Petty parking problem

punisher5112 · 01-09-2019 8:16pm

It's a well known condition.....

They believe that they own the space to outside their property when in fact it's any bodies to use once vehicle is road legal....

You will never win with this type. They have more time then sense.... Which makes them quite dense ;-)

Yea this is probably true, its not something you're going to win, but you can have a bit of fun. I'd leave a nail on either side of his tyre facing upwards, so when he moves it he'll get the puncture rather than come out to it flat. So he won't know where he got it. Repeat until you get bored. Then report the tax thing.

It's between our house but mostly mine. He's at it again today driving off and herself sitting behind it immediately to move down the spot.

Any chance you could cut in between him and her to get the spot after him?

Evening lads, have a funny one here. Outside the house is one spot, and I know it's first come first served and all that and I've no problem with that as we're a two car household and space for 3 in the garden so its fine. But... Our (lovely :pac:) neighbours park out there each evening, but once she leaves she makes her husband park his car outside just to keep the spot, and leave their garden empty. It's unbelievably petty and has made birthdays and occasions awkward for parking, but I've noticed his car hasn't a single in-date disc in the window. I'm curious of the legalities of his car being there if anybody can advise

Thats an A hole. Id race them to the spot

Did you burn out their car yet?

Yeah, I don't think I'd be as patient as the op, I would have had that car smouldering long before now

If the car can be identified the council will take pictures of the car and post them to the last registered owner of the vehicle, notifying them of the obstruction...t.

But it's not causing an obstruction as such.

Its not an opel zafira by any chance... you may just need to wait it out.

DuckSlice · 05-09-2019 8:55am

Jack it up put trays under the back wheels and push it out of the way, then take the trays out.

Midnight_EG · 05-09-2019 9:51am

I've got a car parked there now the last 2 days, yesterday herself (the neighbour) came home and shouted 'WHO THE F*CK OWNS THAT' and I smugly laughed in the house :pac:

Tazzimus · 05-09-2019 9:54am

Be interesting to see their reaction to the situation being reversed now.
Somehow I don't think they'll be as relaxed about it as you were.

Keep an eagle eye out for damage to your car O.P.

punisher5112 · 05-09-2019 10:43am

CCTV time.....

GBX · 05-09-2019 10:46am

Is it a public space or parked on the road?
Sounds like your living next door to a lovely bunch

Public road, anyone can park there.

punisher5112 · 05-09-2019 10:50am

Should start a tag team where boards members park there.

That's essentially what I'm doing, except it's only me and one other member but he has 10 or something cars to keep switching out :cool:

Selfish and inconsiderate neighbours are a huge problem. They can actually affect the quality of life in a locality.

Buy a scrap heap and park it in their driveway...see how they like it.

If the car is parked in a public place and has no tax on it then report it to the Gardaí, if its out more than 3 months, they can tow it away and if its less they can slap a ticket/fine on it. Report it every day until they do something about it, its not like you have anything to lose.

Not all heros wear capes. We should have a whip round to buy them a cape.

Buy an old banger and park it there yourself, permanently.

DaveyDave · 05-09-2019 4:10pm

I don't understand why people are so petty. My neighbor parks their car outside their house, which is fine, but they do it within an inch of the driveway on their side. Our gardens are offset and my sister parks outside our house so when I reverse in it's fairly tight, if they park right up to their driveway I can't reverse from there, I have to turn at the previous house and reverse down to my garden.

The house beside them only has one car and never has any visitors so there's no need to be entirely on their own half.

I reckon they don't want anyone parking outside their garden, but parking that close just to make my life difficult is likely on purpose as it's more recent.

The Guards can't tow it unless it's causing obstruction though. I think what the op is doing now is legendary

they likely do this around the same time each evening. Get in your car around this time, engine running and as soon as she moves, park there- if you can at all, leave it there for a few days- but if you leave, get your partner to replace it with their car- you'll have made your point very clearly and I don't think you'll have this problem anymore.

Did Duke buy that civic because he's parking the rest of his cars at your house?

Duke is over the other side of the city to me, but I'd welcome his cars

antodeco · 06-09-2019 9:54am

Haha. Ive a small collection of cars that I can park parallel in the space to annoy them more?

I would have swapped you my 1990 Alto for 60 smokes, taxed and all :P that’s a car that’ll really upset the neighbors

TheChizler · 06-09-2019 10:52am

So we have a car that has no business being there using the space as a way to teach someone who sort of has business using the space, so who's petty?

Space isn't owned by anyone, so anyone can park there.
I could park there if I wanted, and it was free.

This reaction would worry me slightly, watch out for escalation. Make sure they can't tie this to you.

Fair play, I wouldn't be annoying a couple of obvious loopers that live beside me but each to their own.

punisher5112 · 06-09-2019 12:26pm

I think it's hilarious, because these types will be stressing over it.... Absolutely love it.

There is a road space outside my house and I couldn't care less who parks in it only the tools that can't park and park across the drive

rabbitinlights · 06-09-2019 1:44pm

This is like a window sitter trying to take the middle arm rest. They must be punished.

you're quite right of course, first come first served , and if they want to hog it, there's not a lot you can do about it.

You clearly haven't read the last few posts, something is being done, and we're hoping for constant updates as to the neighbours outrage :pac:
