Another car parking RANT!

I am seriously NOT happy!!!


...........And I actually don't care who reads, sees or makes this RANT go viral.


To explain...................


I live in a house within a complex of 12 properties.  There is one allocated parking space per property.


One of my neighbours is having a lot of alterations done to his house and he asked me, a few days ago, if I would mind parking in one of the other spaces for three days because he had a lot of stuff to be delivered/removed etc etc.  My parking space is nearer to his house and he wanted all the delivery people to have easier access.


Obviously I agreed because I am a very nice neighbour??!!


However, whenever anyone else has work done to their property they have to make arrangements for where the workmen can park.  When any of us have people to visit we have to make arrangements for where people can park. Etc,Etc,Etc.


Anyway I have parked my car in one of the other parking spaces because I know its not being used by the owners because it is a 'holiday let' property and there is no one there.


........And now ..................I have just arrived home and found my neighbour parked in my parking space????  This wasn't the deal??  The deal was - they could use my space for workmen for three days???  NOT use my parking space for their own use!!!


I actually like MY parking space.  I bought my house 12 years ago with an 'allocated numbered parking space'.  I like my parking space because it's the furthest space away from the main road and it means I can unload my shopping, let the dog out of the boot, and get into my property easily.


And while I'm having a RANT - the other good thing about my parking space is - another car can actually park behind mine without blocking anyone else in.  For more than 10 years this is what friends have done if they're only popping in for a couple of hours.  Now it would seem that one of the other neighbours doesn't like this.  Apparently it's spoiling her view???


Get over it love!  You buy a house overlooking a car park - expect to see a few cars!!!!


However, out of respect for the neighbours, and because I actually hate confrontation, I've actually asked my friends to park elsewhere.


.....................Won't be doing this anymore.


For the last six weeks, I've had to go knocking on my neighbours door to ask the builders to remove their vehicles every time I go in and out. 


Neighbour that has moaned about my friends parking behind my car for even just 5 mins, (while they pop into my house to pick up my dog), doesn't seem to have a problem with a huge Volvo or van parked right outside her window for weeks on end??  Also didn't seem to have a problem when her daughter was parking a car in the middle of the car park which was only blocking in her car & her boyfriends???


Seems to me that there's 'two rules' going on here.


Not happy!!!  Hence this RANT!!!
