Poll: AIBAC - someone using my parking space
- Thread starter dowie
- Start date
So say no and let it remain empty 90-95% of the time whilst your neighbor struggles across the car-park juggling kids and groceries almost every day??
Nice, glad I don't have neighbors like you!
She's asking to swap not give it too her for free for christ sake !!!
She probably saw it was empty the vast majourity of the time and thought someone would be kind enough to swap considering it was hardly ever used, what an idiot she is thinking people might be kind, understanding and friendly

It's not hers to use. Our place is first come first served and I have 2 children and shopping to juggle everyday. Maybe I should DEMAND I should have the space that's closest to my door?
edit - the poll options seem to be acronyms for a rude word. I though the rules stated swears had to be FULLY starred out btw (to whomever changed the title and put up the poll).
If in the future it becomes clear it is no longer a big help for her and instead just a convenient luxury then you politely but firmly ask for it back making your excuses.
It's really not a big deal?? Is it
Well that's a very different situation, the OP doesn't have a CAR, kids and it appears from what he says that his car space is vacant the majority of the time!!
Why wouldn't you try to help others, especially if the inconvenience to yourself is so minimal ??
My parents have a little flat down Mersea Island which came with a garage and our next door neighbor asked if he could store his old classic triumph motorbike in there, they said of course, we don't hardly ever use it as we have a outside parking spot also. The sad thing is loads of people today would have seen dollar signs and a situation to make some money rather than helping someone out, how utterly depressing

So much fail.
Cretin is not a swear?
Neither is flippin or fudging, but they are if you star out the last 6 letters.
well the 'kind' thing to do on her part would be to contact the owner of one of those spaces... she's allegedly asked the caretaker and he's messed up there by telling her he doesn't think anyone is using the space, but after the first polite note she just ignored it and then after the second note she doesn't bother moving the car but asks that I ring her to discuss it.
I've got a nice space close to the entrance to my block and with a roof over it, her's is out in the open somewhere a bit further away, she had trouble describing on the phone where her's even was. I really don't see why she needs my space, if it is that much of an issue she should try contacting the owners of another space near the door... though I suspect she just wants mine as it is covered and easy to drive straight into whereas the row where hers is would require some parallel parking.
fact is I own the space, it is on my leasehold agreement along with the flat, there i a chance I might rent the flat out in a couple of months... I've had an issue once before, soon after I moved in, where someone parked in my space (it is rare but happened twice before) and in that case my mum had brought down a bunch of boxes of stuff in her car... we ended up having to drive around the block and park a few streets away as I didn't want to simply grab someone else's space...
I think the other poster's driveway analogy is fine... if my neighbours want to have kids then that is their issue, me owning a nice parking space shouldn't really have anything to do with them. If it was someone I knew and had chatted with and they asked me first then I'd probably agree a temporary swap or something but the way it happened and the way she just left the car there regardless wasn't on IMO.

I would probably struggle not to lose my sense of humour with the cheeky bitch. Tell her to get out of your space before you report her to the police for trespassing. Unbelievable!
If she'd asked me nicely before parking on my property (rather than the bloody caretaker!) then maybe I'd consider being neighbourly. But just plonking herself there? Hell no.

I'd say it is unreasonable and also to be avoided as it is part of your leasehold. It could get messy if you have a verbal agreement that it is her space but it isn't her space etc etc...
