We live close to the head office of a big corporate company - thousands of employees attend across the week.
Our house is a couple of streets away, and we’ve got an EV charger. We have made this available for ‘rent’, and it’s at a far more affordable cost than the chargers at the head office. Therefore, we’ve built up over time through word of mouth etc and we usually average about 3 people using it a day.
This has been for about 3 months with no issues at all.
Yesterday, our neighbour knocked and said they are uncomfortable with the ‘comings and going’s’ and not knowing who these people are, and feel it’s cheapening the street . I pointed out they work more or less over the road in corporate roles.
They then said that they have found some of the behaviour ‘unacceptable’. I asked for examples to which they gave two:
-A man smoking whilst waiting for his charge to finish
-A woman on the phone making an ‘extreme’ sexual remark. On pressing what this was, it was basically a fouler version of ‘I’ve had a crap day and want to have sex tonight’.
I said that usually, people leave their cars and then go into work before returning either on break, lunch or at the end of the day. But said I’d keep an eye out for any untoward behaviour.
I thought this would placate them, but they said that if we don’t stop it this week then they will speak to the council to register a ‘formal complaint’.
I don’t intend to stop, and am aware we are acting perfectly legally. Is it me, or they are batshit?!
