Am I being unreasonable

[ferrariF50lover]

My wife is an osteopath. She works from our home.
Problem is, we've got a shared driveway and the bloke next door is forever dismantling knackered old Triumphs and 2CVs. To be honest, it's putting off a number of my wife's clients.

Am I being unreasonable to nip round and ask him to keep our shared space a bit tidier?

Yes you are - he has as much right to use it as you

how about you speak to him but suggest you will put a fence up at your own cost explaining that while your ok for him to potter with cars your wifes client's moan so this will keep them happy

Why dont you ask you wifes clients, all of them, to stop and chat with said neighbour? Make small talk? Ask him what its like to live in this street, how long has he lived here? etcs etcs

And wait for the implosion

OP, tell your wife to use a ball gag. That will keep her clients quiet. And presumably happy as well.
As for your neighbour, tell him that he can avail himself of your wife's services as long as he promises to stop "tinkering" on your shared drive and frightening her clients.

Would it be too far wide of the mark to suggest that it's your wife that should be conducting her business from more appropriate premises?

To lift a gag from another poster on another thread to start your own thread seems unreasonable.

Ive just seen the other thread - I walked into that one didn't I?
