Parking outside your own house

...knock on his door...when he answers, punch him in the throat and tell him to keep his f'ing car out of the street...

Just moved into a new house with a drive big enough for one car. We have two cars so we have one on the drive and one parked out front. Now, my neighbour also has two cars but a smaller drive so he parks half way onto my side of the house which means i have to struggle to parallel park to get my car outside the house. Sometimes he's parked that far across onto our side i have to leave my car further down the street. He does this so his car isn’t over his drive and his Mrs can come and go as she pleases.
He’s retired so hardly goes out except when we’re at work so his car is parked half way outside our house all day/night. The final straw came today, my dad came round while he was out so he parked upto the fence post. When my neighbour got back he had to park across his own drive. When my dad left, my neighbour must have come out of his house, pulled his car forward onto our side and gone back in.

To say i’m annoyed is an understatement, he must be able to see me and the Mrs struggling to park outside our house or has seen our cars parked down the street yet still parks half way outside our house just so his Mrs can get on and off their drive without him having to move his car!!

Anyone one had any similar problems with their neighbours and how have you dealt with it?

If he pays road tax he's got as much right as you mate.

true but there is an unwritten rule with this. Parking wars are a nightmare, when we moved into my house my wife had only just passed her test and she struggled to get in and out if someone parked facing our drive, you could park anywhere along a 100m strip but one of my neighbours son's continued to park facing my drive even though I'd twice asked him nicely to park further down, he took no notice so it was either twat him or twat his beloved BMW, I didn't fancy spending time in court so I got in my old clapped out Escort stuck it in reverse and leathered it straight into his pride and joy. It cost me in the long run via insurance but it felt great and the **** hasn't parked there since and its been 13 years.

Throw some horse shit through his letter box. That'll teach the twat.

At first i think the reasonable thing to do would be to calmly draw attention to it, see if you drop it into conversation while he appears to be in a good mood.

Sell your cars and go everywhere by bus or bike.

Edward de Bono taught me lateral thinking.

I would knock on with the intention of being amicable and calm but i can get very heated quite easily (hence why im posting this on here to blow off some steam). I don't want to go upsetting people just yet as its the first house the mrs and I have bought.

No.

Put a horse's head in his bed while he's asleep.

If that doesn't do it then let us know.

Get him to speak to you first.
Motorhead, Ace of Spades at 2 in the morning usually works.
Then when he comes round to complain you can bring up the parking problem.

A guy who I used to live next door ALWAYS did this. Especially in the afternoons when the ex would go work, he'd have to pull hsi car forward a few inches so It was exactly in line with the view from his living room window, I once timed him at 47 seconds.

and he was a rag, with boz as fuck eyes.
