OK which poster was this? (Angry over someone parking outside your house)

So he parked in a residents only parking zone and was asked to move by the resident who wants to park his own car outside his own home. Surely the decent thing to do is park somewhere else, looks to be plenty of space over the road.

Just curious, but what's so "fail" about the daily mail? At least it's not propaganda ridden like the rest of them.

Sorry what? The Daily Mail is known to be one of the most sensationalist and untruthful 'papers' out there.

How so? I'd have assumed you'd at least need the permission of the home owner/occupier to block their dropped kerb - otherwise presumably you can get their vehicle taken away.

Edit - actually I've just googled and answered my own question, you're indeed correct, so long as you're not blocking someone in then apparently you can park there.

Inviting the mother of all breaches of the peace, and the authorities would no doubt wonder why.

I used to live in end terrace with small Windows, one summers day some bright spark parked there huge work van outside blocking all the light. I had to spend all weekend in darkness, he returned on Monday morning to two flat tyres. Never parked there again!

If there was such a thing as natural justice and karma, it wouldn't have been light not coming in that you
would have been concerned about, it would have been wind and rain coming through your missing windows.

People park outside my loving room window. It's a public road. I just deal with it.

What does annoy me slightly is the guy who parks there at eleven o'clock at night and proceeds to use the world's loudest hands free kit.

He probably needs one hand free, while looking through your loving room window.

I know, I have one in central London, no roos or dingos either.

I'll take exacerbating a situation over being disrespected by another man who isn't much bigger and stronger than me in front of my girlfriend. I'm all for a diplomatic solution but you look incredibly weak acting like that and you'll lose a lot if respect from your partner if you're unable to stand up for yourself.

I don't need to seem outwardly masculine and dominant to the point it seems like I'm overcompensating for something or desperately insecure, but I wouldn't let someone who is a physical dumpster stand there and disrespect me in front of my girlfriend. Your girlfriend would probably feel intimidated by that large man screaming at you both, and if her partner is a sniveling wimp who allows him to do that then she'll probably go find someone who's at least willing to show he has a backbone and a pair strapped on. That's the minimum.

Yeah, the girls love it when their short-fused men resort to physical violence over parking disputes.

Someone I know has a stomach like that - I used to comment on it to mates till one said he has cancer and had so many operations on his gut's he is afraid it might bust open. - Might not be the case with this guy though.

Never judge unless you know for sure.

Cancer patients can be arse holes too, it's not a magic shield

I'm not sure where you're reading that I've said go and assault him. The options aren't a) sit in the car like a rabbit caught in the headlights or b) physically attack him. There's an option between where you show you aren't intimidated and stand up for yourself without escalating the situation to violence. You're more likely to be attacked if you don't show that you'll stand up for yourself ironically.

There's also the option to read the situation and decide that it's not really worth escalating it any further when it's not going to change anything. The guy was parked, fatman was only ever going to stand there and get more irate until he ends up out of breath and waddles back indoors to watch daytime TV again.

He's also in a car marked up as BSM so it probably wouldn't reflect well on him if he starts confronting the man pointlessly.

Looks like he's just eaten another car who parked there previously.
