The neighbours are getting their windows cleaned by a service. The van parked in front of our drive, blocking our car. All the way up and down the street, there is only ONE other car parked on the street, so there is no shortage of places to park. WHY do they block my drive?? And they saw my car, as they were leaning on their van having a cigarette, talking, facing my car before they started setting up for the job.
At present, I have nowhere that I need to go. But they don't know that, do they? And if I DO have to go somewhere suddenly, I would need to go find them, interrupt them mid-job, and get them to move their vehicle out of the way so I can get my car out. It's just so inconsiderate.
So I went outside and asked them (politely, I might add) to please move their van so that it was not blocking my drive. They then asked me if I was planning on going anywhere. Does it matter? Obviously the possibility is there, or I wouldn't have asked them to move. So I told them I might need to leave in a bit and didn't want to have to interrupt them when they were in the middle of their job, therefore it was easier if they just moved now, before they started. (I didn't even rant about how inconsiderate it was to block a drive, especially when it wasn't necessary - although I really wanted to!)
But they did act a bit like I was being unreasonable. I don't think I was BU. I was polite when I asked them and said thank you politely when they agreed to move it, even though they were rather grudging about it.
