I’ve recently moved to this street.

I know it’s politely written but it’s so passive aggressive.

The “end of the road” in question has a primary school on it. There were no spaces there at 830am when I needed to park. And there was someone in the space outside my house so I parked about two door down from my house in the only possible space.

I also have a blue badge.

AIBU to be annoyed? No house number on it so not sure which neighbour sent it

Batshit. Ignore!

Doggymummar · 27/03/2026 22:26

I would just ignore it

CalmTheFuckDownMargaret · 27/03/2026 22:27

Cowards. Not even a house number. I’d ignore it.

crossstitchingnana · 27/03/2026 22:27

Take no notice.

Sweetbeansandmochi · 27/03/2026 22:28

I hate stuff like that. No one owns the road.
But (hypocrite alert) I also hate it when people park outside my house!!

StationJack · 27/03/2026 22:28

Ignore it.

TrendingTerror · 27/03/2026 22:28

Cowards and batshit crazy!!

EllaMozarella · 27/03/2026 22:28

Fuck that shit.

Anewerforest · 27/03/2026 22:28

the content would be OK if it had a house number and signature on it so that you could go round and ask what they expect you to do when someone has parked outside your house.
But I never trust anything calling itself a 'Polite notice'!

doitwithlove · 27/03/2026 22:28

Knobheads, park where you want to OP

Itiswhysofew · 27/03/2026 22:29

That looks like my sister's handwritingGrin

What a nightmare.Things change & no-one has a right to instruct you on where to park.

Covidwoes · 27/03/2026 22:30

@Sweetbeansandmochi, why does it bother you? Unless blocking a driveway, I genuinely don’t understand. I couldn’t care less when someone parks outside my house. I don’t own the land/road.

I had this sort of drama once years ago and when I rented a terraced house with on street car parking.
i didn’t drive back then but my housemate did and she kept getting notes on her windscreen she just ignored them!

owing to this experience I have since then and since passing my test - never lived anywhere with on street carparking!

climbintheback · 27/03/2026 22:31

It’s a woman between 25 and 35!

Scripturient · 27/03/2026 22:31

When someone signs their name to a ‘polite notice’, then I might take it seriously.

RedWineCupcakes · 27/03/2026 22:31

Well it is clearly from the occupant of the house you parked outside and they are obvious a MNer. They know they have no right to insist but are still going to try. Ignore it.

If they mean business they will buy a cheap car to park there and block the space for themselves.

Changingplace · 27/03/2026 22:33

Twats.

You could be passive aggressive, photocopy it, attach your own response with details of someone already being in front of your house, blue badge etc and post a copy through all the neighbours houses so everyone else knows they’re a twat too 😁

Plus it’ll unnerve them because they’ll think you’ve only sent it to them so do know who sent it.

Chasingsquirrels · 27/03/2026 22:34

You have a Blue Badge - apply to the council for a disabled space in front of your house.
It won't be "your" space, but only blue badge holders will be able to park there.

That will really annoy them!

thecomedyofterrors · 27/03/2026 22:36

It’s the word ‘co-operation’ that would trigger me to ignore it. A polite request, understandable. But obedience to the anonymous parking policemen on the street- absolutely not.

bunnyvsmonkey · 27/03/2026 22:36

I would hire an articulated lorry and park it outside for a week because I am petty as hell.

DingleDungle · 27/03/2026 22:37

Anonymous notes are hardly neighbourly!

DiscoCherries · 27/03/2026 22:37

My friends neighbour leaves a note on my car every time I visit her, she has them printed and laminated. Furious I’ve dared to park on their street. Just ignore it OP some people think they own the roads!

Fast800goingforit · 27/03/2026 22:41

It's also their assumption they speak for all the neighbours. I'd be very much inclined to photocopy, reply and post to all the neighbours as @Changingplace suggests and ask when the meeting took place at which it was decided to anonymously admonish you in writing or on what basis the letter writer was elected to write to you. What a smug, passive aggressive, wankerish thing to do.

MolkosTeenageAngst · 27/03/2026 22:41

If I found out who it was I would make an effort to park outside their house rather than my own forever more!
