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!

What are you going to do if she starts parking in your spaces again once NAR had seen her off? You will be honour bound to replicate NAR's tactics or else his efforts will be all for nought .

You will have to move the second thread too, I suspect. Grin

The two threads together have a pretty good dramatic structure. I reckon you could make a silent film out of this that people in other countries could identify with.

Thanks Becca! But you shouldn't need to move the other one unless MNHQ starts deleting AIBU threads after a time...
