To be annoyed by this note pushed through my door - photo

[catgirl1976]

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

@catgirl1976 Anonymous passive aggressive neighbour notes are extremely annoying! Ignore, and carry on as normal.

Everyone does, but that's how it goes sometimes. You don't have to like it, you just have to accept it.

People who do this are bonkers. At my previous house we had a succession of ‘notices’ through my door complaining our bonfires were antisocial and ruining their washing and enjoyment of their garden. I’ve never had a bonfire, not one. I ignored the first ones then one day I cracked and knocked at every house in the street and the one behind. No fucker would admit it was them but the notices stopped.

I would assume the anonymous sender was the owner of the house you parked outside.

I do like the idea of getting a big lorry or a broken down camper van and shoving it permanently outside their house. Sadly I don’t have the funds but I’ll sleep better imagining it

I'm the same. I don't care who parks outside my house. It's a public road! How silly.

"we all" could have signed their name or knocked on the door...but they didn't. I'd just ignore it and carry on.

Sounds like my neighbour. He didn’t realise I had moved in and kept leaving notes on my car saying ‘do not park here, this is a private road’ (it isn’t).

Then he realised I live here and said he’d give me ‘special dispensation’ to park.

Er, ok mate 🤣🤣🤣 whose name just so happens to be Dick.

Indeed this

I agree with @climbintheback so you can probably identify the occupant of the property you parked in front of. This person acknowledges anyone can park on the road but imo you should speak to them as there is no recognition that you use a blue badge. Make them ashamed of their petty “inconvenience” and their expectation that you park at the end of the road to ensure this is the end of the matter. They have absolutely no right to police where people park.

Don't have a problem with wanting to park outside your home but I do have problems with notes like this. It happened once? And even by their own admission, it's a problem for parking area. You have a disabled badge (should've given people some understanding) and it was anonymous which is cowardly, as is to write a note in the first place! I'd ignore it.

Ps, that's a woman's handwriting, I'd put a bet on it!

I would photocopy enough too into each neighbours house and write on the back

if you have something to say please come and knock on my door and we can have a conversation, I can then explain why I had to park outside someone’s house today

I would also point out that the road is public and anyone can park anywhere.

By all means ignore it, but generally, getting on with your neighbours is a good thing, even if it requires some compromise.

I assume by now you are probably on the street WhatsApp group. Just post the above photo of the note on it with a "thoughts?" Sit back and enjoy some popcorn

This.
Wipe the note from your memory, it doesn't deserve to take up space in your head or be of worry. No one bothered signing it or wording it better so it doesn't deserve your attention or to affect you in anyway. And park where you want, without doing it as a deliberate wind up (know you're not) but if you need to park somewhere else, do it. They don't own the land and they haven't succeeded in initiating you ;-)

True, although the crazy neighbour could’ve achieved this by just doing what the rest of us do…thinking to herself Ugh someone parked in my space while not actually saying anything because, as acknowledged in the letter, it isnt actually ‘my’ space

Why?? Not sure I understand your thinking?
But regardless OP carry on parking legally and ignore random notes like this.

Anyone who writes “polite note” about their own note is a dick.

You write a note, you try to be polite, and I’ll judge whether you’ve managed it. Which this person hasn’t, because they’ve come across as an arse “thank you in anticipation of your cooperation”.

I’d probably never park in front of my own house again. I assume you can guess who wrote this based on where you were parked. I’d park there every day.

This would be my suggestion too

I'd knock on the door of the person whose house you parked outside of and ask them if they'd sent this note. I couldn't ignore it - the passive aggressiveness of it would infuriate me.
If someone has to label their communication as polite, then it immediately ceases to be so and the lack of signature is cowardly. If they want to say their piece, then they should have the balls to publicly own their opinion.

The alternative is to photocopy it and add a note of your own saying that when they stop hiding behind anonymous notes, you might consider their request. Then deliver the note to all the neighbours. But tbh, I'd go with knocking on the door and having a conversation. No one owns the road and you can park where you please - they know this!

If that’s all they have to worry about 🙄

Being "neighbourly" doesn't really mean sticking anonymous notes through people's doors.

Just ignore.

Ignore anonymous cowards

I'd apply for a disabled bay.
My next door neighbour has one, and as it's longer than the width of our houses, it means I can't park directly outside my own. Fortunately I am able to walk and known it is a public road.

It will really annoy the sort of person who writes notes like that if you get a parking bay that is longer than your house.
