Maybe the guy was totally pi**ed off with people who don't live there parking outside his house, and tbh I don't blame him if that's so.
Parking is at a premium where I live, it's a narrow street with parking just on the side I live on. A few of the residents have two cars, including next door to me on both sides, and it's often difficult for me to park outside my own house so I end up going round the corner into the next avenue. No problem most of the time, but on five separate occasions before Christmas, when I came home with several heavy bags of shopping and needed to park right outside, I couldn't get in and had to do several journeys round the corner and back in the pouring rain - not funny. Believe me, if I'd been that way inclined the owners of the cars parked outside my house (none of which live locally) would have had much more damage inflicted on their vehicles than just a few scratch marks!!
So, sorry if I have no sympathy for you - if the guy in question is pi**ed off then I know how he feels!
I can understand your disappointment at not being able to park outside your own house but, unless you have dropped kerbs to access parking on your own property, why do you feel 'pi##ed off' if anyone parks there, and why the distinction between locals and non-locals? Anyone with a roadworthy, properly taxed and insured vehicle can park on the highway if it's legal to do so.
My O/H parked, legally, on the road opposite our house, when we were having our drive done. He parked just in front of a vacant rental property, which should be immaterial, but obviously incensed the owner of that property because he subsequently drove his van over the deep grass verge in front of our house and parked - illegally - in front of our living room windows, clearly to demonstrate his disapproval.
We'd have moved our car if he'd asked, despite it being parked legally and him having no entitlement to the highway in front of his property.

WOW Is this a wind up or are there really people with this attitude walking among us?
