This irritates me a little but only because I'm ever so slightly put out by it.
What makes me fume is people who think the road outside their house is their property and nobody else has the right to park there. Especially the ones who complain or get arsey about it. Bells.
It`s bizarre, as people think that by somehow parking right outside their house, means their car is safer.
We`ve got two people like this in our road and other than their mad obsession with having to have their car right outside the house, they are sound.
The worst one we had ( now moved ) actually had a camera that covered the space outside his house, which he used to sit and watch. When " his " space became available, he used to leg it up the road and then move his car into the space lol
