Street with semi detached and detached houses. Houses have drives and then room to park on road. Most cars have a car in front of house - either their own or guests/another neighbour etc etc. This is not about parking outside other's houses but more inconsiderate parking. For context you can get 1 car in front of the detacheds then 2 in front of the semis.

Every morning one neighbour moves one of their cars outside their house (semi) then moves the other (so they have none in their drive) across the road in the middle of the opposite semis, meaning one space lost. Sometimes they will then park both in the middle (ie between theirs and their neighbour and then also across the road in the middle, so 2 spaces lost.)

AIBU to think they are just ignorant of others? There are quite a few elderly people with carers coming and going, usually in a car each, but because of this neighbour they are ending up not being able to get parked.

I used to walk the dog at 5.30am every morning and without fail I would see this guy, in his dressing gown, move his car off the drive and park on the road outside his neighbours house- I really wanted to ask him why he did it!!!!

Diagram required before any answering of questions….

what do you plan to do?

V quick diagram as requested. The n is neighbour. As you can see the house across they have parked in middle so only room for one car. Sometimes they will do this outside their own at the same time.

Dont know what to do, doubt they would take much heed. I heard another neighbour complaining about it loudly yesterday. I think it's more annoying for them however as they are beside a few detacheds so had to park further about 10 houses up the road when if neighbour parked decently they'd have got next door to their own house. No big deal in the grand scheme just irritating I guess.
