to want to whack my neighbour???

[nelix2000]

Ok let me explain......not long moved into a house, older lady (50s) next door said she was glad she had quiet neighbours (me, ds and dp) as her old ones bullied her, tried to take her parking space (its a street not private) etc.

SO my dp and I try and park our cars right infront of our house squeezed in so as to not upset neighbour giving her the whole length of her house for her one car while we skillfully paralell park daily to squeeze infront of our house with two cars. Its a small villiage its kind of an unwritten rule that your parking is infront of your house...BUT it is a street and we can legally park anywhere. But one day neighbour blew her old witches hump right off her back when my car was 2 foot...yes 2 foot infront of her house. I am not petty...i dint mind parking round the corner...just not when i have ds and a load of shopping.

So the parking was begins...on her part anyway...she edges her car RIGHT infront of my house by 3 foot then in turn meaning the rest of the street have to rearange their parking. Silly old boot.....who says she wants no trouble!...we are not playing this game and park one car elsewhere if she is doing this.

THEN last night at 1145pm......her adult son and his girlfirend (there are 3 adults and two 8-9 yr old kids live in a small house) decided to play hip hop till 2am (unless she is a closet bling granny and listens to dr dre in the early hours...it was her son) waking my son up for 3 hours screaming!!!!!

Was I unreasonable to wait until she left this morning and park my car infront of her house AND put classical russian opera (the most polar opposite to hip hop i could imagine) whilst i hoovered my upstairs knowing they were all sleeping after late night dancing??? Was it really wrong??as we all know regardless of how late kids are awake they still wake at 7am!...so my exhausted baby boy woke up hungry so I fed him then did my housework at an innapropriate hour. was IBU?

1st post on here be gentle...I dont think i was being naughty really.....there are 3 adults next door non of whom work so its fine for them to stay up till all hours mid week...dp and I dont have that luxury....so I say F*ck em!!!! tell me I am still sane.......and this old gangster granny has not tipped me over the edge of sanity....

And (I am fired up now) its not the the road they are parking on its the pavement.

Fimbo, your friend needs the 'Bodica' attachment that I dreamed up for my buggy (when it was being used) - special attachments that you can push a button (or pull a lever...) and two metal spikes spring out on either side, at handlebar height. I think that they rotate too so that the scratches that they inflict on anything that is parked on the pavement is a lovely wavey line

I've never owned a car so tend to be really unsympathetic to car owners

Your neighbour probably felt vulnerable - hence the re-enforcements.

both as bad as each other

"its not the the road they are parking on its the pavement"

sorry that's different.i presumed they were parking on the road that just happened to be right outside your door. if they are parked illegally and causing a blockage on the path that's not on.

OMG, do you have my old neighbours, do you live on the east cost near the Humber??

I have found out today that our local parish council (live in a village) are going to be issuing notices to people who park on pavements/grass verges to tell them that they will be responsible for any repair costs.

Mistlethrush we should go into business - we would make a fortune.

Its funny, ds has always liked sticks. Strangely, I didn't insist that he always put them down before getting back into buggy, and then only stopped them sticking out in appropriate locations...
