OT That's all the stress and relief released.
After a hard weeks work (I worked all weekend) I would like to thank the
girlfriends neighbour for giving me the opportunity to get rid of my anger. I just called at the gf's with a pizza to share and I could not get parked ouside her house so I parked outside someone elses house. They came round and knocked on the door and said "Can you move your van, I want to park my car outside my house?" I just went ballastic. "Well if I move the van you wouldn't be ****ing wanting would you? So I am doing you a ****ing favour by parking the ****ing van there. Now **** off off before I kick you up and down the ****ing garden". I then did a bit of swearing and threatening behavior before he left. So so relaxing. I feel much better. -- Adam |

Well, quite - it's all a bit give and take in crowded streets and eventually you get 'your' parking space back. No biggie, who really cares. |

Well, quite - it's all a bit give and take in crowded streets and eventually you get 'your' parking space back. No biggie, who really cares. Yup, happens here all the time. People park outside every morning because they're too tight to use the station car park. This morning, someone was waiting, parked across a driveway up the road, for me to pull out of my space. But I do draw the line at getting complaints (when parked outside my house), from commuters who say I'm parked in 'their' space! -- Use the BIG mirror service in the UK: http://www.mirrorservice.org *lightning protection* - a w_tom conductor |

Ask to see the deeds to "their" piece of road. Might be a bad idea, in t'olden days, deeds were drawn up showing ownership of the whole plot out to the middle of the road. Yes the road will have been adopted (so anyone with a tax disc can use it) but the registry entry may still show the full outline. -- fred it's a ba-na-na . . . . |

Ask to see the deeds to "their" piece of road. I was looking at the deeds for someone else's house. It said they owned up to the centre line of the road, but they have to let everyone else use that land. Effectively, they have less rights to park outside their house than anyone else does. Apparently, this is very common. -- Andrew Gabriel [email address is not usable -- followup in the newsgroup] |

Neighbours had a party last week - no problem - except their lazy, selfish, inconsiderate, ****witted guests parked two or three cars deep outside their house despite there being loads of free parking spaces a couple of minutes walk away. Not a problem if all the cars belonged to party guests, but on three occasions I had to go out and remonstrate with ****wits blocking MY car in. By the third one I was getting rather sweary too. These were all middle aged-to-elderly people who one would have thought would know better. Neighbour had the decency to come round and apologise, but I told him he needn't be apologising for the thoughtlessness and selfishness of his guests - if anyone was going to be apologising, it should be them. -- (\_/) (='.'=) (")_(") |

He could spotted the problem and asked them to clear the double parking without having to be asked. That's what I would have done but wouldn't have needed to as my friends a) wouldn't have been so inconsiderate and b) like a good bucket so wouldn't have been driving. -- fred it's a ba-na-na . . . . |
