I have some new neighbours who are moving into the house in stages. Where i live parking is limited - each house has space for 1 or 2 cars on the drive but that's it really - there's limited space on the road itself without blocking in other cars.
Twice now the new neighbours have parked their car or van that fully blocks my drive so I can't get my car out.
I've asked politely not to block my drive but each time they have responded angrily saying they have to park there for convenience. I explained they could have asked me first to park there out of courtesy, and I would have agreed, but just blocking my drive without asking was unacceptable. Even after me asking them the first time not to block my drive without asking, they did it again later. On both occasions when I spoke to them they responded in disprectful and hostile manner. They thought they had the right to block my drive since they were moving in..
I'd never dream of blocking anyone's driveway and just don't understand the mentality of these people.
A previous neighbour regularly had visitors who'd block my driveway and I had to go round and ask them to move their car which was usually met with annoyance.
AIBU to expect people not to block my driveway under any circumstance? Why do people think its ok to block someone's drive?
This has really upset me, I live alone with my young daughter and don't want to be having issues with the neighbours.
Thank you..
