I've currently got a bit of insomnia as well as a illness that's going around so I'm up all hours which is why I'm up now.
Having a bit of a sweat I thought I'd dangle outside of my window only to see this:

There is my Bravo on the right, a corsa in the middle and a mondeo on the end. And guess what. they're all touching!

Here's what I've just got pictures of from my car:





As you can imagine I'm fuming! And to top it off you'll never guess what they did. Someone from the household opened the door to see what I was doing. I'm assuming they knew exactly what and quickly closed the door.

I've moved my car around half a foot forward now but I'm well and truly blocked in if I want to get out before them.

So what do you suggest I do? I think I'd be daft to ignore it personally as it's so rude.

It's the Husbands car, the wife is a nutjob literally so I ain't even smashing her. There's no proper lawn to hammer frozen sausages in either.

The husband is the only one who drives and has always been on good terms with me, he's never ever parked like that before but I think it's now confirmed my suspicions that he regularly hits my car when he gets home at 4am.

Go knock on his door right now and tell him you need to leave. Whilst you're there, tell him not to do it again. You're a big enough lad, I'm sure you won't have to tell him again! wink

Alternatively, don't leave a potential space at either end of your car.

Haha actually I hate confronting people (don't even ask why I work security then silly)
The problem is many people have 2/3 cars each which is understandable but for some selfish. So parking is limited and you get people taking 2 spaces up. I try to be as courteous as possible but because of work and when I go out often I get home so I can't park taking up 2 spaces anyway

I can see a potential comedy scenario unfolding. You wait for numbnuts to return from work, he starts to get way too close to your car, you shout "Bravo", he bumps your car, gets out, takes a bow. What? it's 5:40 in the morning, what did you expect? getmecoat.

Just wake them up nice and early, and ask them to let you out so that you can go and take a picture or your car with a tin of custard on the roof near a sign for a traffic island!!

I'm sure they'll understand laugh

laugh why didn't I think of that.
As I didn't actually need to go anywhere is it classed as inconsiderate? Also I've no idea who's car is infront of theirs. I'm guessing maybe a friend.

Undo all the bolts in your bumper then lie in wait until he moves off and your bumper falls off.
Proceed to go absolutey bananas.

Proper French style parking right there although I have no idea how they've done that without damaging the hell out of both cars - I sure as hell couldn't! hehe

Let a few tyres down, then you'll see who's blocked you in as they struggle changing a wheel.

Neighbours decide to play a prank on Smiffy.

Smiffy goes mad and starts a thread about it on Pistonheads.

People used to have more fun, before the internet.

Get an enormous 4x4. Then when this happens, engage low range and gently shunt the offending cars out of the way smile.
