I have a neighbour that thinks they own not only the road outside their house but also our drives. Had her son round threatening because I was working on my Landy on the drive etc. Got a mouthful off them for putting one of our cars on the street outside theirs for all of 10 minutes while I moved something down the drive to the garage.

came home in the disco a couple days later and they had a lwb transit parked across my driveway and were sat having a chat. I asked them to move and got the old “yeah two seconds mate just sorting something” soon moved when I got out and started unspooling the winch cable. Tossers

A strange legal loophole means anyone can park on your driveway - and there's not much you can do about it.

id fit a nail grid so theres no way there getting that car off without destroying those tyres of theres

We have an oddball here -

Bins have always been moved to the corner of the lane in Thursday night for the waggon on Friday morning, as the waggon does not fit down the lane.

There's a bit of "common" ground on the corner.

New chap moves in. Reckons the common ground is his garden. Not happy with people leaving the bins on the road by 'his' garden, and starts moving them about.

Thing is, everyone knows he is a knob. But, at the end of the day, life is too short to have petty feuds with neighbours, so people just leave him to it.

Park the van where you like. Make sure it's legal, and, eventually, they will either try and grass you up to someone for somthing (invite in the inspectors, be incredibly nice, offer them tea and biscuits and you won't hear from them again) or they will get bored and find somthing else.

I almost envy people like that. Their lives are so perfect so as to be disrupted by such small things - most of the rest of us are too busy trying to stay alive to give a stuff who's van is parked in the street.

Looking at it from another viewpoint.....
Is there something you are doing that you could easily not do that would stop any friction?
Do you have a drive and not park in it? Are you parking outside their house rather than your own?

Life's too short to have to even think of neighbours like that, whether you are in the right or not.

I don't believe so

We have a driveway, But no empty spaces. Their house is several houses down the road & I don't park anywhere near them.

I really don't see my parking being an issue, So I will continue until I leave the country which is only a couple of months away

There is a parking soap opera going on with several of the council house occupants near us. They have private off street parking but are too lazy to walk up the few stairs to their back doors. One household has three vehicles and they text each other to shuffle their three cars, intentionally taking up more than four spaces so there's plenty of room for them to command the street. Glad we're far enough away, as it might not be so entertaining to watch.

My wife said the other day, " our village use to have neighbours, but now, its just people who live next door ". Unfortunately, that pretty much says it all about our modern world.

No they don't, But I would happily explain the situation if they were willing to talk like reasonable people

The houses opposite us are terraces and a bloke down the road has a bike and a van that he leaves outside his house. If anyone parks there while he is out he puts the van in front and blocks them in with the bike. The houses front onto the pavement and he even put a sign in the window warning people not to park there. Last week as I was coming in I noticed he had a new addition to the front wheel of the van, a big yellow DVSA clamp

On street parking can get a bit out of hand,lost count of the times I have had to go door banging so I can get our kit onto some sites. Always met with the same brainless garb " we dont want trucks coming down our road" I remind them that if they were trapped in a house that was ablaze they may be a tad grateful a truck could get through without a long delay.

Daughter and I went to look at a house to buy, seemed nice, quiet, end of a close, good price. I went round with the dog later one evening for a look and found two big scruffy builders flat beds parked out front, side by side, effectively turning the view out the front window into a builders yard and blocking the turning area at the end of the road, and making it impossible to get in and out of the driveway without some shuffling about.

They are still there, every night, obviously a couple of guys who live in that close. Some people have very different ideas of what is acceptable and normal. It’s legal to park there, but it’s not very nice.

The street we live in, We have the biggest drive, but only one car. Every other house has at least two cars, some have four, and one single drive...and flowers and grass out front.....

I totally understand this situation, But mine isn't anything similar on that scale

 

[fixerupper]

Yes ..when we lived in the UK ,I had a woman bang on the window as I was parking in our street one evening "you can't park there my husband parks there ".....it was a street of terraced houses with most houses having two cars ....I just moved it I just can't be bothered trying to explain to folk like that ...
