Went to the car on Saturday to find a notice posted under the wiper. The notice was asking me not to park in front of his house, and he'd put the house no. on it. Now I've lived in this house for nearly 20yrs, and I've never had any notice under my wiper before. So I give the guy the benefit of the doubt, and post a note through his letter box, stating that I'll make every effort to park elsewhere if there's room elsewhere. I don't know who lives there, but for all I know it could be someone that's got difficulty walking.
Anyway, after putting the note through his door, I notice a sign on the house:- "TO LET"
So I've just had my first parking complaint since 1988, from someone who doesn't even live in the street.................
GRRRRRRRRR!!

Modify his sign with the addition of an extra i and see how long it takes to change. And just carry on parking wherever there is a space.

I would, but it's mounted above the upstairs window, and my step-ladder's not long enough! I'll keep on parking there if necessary, and see if he decides to call the Police. with any luck he'll get done for wasting Police time..... |

Funny but I had a similar note and since then I've had a wing mirror on the polo damaged and my Golf keyed whilst parked outside the same house. Coincidence? I'll probably never know.
Park where you like, you pay your road tax.

It's just petty suburbanites marking their territory. Curtain-twitchers. Men that have spent the last 30 years as a middle manager in a factory that makes jam jar lids. People who have said the words "what would the neighbours think?" without a hint of irony.
To hell with them all.

These people think they own the whole street. Screw 'em. I think I'd be even more inclined to park there from now on. |

with BenzBoy on that one - I'd make it a point of using the space outside his place even if the rest of the street was vacant....... depending on if the walk to your place is worth getting under his skin ;D

Bloody hell, all this is a bit extreme for the sake of a note under the windscreen!  I suggest tipping off MI5 that he's running a terrorist training camp in his back yard. Get your phone cam out and wait for SO19... |

How about getting on of those little laser pens and mounting it on the end of a toy gun, then every time he leaves the house aim it at his chest.
He'll be needing a psychicitrist (s/p?) in no time.

sounds like he's letting out the house, and your car is. in his opinion, letting down the view from his house, if i were you id do nothing, life is too short
or, go out and buy a scrap van, LWB merc or similar, then park it outside his house in the early hours of the morning, and don't move it until the tax runs out
muppets like this i have first hand knowledge of, a neighbour of mine last year had hot tar poured all over his 1999 vectra - because he parked outside an unoccupied house, where the puppy-farming, embezzling pensioner across the road usually parked, most of the tar came off - as it was still hot - but the vectra owner is now planning his revenge.

Just wait go round there in the dead of night and spray 'Paedo' across the front of his house, then wait for the neighbours to hound in out and into hiding...
Or, if he's rarely in, buy half a dozen bottles of milk and papers, put them on the doorstep, then phone the police to say you've not seen your elderly neighbour for a few days and you're really concerned - they'll be round there with a sledgehammer in no time to smash his front door in without you having to raise a finger...
