Parking Wars.........

[Loosehead]

Related to a Q below, I was wondering what induces people to believe they own the road outside their house? Why do they think they alone have a right to park outside their own house? I just think it's case of non joined up thinking.

Loosehead, you are right ,it really p****es me off when I see someone has put traffic cones outside their house to reserve their " parking space". To be honest it is like a red rag to a bull for me,and I will remove the cones ,either put them in my car or toss them to one side and park my car there even if I have further to walk . My car is insured and taxed and I have every right to park on a public highway,so long as I am not breaking any laws. I think it must be the same type of people who never indicate at roundabouts or junctions, and are always talking on their mobile phone whilst driving , and complain when they get a speeding ticket when the drive past a speed camera.

I have done this several times and when the owner of the cones says anything to me I just say "now I know where you live, if there is any new scratches or dents on my car when I return I'll be knocking on your door !!! " They usually go away with their tail between their legs !!

happened to me before, and told them that a brick or fire bomb through there window would be far worse than damage to my car. That usually gets them thinking!
