I came home from work today to find my neighbour 1 had yet again parked on our drive. I rang the door bell they didn't answer so I knocked sharply on the door and asked them to move the car, guy said that he didn't live there and didn't know he couldn't park there, I said that the owners of the house knew it wasn't their driveway, please can you move the car. He did and told me I should be more polite!
A couple of hours later, my neighbour knocked on it door and started having a right go at me for knocking his door and asking someone to move their car. Their were lots of things said during which he threatened to punch in my door, break my windows and get all his mates to come round and park on and in front of my drive and that there was nothing I could do and that basically I was never to knock on his door again because I did it too loudly, I had embarrassed him in front of his friends and his uncle and he had a new baby. He has since then knocked on my door a further 3 times demanding to speak to my husband about it.
I was really annoyed they had parked there again, they also often have people park right in front of my car on the road meaning that neither of us or my attached neighbour can get out of our drives if we need to. In the last 3 years we have probably knocked on about 5 or 6 times asking them to move. There's loads of times we don't bother them. He thinks we're harassing him and wants us to stop knocking on!
I was about to report the threatening behaviour to the police, it's all being caught on our door camera, but feel that is going absolutely nuclear, so want to try and resolve amicably if I can.
AIBU in expecting them to just respect our driveway and not get pissed off if we are asking them to move, or should I just suck it up and let their guests park wherever the hell they want, no matter the inconvenience to us.
Sorry that was longer than I expected!
