Bloke uses our road as a Car Park

[Kenai]

Not at all.

I agree, slashing someone's tyres for parking somewhere would make you a bit of a numpty. However, saying it and doing it are two different things.

Considering the repercussions of him doing that, he's also said that he wouldn't do it. Thus, not so much a numpty.

for example...If I could rig the lottery so I could win, I would certainly do it...! but knowing the end result... nuh uh!

I don't like jail. I'm far too pretty and I'd get well and truly bummed

No, he hasn't said he wouldn't do it, he reaffirmed that he definitely would. I think you're confusing different people in the thread now.

He's a ***** and my viewpoint hasn't changed, regardless of 'saying or doing'.

 

[Schlong&Stable]

Well you were the one flapping your gums about slashing tyres like some sort of braindead neanderthal.

I was discussing a hypothetical.

Why are you so upset, did someone slash your tyres? Are you the car owner by any chance?

In what way is a car parked safely on the street "inconveniencing" anyone?

If it's a street with a lot of cars, then it can absolutely inconvenience people. What if someone on the street is disabled or has a young child and suddenly they cannot get parked near their house and have to park around the corner? It may not be the end of the world, but it's absolutely an inconvenience. One that could be avoided if the car owner used a car park.

 

[Bubo]

There's plenty of room to get past there, don't know what all the fuss is about.

 

[Camalot]

I got shouted at for parking outside someone's house once, they even had a driveway!! I wasn't blocking it at all either.

Its really silly if you ask me, surely there's more important things to worry about ? I can understand if its causing obstruction but from the PIC I can't see any ?

I wouldn't bother mate, if they are not happy about it let them deal with it tbh.

Although there is no legal reason he cannot park there, I'd argue he's being extremely selfish in doing so. He doesn't live there, but he's being an inconvenience to those who do. If someone repeatedly parked outside mine like that, I'd absolutely slash their tires if I thought I could get away with it.

Not asking you to change your viewpoint, but I think its harsh to be flinging around names!

Surely with that logic anyone ever parking on a street is potentially causing an inconvenience?

 

[Glaucus]

Yes.

They are doing absolutely nothing wrong. It's not "your" road. You have no right to determine how it is used by motorists and taking action against him for doing nothing more than annoying you makes you pond scum of the worst kind.

Allready said many times +1

It's not your road, you have no right to park outside your house on the road, they are well within their rights to park there, and you would be absolute scum if you damaged there car. You need to take a chill pill and realise your the one in the wrong.

You blind, pal?

Don't worry - it won't happen

Keying is off the cards, don't worry posters.

For the avoidance of any doubt at all - I will not key the bloody car!

 

[wildman]

That's not exclusive to your street, few people go mental when they can't park in front of their door in most places.

then they should stop being peasants and buy a decent god damn house with a drive and a double garage....... f

 

[Glaucus]

Keying is off the cards, don't worry posters.

For those saying it's not a problem, sure I do see your point and understand that whilst it's only one car - what if the problem were to grow and more and more people parked their cars outside people's houses for days on end?

Still not an issue, you have no rights, lived in many city houses where sometimes you can park outside, sometimes it's 4 streets away. So no 1 day or 6months, it makes no difference. You need to clear your head of this presumed right that doesn't exist.

 

[p1RATE]

i really dont see how this affects your life in any way. Why you want to confront this person and cause him greif for doing nothing wrong is completely beyond me.

Seriously its time to grow up.

No one said it's a right.

 

[pitchfork]

It's a free country, I refuse to pay for parking as well, always find a road to park in.

As I said in my first post - I am well aware that I have 'no rights' and at no point did I claim to have any. All I've ever said is that quite simply it's a nuisance for the neighbours across the road and asked if anybody had similar problems in their area.

It's astonishing how many people respond with inflammatory comments.

 

[Puzzled]

Completely legal. I often have to leave my car down a residential street a mile or so away for a week at a time due to city centre parking restrictions being so tight.

I can understand its annoying but no-one has a right to a parking spot on a public road. He / She is rather silly for parking in the same spot each time though.

 

[PlacidCasual]

Why would you even contemplate damaging another person's property for no reason? Yes that makes you a ****er as you so eloquently put it. Why wish or think about something like that? I'd put your keyboard down if I were you, you might hurt yourself.

There is a world of difference between imagining the satisfaction you might feel however unjustified and actually doing it. There is a very modern fixation for policing peoples thoughts rather than their actions.

I find it hard to imagine there is a person on this forum who has not at least once wished someone ill. We are civilisaed because we don't act on those impulses not because we don't have them. Crap on stick I get the feeling sometimes that our society would actively embrace a world of newspeak where no unsanctioned thought could be held because language couldn't articulate it.

As to my liberal use of expletives I was holding mirror to the numerous posts describing the OP as such for holding and sharing a wrong thought. As opposed to having admitted to carrying out on that action.

Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us especially when we only thought about trespassing.

Nobody really reads things is the problem, I think! They just like a good argument over bugger all, alas, some can't even do that properly!

I still think you are scum of the earth for keying that poor mans car though

Great reply - thank you

Yes I agree people often contemplate negative things... but to air it in public is almost that little bit more of a threat rather than a passing thought wouldn't you say? I don't think it is fair to censor people's thoughts, but having indignation towards someone airing a vitriolic act in a matter-of-fact sort of manner is where I think people got riled.

Yeh it's a GD thing. Lots of professional wind-up merchants in here.

Have you tried contacting your council? Sometimes you can apply for residential parking permit zones if the street is particularly constrained. I wouldn't expect a quick turnaround though. Get support from neighbours if you can.

It's not inflammatory, it's obviusly how you feel. Between that and your later comments.
Forget about and and stop getting wound up by nothing.
