Aibu over lady using my parking spaces.

[Nannyplum2015]

We live in a housing estate and each house or flat has one or two spaces allocated to them. Most of the spaces are directly outside our houses except a few that are round the side that have garages. The spaces aren't numbered but everyone seems to know who's is whose. There's a new neighbour that has moved in next door to me (a corner house) and has a garage parking space round the back of her house, however she uses both my spaces as she parks in the middle of them. It's quite annoying when there's nowhere else to park as you have to park further down the road.

I went over today and introduced myself and poilitley told her the spaces were mine and hers was round the back but she was welcome to use our other space when we don't have guests but could she park to one side so I can fit my car next to hers. She looked at me with a blank expression, said no and shut the door on me! What do I do now!? I just stood there for a moment open mouthed and then went home.

Now I'm not sure if she has mobility problems as she's not exactly nimble anymore (about 65) but I am shocked at her one word reply!

ladygracie glad it wasn't just me then

I like the pot plant idea (shameless place marking)

I would be raging at this point!!!

My DP would love this, he loves a bit of righteous indignation . I just want to know WHY ?! Why 2 spaces, why not her own and why so rude!!

Dam I've probably just gave a solution which will mean no more parking thread.

Hands around blankets and hot water bottles for the wait. You do realise nothing may have happened and op does ave a real life and might work, have other commitments rather than updating..

She wouldn't do that to us Rach. Would she?

Thanks for the HWB

Apparently when my df was a lad he painted cricket stumps onto a van that had parked in the way of whatever article was used as them normally...
owner was slightly nonplussed I gather

Could someone be a darling and post a link to the original penguin bollards thread. I searched but can only find threads with reference to the original thread.

Anyone for a pancake whilst we wait? Bacon and maple syrup?

It was about a year ago and the action all took place in Ryde, IOW. I think the term caulkhead got a few mentions.

HTH (too scared to search myself in case the penguins come after me again)

Kato thank you. I've been looking for these for AGES!

Another Belter! I've lost hours today!

Come oooon... I want to know what happened. OP, be nice and update. It's not like you need to make pancakes or something.

BabyDoughnut has gone down like an angel so I'm waiting for updates patiently rather than clearing up the kitchen

Sorry for the delay, I'm honestly trying my best to be here more often!

Well NAR came home and parked his car next t her passenger door. So I was a bit confused until 5 mins later another car came along and parked next to her drivers door! I don't know who the second car is, maybe a friend of theirs. I'm curtain twitching but no sign of ndn. Everything seems calm outside!

well done NAR and mystery car!

I hope NAR has a plan and doesn't need to go anywhere.
