    Are they blocking your path so that you cant get out ofit, or are you maybe exagerating a tiny bit.
    Would you have to climb over thecar to get out.

    Loool... err... well maybe a wee exageration. I mean I wouldn't have to climb over their bonet, but I would have to ues the neighbours access.

    Ok... am thinking perhaps I need to get over this lol. But I do think the neighbours are doing it to annoy me. There are TWO carparks next to each other lol no reason to park in front of our path. Think I'll just take the shopping past their car and if I bump it, then it's their fault.

    I really wouldnt recommend it, if you scratched the car and someone saw yu, you would be liable for the damage.

    Just keep parking yor car in the car park, it will show them that you dont care.
    Good luck.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    How do you think anyone else knows that you think you own the space outside your flat?

    I live on the corner of a terraced street and get people parking outside my house. It's annoying, but there's nothing I can do about it. The fact that my corner is the closest free parking to the town centre doesn't help matters.

    My only gripe with people is when they don't park considerately. You can easily fit two cars outside the front of the property, but they park right in the middle effectively taking up two 'spaces'. So I have to park around the corner when if they'd just shuftied up a little I could have parked next to them.

    Probably not Mark, probably someone else would have beaten you to it so then you'd have two of the gubbers outside your door. :rotfl::rotfl:

    RANT ALERT :eek:

    I know it sounds unfair, but I think if I don't use the space, then no-one should. It's inconvinient as it blocks our path and it's just annoying to see someone else's car constantly in front of your property! If I park there, I don't mind walking past my own car as I can move it if I need to, I benefit more from having the space. However, I am inconvinienced if someone else parks there, with no benefit to myself. The use of that space also annoys most of my neighbours who find it difficult to access the carpark. It seems to generate a lot of problems!

    So am I crazy? Please help it's driving me nuts lol! :mad:

    Are you crazy? I would say YES!!

    What you said above is that you are annoying most of your neighbours as parking there makes accessing the car park more difficult but you are moaning about others parking there??

    So its ok for your car to be an inconvenience but you dont want anyone else to park there?
