Aibu over lady using my parking spaces.

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!

Marking place! I can't get over the cheek of some people. This sort of attitude is just beyond my comprehension yet seems increasingly common.

I'm giving up Mumsnet for Lent - could this please be all sorted out by 11 tonight please? There's time for lots of drama between now & then.
I also love NAR - he's fab!!

AmarettoSour · 17/02/2015 19:54

I hope NAR has a third car waiting in the wings to take him to work tomorrow Grin

Rainbunny · 17/02/2015 19:58

If you own the parking spaces themselves then you would surely be well within your rights to paint your house number and a "Private Restricted Parking" message or something on the space. Heck, I'd put a sign stating parking violators will be towed.

idiuntno57 · 17/02/2015 20:00

ladygracie you do know that lent is not observable on Sundays don't you?

britnay · 17/02/2015 20:01
