Why do people get upset when neighbors or their company park

Yes it is a problem. My drive hold one car and our other car parks in front. If somebody parks in my spot, then where am I suppose to park? Down the street? No the neighbor’s guest can park down the street.


And get the hell off my lawn.

i wouldn't say I get upset about it, but I find when people park in front of our house, they also walk through the yard, and that makes the cats run and hide. I also don't need people dropping cigarette butts or dog poop in my yard.

Public street = public parking. Anyone who has an issue with it can fuck right off.

It is a hassle if your don't have much parking, but you don't own the street. Sometimes you just have to park down the street. We were fortunate that our lovely neighbor told both of my sons they were more than welcome to park in front of his house. They did for years. He only had one vehicle and his went in the garage.

Once in a while someone will park in front of our house, but in our neighborhood, we all know each other and are really good about staying in certain areas if possible.

No, homeowners don’t own the street but I think neighbors should have common courtesy for each other. As a general rule, if you have room in front of your house, do that. If someone is having guests, then sure, it’s ok to park where there is room on the street. Everyone on my block is pretty respectful.
One neighbor owns 10 jalopies, and he parks them quite far away. That’s considerate and I do appreciate it.

It doesn't bother me.

My special problem is when they park over or partly over your driveway so you have to track them down to get out! Yes. It happens regularly. 

If you are leaving the spot in front of the home you are visiting open to instead park in front of my house - it pisses me off.

If there is a party/gathering, no issue.....as long as you don't leave your trash in my yard or block MY mailbox or pull up so that I can't get in/out of my driveway easily.

Although, I do realize the street is public. I just think neighbors (and their guests) should be considerate. We always tells guests to feel free to park in our driveway so they don't have to park in the street.

I only get annoyed when someone dumps junk in our yard or if they are too close to our driveway (or if they park there during a snowstorm and don't move before the plough comes through). It can be frustrating when someone parks in the middle of the space because it is big enough for two cars. However we rarely park on the street because we don't usually need to (and because idiots fly down our street and we're afraid of getting hit).

I get more upset with the people who think they can park on the other side of our driveway--2 feet past our driveway is a sign saying "no parking from here to the street" because there's a stop sign about 10 feet past our driveway. When someone does park there, the person stopping at the stop sign is pretty much taking up the entire left lane so people coming the other way can't proceed.

It doesn't happen very often but it shouldn't happen at all. There are "No Parking" signs posted all down my side of the street. I'm not sure why it is that way but it seems all the fire hydrants are also on my side of the street and maybe they want to make sure the fire department has easy access to them.

I don't care unless they do it on trash/recycling day. The truck guys are super picky and if there is a car parked anywhere near the driveway, they won't pick up your bins.

My parents had a neighbor that would park their extra car in front of my parents' house instead of their own and it would sit. They had more than 1 conversation about it.

My dad may have thrown a party with the rest of the neighbors once that guy moved because nobody liked him.

I don’t care where people park. For the most part everyone has specific spots. My husband has this huge work truck that he parks in front of the house. He has a fit if the neighbor parks near his spot. One time, or a couple, the neighbor had parked in his spot. What he likes to do is pull up and he leaves a space behind him that could easily fill a car. Well the neighbor didn’t pull up far enough. My husband could park his huge truck but he didn’t have all that extra space behind. He kept going outside and finally said he was going to tell the neighbor he was going to have to move. The neighbor was a bit, very tiny bit, on our side but mostly on his, luckily my husband didn’t do that.

I didn’t suggest that I did own anything or that I could reserve it. This is a small neighborhood in a small town; parking is not at a premium here, but our lots are tiny @ only 40 feet. Take away the driveway and that leaves very little room. Only a few people even park on my entire street. It was simply that it annoyed me and I thought it was inconsiderate. We also have concrete curbs. 

If it had continued much longer, I would have. If I had guests more frequently, I would have. I didn’t report them, I didn’t discuss it with any of our neighbors, I don’t dislike them because of it. IMHO they were only being inconsiderate; as far as I know, they weren’t breaking any rules. At least, any enforced rules. It was my own annoyance that I waited patiently through and they resolved the issue without conflict. Whereas, had I said something I don’t know how they would have felt. Not worth the potential conflict with a long time neighbor for a petty annoyance.
