How come I end up being the bad guy...

[Aech]

Today's absurdity is that I now have to go round and apologise.

You could apologise for having a conscience that doesn't allow you to be inconsiderate to pedestrians rather than just being a selfish wanker, you could also apologise for your other half.

A little bit of grass seed sprinkled over that block paving would take quite nicely in the spring I would imagine.

I'm the wrong one to give advice, my last interaction resulted in about $10k (Canadian, so about 6p) in restitution/lawyer fees along with court-mandated anger management classes after I had a "polite discussion" over my adult neighbour's bullying of my 12 y/o.

But, I suggest something along the lines of "I'm sorry you're a twat..." could work.

Cheers, Ted

Thanks all

On the advice of two friends, it was decided that we don't do a thing, nothing and just leave it

Next week there'll be another something for them to get excited about and we'll be old news

That’s very much the best approach on the occasion I think.

in these difficult and stressful situations I tend to remember the definition of a diplomat…

’ someone who tells a person to go to hell but makes them look forward to the journey…’

and I can see what happened here … just before you talked to him he tried to put some new bearings in the BMW but had bought the wrong ones - far too big - and had to throw them in the garden in a rage…

I think a pedestrian has the right to walk through the car

This is my general solution if the footway is obstructed by silly/inconsiderate/cock-headed parking. Not so much through, as over the vehicle in question.

Apparently I'm on the ring doorbell and all that

Well in that case tell him to send the video to the police in relation to incident number xxxxx (obtained from your report of the illegal obstruction and intimidating behaviour) and that way they have all the evidence required
