You do NOT own the parking space outside your residence.
Discussion
Council in my area made parking illegal outside your own property without a permit so I park my car on a street that has no parking restrictions.
Went to my motor and one of the residents parked literally 5.000 mm away from the bumper blocking me in. Anyway the resident can see me from the living room inside their home and opens the front door, I ask him if the car is his. He says yes and asks me where I live because I leave my car there and it causes them problems according to him. Obviously tell the idiot it is none of their business where I live and I can park my car where I like as there are no parking restrictions on this road and my car is legal - taxed and insured.
So I just wanted to let these idiots know - and I'm sure plenty are reading this - you do not own the parking space outside your residence.
Also the idiot has done himself no favors because if my shed gets vandalised guess who'll be getting a visit.

I'm with the OP - I can't stand people being territorial over parking. Yes it would be nice to always have a space reserved outside the house, but that's not how it is and that's that. In my Uni house in Leicester I remember you were doing well if you could park in your street! no one was silly about it.

So instead of getting a permit to park infront of your house you decide to park infront of someone else's house?
Not sure who's the idiot here...
My local council is making the parking on my street and the adjacent one short stay only. All the other nearby streets this is also the case, although the nearby streets tend to park on my road and the other with unregulated parking bays. Myself and neighbours have complained to our council and got a generic response stating that there is free parking on the pier... about 2 miles away which floods every winter.Not sure who's the idiot here...
I think I'm just going to rack up a bunch of parking ticket CCJs & then go off the grid. So sick of my local council .

Well, at least you know your car won't get bumped accidentally if he can park that accurately.
I'd give him credit if he did it alone, however I'd say there was help from a third party. I did check for damage FYI.PoleDriver said:
Why don't you have a permit to park outside your own property?
Several reasons:1) Cost and admin
2) My current residence is temporary which means I could leave at any time
3) I already pay good money to use the road in the form of car tax
4) I do not wish to be put on a database so the authorities know where I reside

So you don't pay council tax then?1) Cost and admin

Just pay for the permit. It's not the end of the world cost or admin wise although I do agree that there are some special people out there who think they own their part of the road.
