Well, there's reasonable requests and then there's unreasonable people - unfortunately I'm dealing with a rented property and the inhabitants don't give two damns about objections from anyone. When I mentioned surly grunts (or grunting surls) earlier I wasn't joking. I have on occasion gone in to ask them to move a car to allow me to get to work (argh! Traffic congestion in my own driveway!) and the scenario usually goes as follows;
Me - howerya - listen, is that car yours? only it's blocking mine and...
Surly - (says nothing to me, just looks over shoulder and yells) does one of yous own that car?
Muffled giggles, accusations, etc ensue from inside the house. The original person disappears. I then hover in the driveway until someone else slopes out, brushes past me, and moves the car. He then returns to the house, as silently as when he first appeared...
So no. Not even an apology. Just 'oh there goes yer wan who can't drive through walls again'.
In terms of parking in front of my house, well, it's not a great area and one of the reasons I bought the house was because of the off street parking. Oh well. Hopefully they'll all benefit from the change in stamp duty and buy their own place in January!
