The Cheek!!!!

LundiMardi

Ok, story goes...

I live in a row of apartments, there is parking provided, however nothing is marked out or assigned to each apartment, you basically just park where there's space.

In particular, there is a parking bay just in front of my apartment, now lots of people have cars and sometimes there's not always space, depends on how early you get home. Today i was home and there was sufficient space in front of the apartment so i take advantage, i just learned that the woman next door knocked into us and asked my ma to move my car, because there wasn't sufficient space for her to park and be able to see her car from her apartment, now she didn't mean to park a few feet to the left or right to open up a space for her, she meant move the car to a completely different spot, one which now means that we can't see MY car from the apartment. I am actually completely furious at this, like i said, no spaces are assigned, i had as much right to park there as us, what the christ gives her the right to come and ask me to move!?!?

Am i overeacting at all? Does anyone else find this a tad bit cheeky, and out of order?

imeddyhobbs

you overreacted if you moved the car for your neighbour.

LundiMardi

I didn't move it, my ma did... i only just found out about it... I wouldn't have moved it personally. Obviously.

Welcom to the flat life!

You should just explain that to her but try not to start a row.

Ruu_Old

Go over and knock on her door, ask her to move her car because you can't see your car from your apartment.

Definitely do this!!!!

First come, first served. Explain to the neighbour that she is being unreasonable without starting a row. I had a row with a previous neighbour and it's hassle, tbh.

I prefer the term ''apartment'':D

If its someone else that answers the door then its,
"Excuse me but some ignorant auld cow parked her car here, move it or I'll batter ya!"

Seriously though, chat to your Mam first of all to make sure it doesn't happen again. Do you know this women very well at all? Is she the busy body type? Just go over and ask politely first.

LundiMardi

yeah, i don't wanna start a row, for my ma's sake really... but there's no easy way to say ''NO you fúckin bitch... DIIIIIIIEEEEEE!!!''

LundiMardi

haven't a clue who she is.... just the odd hello when leaving for work in the morning is when we speak. My ma won't say no tho, and i wouldn't be one to answer the door, i'm an antisocial prick:)

Oh, apparently this is the second time she's done this. :rolleyes:

Dont move the car whaterver you do, as suggested, pay her a visit (that sounds very hit-man-esque, I mean to ask her to move etc)

takola

Ok In future keep your car keys on you so your ma has no choice but to come get you if she does this again. Then politely tell her to p**s off.

LundiMardi

Yeah, i told my ma if she asks again, just tell her that i've gone out and took the keys with me or something...

Strokesfan

Don't ever give in to this rubbish again!!!

Then again, it's a hard position to put my ma in, the VERY LAST thing she wants to do is fall out with the neighbour!!

connundrum

I've only recently obtained a car, before this I really didn't care who parked where on my street as it really didn't affect me. Now it has turned into a battle of wits with my surrounding neighbors (geebags).

The space in front of our house should be reserved for cars belonging to us - no?? I'm considering buying some of them traffic cones and seeing how far that gets me

To the OP, pick her car up and throw it in the bin.. bet ya its one of those annoying chickychentos or atoz's. Bin em I say!

Huh? How is it a hard position to put your Mother in? Did I read this probably, a woman knocked on your door and told your Mother to move your car and she did??

There must be something your not telling us?

Dave!

Yes,, yes there is.... my mother is also my father.

Terry

ask her where she parks when she is in work.
i guarantee it's either on some narrow street or else a dodgy car park where they whore out your car while you're in work.

Weird...



The only way I could see your neighbour being reasonable is if there is only space for 2 cars outside both apartments and your family are taken up both, is this the case or is your neighbour just crazy?

I have recently bought a house in an estate with 5 houses in all and 4 parking spaces. Three houses have private drives. Mine and my neighbours do not. I understand that I own one parking space with my house and my neighbour owns one also. The other 2/3 spaces (depending on size of cars), belong to the estate in general. In my opinion my visitors have a right to park there on a temporary basis. I am on my own and only have one car. My neighbour has 2 cars and parks both in the car park and she has now given permission to someone who lives in a neighbouring estate to park there on a permanent basis every night. That leaves no space for my visitors. Does he have a right to park there? Do I have a right to tell him he can't? Like your story the other houses say it's nothing to do with them as they don't use the car park anyway. (But someday they might require the space). I've checked with the Gardai and they say while its nothing to do with them, this person could claim the space in a couple of years as his because "He's always parked there". I don't know what to do, I'm at my wits end and I've had a row with my neighbour who simply can't see what I'm telling her. She thinks I'm simply trying to bully her into changing her mind. She has two children who may one day have a car each and I have one child. There is no parking outside our houses unless we park up on the footpath. Any suggestions. I've been to the Town Council who can't give me a straight answer. I've rang the builders who also can't give me a straight answer and I cannot get my Solicitor to answer my calls or talk to me (but that's nothing new, she's very busy).

Hail 2 Da Chimp

Spray paint your appartment number on the ground of the parking space you want... problem solved!

Why would you lie? If you legitimally have a right to park there, i.e. the space works on a first come first served basis your neighbour has no right to ask you to move your car.

I'd say she had a case if the space was directly outside her house and you lived a few doors down and tbh, you could see where she's coming from.

Is there more to this story than you're telling us?

Unless it's private property, by rights anybody can park there and your neighbour giving the other person permission is irrevlevant.

What I'd do, if the neighbour was unwilling to be reasonable about it, is get a friend to park an unused car in the space for a couple of weeks and therefore the other person would have no other choice but to find somewhere else to park........although that might not be possbile for you to do and it could easily turn into a battle of wills.

Is her car a lot more expensive than yours? Perhaps more likely to be stolen?

Sam Vimes

was her car a mercedes? don't you realise they own the road?

Yes there is. Just precede it with "Would you be offended if I said ...."

The space in front of your house isn't yours to park in exclusively but it is common courtesy. I doubt traffic cones would get you anywhere. But that said, I live near Croke Park abd traffic cones on match days are my best friend. A lot of people put them outside their houses leaving me plenty of space to park when I return from some where as I have no problems at all moving their cones and parking outside their house.

Sounds like the toe-rag i used to live beside............some people have some nerve. Obviously full of her own importance.

Leave a note for your mother to give to her from you should she knock again.

just saying i dont think it would matter in which spot you park your car, how can you possibly see it with your head stuck up your hole like that. Yours sincerely...........
