twatty behaviour from me? And I do the extra walking with a dog slightly confused as to why she's not heading to granny's for a slap up tasty treat or two?
And to recognise that part of the reasoning I want to park in the posh road is because he pissed me off.
