Might be long, and apologies in advance if it’s boring, lol.
I’ll add a diagram because it’s a bit confusing, but basically I live on a row of houses facing a green, with two small car parks one at the side and one opposite.
We’re on a street with two schools, so staff often use the car parks during the day. It’s never been an issue until they moved in. New neighbours moved in further down the street and seem to think they own the car parks. They put notes on all the teachers’ cars telling them not to park there again, and today they even deliberately blocked one of them in.
I then saw a confrontation where another neighbour pulled into the car park and the new ones ran out, telling her she shouldn’t be parking there, that she needs to move, and that she should use her driveway instead (they have two cars, so I assume her partner was going to be using it).
The cheeky mare doesn’t even park properly herself when she does manage to get into the car park, she parks diagonally and takes up two spaces.
AIBU to be irrationally irritated by this behaviour? Even though I haven’t had any dealings with them it’s making me want to go and remind them that this is a public road and most of us have lived here 10+ years and there has never been any issue with the car parks. Yes, it can be annoying when you don’t get a space right outside your house, but we all understand it’s first come, first served, and anyone can park there because it’s a public road.
I’ll also add that 95% of the time, the road directly outside her house has plenty of free spaces that aremuch closer. So I’ve no idea why she’s so obsessed with getting into the car park every day.
