A man was left confused after his neighbour placed a passive-aggressive note on his van, despite being parked legally.
The driver posted a photo of the handwritten letter online, sharing how it was the third neighbour who had complained about his vehicle.
The note, posted on TikTok, read: “Please may you move the van outside our house. We have really struggled over Christmas, we have a large amount of guests over Saturday night and really need the space.
The TikTok user wrote: “New year, same issues. This is the third neighbour who has complained about my completely legally parked van. I get it, it may not look the prettiest outside your house, but I just park where I can, I am not intending to upset people.”

On social media, some took the side of the neighbour and said the poster should consider a different spot.
One wrote: “Could you not park it outside your own place?” while another added: “that really isn’t an unreasonable request.”
However, the man replied: “It’s the 3rd neighbour to tell me to move it, so where else can I go?
“Always try to park outside mine but it’s not always possible.”

Other people said he was completely in the right if it is a legal spot.
One wrote: “Start leaving notes on cars that park outside the front of your house asking them to move.”
A second commented: “Public road, tax mot and insured. Leave it there.”
A third said: “If it’s on the street absolutely nothing they can do and you are full entitled to park there.” (sic)
According to Law Hive: “If the space in front of your house is on private property, such as a driveway, you can enforce parking restrictions. However, if the space is on a public road, you can’t reserve it for your exclusive use, even if it’s directly outside your property.
“This means that, generally, anyone can park there as long as they follow local parking regulations and restrictions.”
They said that if a vehicle is blocking your driveway by parking across a dropped curb, this is illegal and can be reported.
