Sweet Revenge

lovewales

After numerous arguments with the family over the road about the fact that I like to park my car outside my house and they feel the need to park all 4 of theirs as close as possible to their front door. I took revenge after they nearly reversed into my car to try and block me in again....

Anyhow their cars seem to run on water as they fill all of them frequently using a watering can which they fill up from what I think may be a water butt in the garage so I thought HM customs and revenue may like to know :twisted:

I feel so much better now.

My brother in law complains about the guy next door parking outside my house, in "his" space when he comes over, not realising the irony that the guy next door does actually does live on this street :roll:

I've had many a run in with my nextdoor but one neighbours about parking in there space, I live in a pavement fronted terraced house. Then again these are the people who opposed our neighbour who has motornerone disease having a disabled bay outside there house as it would affect the value of there house. Keep saying that I'll knock there 17 year old daughter up and blame her kid brother just to really give them something to complain about

To be honest I don't care about parking in a space outside my house but obviously if there is one I will park there, we live in road where hardly anyone parks on the road, their argument is that I always park so that there isn't a big enough gap infront or behind to park a car in (there is if they knew that their cars have a reverse gear) so insist on parking as close as they can. The thing is I am usually the first one to park in an eve and their parking means that the rest of them can not park.

It just them that see it as there automatic right to park 4 cars outside their house all the time and have space everytime they return.

I am sick of teh attitude of the daughter who usually starts sentences "I am not being funny but" or stands in the road shouting like a fish wife, I was cleaning the windows when she nearly reversed into our car so pointed out that she was just being petty and that there was space fro at least 5 cars in front of ours.

Being in a terrace house I occasionally park in front of the neighbour's front door, They don't own a car, however 3 weeks back she knocked on my door in the rain, baby in her arms telling me to park further back as I was "in her parking space" and "I know we don't own a car, but you're in our space" WTF? I asked her what her point was and again she reminded me that I was parked in her space. I closed the door on her.. very rude but f*ckit

No, I haven't changed my parking habits, how I park exactly depends on how far back/forward the other neighbour parks... and I never fully understood the point she was trying to make... no they still don't own any form of motorised vehicle. They don't have a PC in their house or any form of Internet connection either.

Is it me?

Whether they own a car or not, in a terrace house, they don't own the road at all. End of. You can park where you like. Tell them to phone the police if they have an issue, they'll just laugh.

My parents live in a terrace house, all the neighbours get on with each other, so parking is generally ok. But when a 'strangers' car is parked outside, wo betide that poor sod

Why would you buy a house that doesn't have a drive or a garage? Terrace houses are for poor people so they dont build them in areas with parking space.

I didn't buy it... I rent it and it's not ideal, but it's home and has ample space.
Relocation is in the cards for the latter part of this year, but short term as I leave the country [again] in 2013 [for good]

Jay12, when I go you can have all my bikes and workshop stuff. If you're old enough to drive I'll thrown in a nice soft top Land Rover Defender 90 too seeing as I never use it

now i think the same of you as before, shame.

speaking of moving countries i really want to move to canada, looks so good over there

Is it not hard as nails to get into Canada (from a residency point of view)?

One of the crazy things here about parking is that when new apartment buildings are built, a lot of the time they build them with fewer parking spaces than apartments (with people building the garage space as an extra...you always get one arsehole who buys up two or three spaces as well). Parking on the street here isn't advisable either. I had a client who was buying a new flat in the same building where she lived because it had parking spaces. When I asked why, she told me her car had been broken into 4 times in 6 months...madness

It's a fact you know, my geography teacher told us on a field trip to "the Priory estate" in Dudley before they flattened that side as it was that wretched !

And rest assured in 2013 Andy, you'll still be driving a forklift truck for a living and staying with your folks...

and you'll still be ugly. The happy world cycle goes on.

i heard it's not that bad. as long as you have no criminal records etc and have good qualifications then chances are you will get in

If I was to leave Uruguay then Canada would probably be an option. Seems to be a good quality of life there (and obviously it has the outdoor stuff). Not having to learn a new language is also a bonus (let's face it...you won't be moving to Quebec)

Indeed. Not sure how the wife would handle their winters though. She struggled enough with winter in Scotland

So that's me f*cked then! Pah, Canada, who needs it when you can go the USA?

My sincere apologies to anyone I offended with my previous, over the top and totally uncalled for comment.

You do have to be an adult though. Otherwise you're just a victim of trafficking.

Although kids tend to follow their parents around.. well most do anyway
