Just got a text from next door before my phone died (2 hour telephone meeting at work)
"Can you move your van forward? My partner is blocking the drive opposite and he complains about it"
99% of the time I park on the drive, didn't tonight as the binmen blocked my driveway with my bin (again!). Not a problem as I'm right outside my house and i'm not blocking anyone's drive - I've done it by accident in the past, they've knocked on my door and i've apologised and moved it to a more convenient spot.
Laddo from next door parks outside my house 99% of the time, they never park on their driveway.
In short i've ignored the text, not my problem if he's too useless to reverse onto a driveway. I'd be more sympathetic if they were the kind of neighbours who didn't have shouting matches at 1am in the garden or had their mate trying to kick their door in at 5am. Thankfully a lot of the time i'm out of the house in an evening when they're blasting music. It's pointless talking to them as they're both raging alcoholics, it's like trying to get a civil conversation on Jeremy Kyle.

Having said that 2 drug dealers had a knife fight to the death in the street 50 yards from my old place, it's amazing what you can pass off as normal everyday behaviour sometimes
They also are quite unsocial and prefer to keep themselves to themselves. We take in their packages regularly and we rarely get a thank you. I think I may start refusing as they just seem to expect it.
Now they’ve purchased a puppy which means even more noisy esp at 6am with it barking.
The ones on the other side however are much nicer. They’re always up for a quick chat and have helped us out saving parking spaces whenever we’ve gone out. The lad that lived there til he got married is a decent geezer and his dad is well alright.
Just wished the nightmare ones would move away.
