Long story made as short as I can.
Modern 3 bed semi with front parking for 2 cars but as a private road no real parking other than that. 10yrs ago I put shillies down instead of lawn so it can be used as an emergency parking. Seems people like my brother inlaw doing 3point turns on it and the neghbours doing similar meant I needed to do some upkeep (Neighbour does nothing so I have maintained this piece of land for the last 13yrs).
Anyhow, last sunday me, my wife and 2 kids go out with spades, rakes and some weedproof membrane and proceed to move half the shillies to one side so we can renew the membrane. We went in for 10mins to get a drink and when I came back out the neighbours son had decided to park on the mound of shillies to save him walking the 25metres it would have meant to park at the end of the street. I am known to be quite forthright and bolshy so it was no surprise when I engaged mouth before gear and pointed out how lazy and retarded it was for someone to park there whilst we were so obviously working away. I may have moved a few spade full of stones in the direction of his car too just to make my point. I then decided there was no way in hell I was spending another 3hrs doing the other side of the garden so put the shillies back and finished. Anyhow, everyone in my family agreed with how lazy it was and laughed at my response.
Now to the issue. This sunday my brother in law pulls up with his girlfriend and son in tow. I was on the front playing cricket with all the local kids and didn’t notice at first but he pulled straight onto the shillies. Not such a big issue now they had been raked out etc BUT the day before we had a complete scaffolding put around our house for some works to be carried out, the wifes car was edging onto our shillies and my car was on what is left of our double drive.
Brother in law had only gone and parked in front of next doors front door on the shillies to save him and his family the same 25m walk.
I put this to the stw massive. What do you think I did. Was I a hypocrite and turn the other cheek? Or did I respond
