My nightmare neighbour spat on me in parking row but people think I’M wrong

A WOMAN has told how her nightmare neighbour spat on her during an explosive row over parking.

The “humiliated” mum said tensions drastically boiled over after she parked one of her cars outside next door’s home.

She explained due to her drive only having room for one vehicle, her family have to leave one of their motors on the street.

But her elderly neighbours “have a massive problem” with the family’s parking practices – leading to a vicious row.

The woman took to Mumsnet to share the details of her dilemma and claimed she was spat at by her neighbour’s son.

She explained: “The back story is that we have three cars and one space on the drive. Next door has a drive for three cars.

“They are elderly so don’t drive. The only cars are when their grown-up children visit.

“We have to park one of our cars outside their house, not blocking the drive at all, all legal and above board.

“They have a massive problem about us parking outside their house,” the anonymous poster wrote.

“So yesterday, one of the sons parked behind my car that was outside their house (even though the drive was free) fair enough that’s not a problem.

“I was walking my dog as he parked up. He got out of his car and my dog stopped to see who it was.

“I didn’t make any contact with the son. I said, ‘come on let’s go home’ to my dog and he came behind us and spat at us.”

The mortified mum said she somehow managed to maintain her composure and “didn’t react at all.”

She continued: “I carried on as normal making out I didn’t know what he’d just done.

“Now I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s made me feel so humiliated and small. I was too scared to confront him.”

The woman asked Mumsnet users to weigh in on the fiery confrontation – but not everyone took her side.

Some people suggested the mum was in the wrong for riling the residents with her three cars.

One wrote: “Why, if you have 3 vehicles, do you choose to live somewhere where there is only parking for one car?”

Another added: “What a waste of police resources! How do you know he spat at you?

“If your dog was heading in his direction, why did you ignore him? He probably thought you were rude.”

And a third chimed in: “That’s horrible but difficult to prove.

“I would get a ring doorbell and also tbh I wouldn’t park there again unless you’re prepared to put up with their behaviour about it.”

But others were more sympathetic to the mum’s parking plight and urged her to inform the police.

One said: “It’s assault and yes you can report it to the police. Nasty man!”

A second commented: “Spitting at someone is assault, I would report it.

“You give the police the information you have and it’s up to them what they do about it.

“You don’t need to over analyse this man’s intentions, you know he spat at you and that’s enough.”

We previously told how a rude resident divided opinion after using GLUE to stick a raging note to a car in a row over parking.

A Reddit user shared a snap of the furious message stuck to their windscreen that dubbed them a ” f***ing b*****.”

But the vehicle had completely blocked access to the angry neighbour’s garage completely – sparking an online debate.
