Haven’t you read the thread? You should've poured petrol through the letterbox and set fire to it, then stood guard and executed anyone trying to help, including the fire brigade. Something along those lines seems to be the only acceptable action to the Walts on here.
Did you get your sense of humour bypass privately or on the NHS?

As tempting as it was to go around with a large hammer, the last thing I want to be doing is causing aggro in the street. I don't want to be looking over my car each morning looking to see if the tires are inflated, of if there's a new scratch in it.

They aren’t being humourous, they’re all full on Walt’s, as others have pointed out already.

Before I can consider your assertion, I need to know what a full on Walt is.

An abbreviation of Walter Mitty, for those who live in a dream world where they’re rock hard and the world fears them. It was originally used to describe people who claimed to be ex armed forces, most frequently ex SAS.

You can see why it’s a good description of number of posters on this thread.

Are you familiar with the term "Walter Mitty" in reference to fantasists/those with delusions of importance?

Edit: beaten to the punch.

At uni there was a guy who was a bit of an annoying little prick. He had a brand new Triumph Spitfire. None of us even had an old banger. So this made him even more annoyind, driven of course by intense jealousy.
So one night we got about 15 of us together and picked it up and put it between two trees that were exactly 1 inch from the front and rear bumper. Sorted.
Club together. Buy a couple of scrappy bangers, park them on your street the exact correct distance apart and put his car between them. Oh dear, are they blocking you in? Shame, owners have gone away for 3 months

Yep, two more scrappers on the street, that'll solve the parking issues...

It's not Knowle, nor is it a council estate.

The drive currently has a car in pieces on it, so it's going nowhere and there's no other room to fit cars on it. So whoever gets home first between me and the Mrs parks over the drop-kerb (if it's free) and the other parks in front. Whoever gets home last would normally park infront of the house, or wherever they can.

A little update:

I went to have a polite word with the bloke when I knew he was in on Saturday morning (not really early, circa 11am). Miraculously he refused to answer the door. So I may have said through the letterbox " If you're too spineless to talk to me face to face, I'll do it through a letterbox, stop parking like a twonk, as you've already had plod at the door to tell you to stop. If you want to talk to me properly, come and knock on the door and I'll happily have a conversation with you about it. If you're too gutless and carry on parking like a nause, then we'll be speaking with plod again, as well as the *name of landlord*"

I was tempted to swear, but didn't as there were kids in the house, giggling. I didn't want to be blamed for them learning a new swear word.

So, over the weekend it was fine, and when I got home tonight he was slightly over it, but there was nowhere else to park in the road, So I'll give him the benefit of the doubt tonight. See what happens.
You're understanding of polite conversation is a little different to mine, but I hope that it has the required effect smile

Then call your mate in the council to get a preservation order put on both of them?

Except you do, as I answered your question, as did another poster, but you’ve chosen to ignore both of our posts and instead respond to the incorrect poster who is connecting it to Walter White from Breaking Bad. In his scenarios, he’s actually referencing Heisenberg, not Walter White anyway, but that just adds to his errors.

Here are the answers again for you (to probably ignore again)
