    I wasn't being pedantic, it was your grammar, not spelling...

    I think I lived near you, or someone very much like you.

    We lived in a cul-de-sac with lots of parking spaces, it was very rare not to find a space.

    On one rare occasion there was only one space, on the other side of the road to the one I usually parked on.

    In the morning I came rushing out to take my son to an emergency doctors appointment only to find my car blocked in by some moron who wanted the spot outside his house.

    When I politely explained the situation and asked him to move his car he became abusive, and told me he had every right to block me in because it was 'his space'. The worse thing about it was that he had an old car, flat tyres, not taxed and broken glass parked in the next space, which was outside someone else's house and had not moved for years.

    There is a middle school at the end of my street but the teacher car park only have enough spaces for half of the teachers so the rest all park on the avenue opposite the school. This makes the road very narrow to get through on a week day.
  • Why do so many people heckle the OP about his problem and what seems to be a national problem?

    I can understand why some people get frustrated with people parking outside their house, then walk off to the own houses in another street - wouldn't that annoy you? But equally, if there is no parking, then where does one park their car?

    There are so many front gardens converted into carparks at the moment and drivers assume that their driveway must be kept clear and leave nasty notes on those who dare to park in front of their driveway.

    This is a national problem - we have far too many people living on this island, not enough space and more cars per household than is really necessary. What's the solution? No idea yet that would suit everyone...

    before anyone asks, I don't lilve in a big mansion :)

    The solution is to either put up with it and not be so territorial or buy your own land to park on. Parking on a public road outside your house isn't a God given right.
