Neighbour has asked to park on my driveway for party?

Initially me and my NDN were quite friendly with each other, we would always talk etc.

Due to a misunderstanding with her neighbour on the other side (at the time she was closer to her, they were Fb friends etc) she stopped being so friendly with me.

One time we both come out at the same time and she just ignored me.

Anyway me and her other neighbour now talk and cleared the air about the misunderstanding it’s my NDD who has been exposed as a stirrer and a gossip.

My NDD also created a Facebook group page and everyone was invited to join apart from me.

Anyway long story short, it’s one of her DC’s birthday in few weeks and she asked my DH if her visitors could park on our drive on that day.

He advised her to ask me as I am the one who works from home.

AIBU to say no to her?

Let’s hope she doesn’t choose your option .. you can be a doormat in your life - don’t expect everyone else to be too. I suspect you’re the neighbour 😉

Just to point out the obvious .. where irl do neighbours visitors actually park on other peoples drives?? They park on the street, around corners .. anywhere - but not on other peoples drives 🤷‍♀️ So why does OP’s neighbour need a drive space for visitors? 😵‍💫

I have got room for 4 or 5 cars on my drive and have let and offered my nice neighbours tge use of space when they are having parties or got workmen in.

Well done you 🥇 Not sure you’d be so helpful if the neighbours were unkind/impolite to you 🤔🤷‍♀️

I would let her park. You never know when you might need her. It's really stupid to make an enemy of the person who lives next door to you

So you're another one who would accommodate someone who's treated you badly...more fool you.

Glad to hear you decided to tell her no OP, I'd be telling her exactly why as well

Absolutely not, which I said upthread. My response was to the quoted post where the poster asked who had room for neighbours to park anyway.

So she only went and ordered a parcel to be delivered to my house today whilst she was at work.

I refused to take the delivery and the driver had to leave it under a door to get soaked in the rain.

She has still yet to ask me about the parking.

I would have done exactly the same OP, well done.

To be delivered to your house?! She’s a cheeky fucking twat isn’t she?

She arranged for a parcel to be delivered to your house without asking you?! If so, that's very cheeky!

So we were all correct - given the CF an inch and she’ll take a mile.

Well done for standing your ground

ShodAndShadySenators · 04/09/2025 18:14

Does it say on the parcel's delivery instructions "If out leave at cheeryi's gaff"? If not, how do you know the driver didn't just try yours as you were next door?
I would absolutely not accept a parcel for a twatty neighbour like that either (so glad all my neighbours are lovely!)

She won't ask you about the parking as she only has the bottle to ask your DH, and he wouldn't help her out. She's a CF but she's craven
