What’s even worse is on my parents road there’s at least three houses parking three cars in two-car driveways – the last with only its front wheels in the garden, the rest of care ENTIRELY blocking the path right into the road. They want a good keying.

A keying? Really? You slimey coward.
All the good ones fly south for winter
Keying is a bit c**tish but that wing mirror is in mortal danger!
theCitizen
Not a Keying per se, (only crime that should still incur the death penalty),
but I find the Ben Hur wheel spikes option on my buggaboo great for days out.
Garda was called once and he said good on you.
ahjayzis
Well, maybe not a keying, but smearing dogshit all over them has occurred to me.
Slimey is the word, forcing people with buggies onto the road three times in a short stretch of street because you permanently park a car perpendicular to the footpath, blocking it in it’s entirety should warrant a flogging. It’s the definition of antisocial. Your driveway ends at your gate, it’s a simple principle.

Always with the dogpoo- any excuse!

Whats this anti-keying moral high ground cr+p about?? I say key them!! Key them all!!
That buggy going onto the street could have easily squeezed through the gap, and sure if the metal on the buggy damaged the side of the car sure what can you do?! Or if the baby jumped up and accidentally kicked off the wing mirror, or put a brick through the back window? Sure what can you do, ya know.
Weedless
Kids these days eh. They’re out of control so they are Joe.
Martin
nah, fupp them. maybe they’ll think twice before blocking the footpath in future.
Paps
shame shame shame on yous
Paps
Pictures of Emergency Service Vehicles are getting boring, they can park wherever they want.
obriendj
Agreed – the burglar got away while the Garda looked for a suitable parking spot.
The other car, parking on the path is poor form!!
Owen
Boom! +1
ZeligIsJaded
Well let’s see them park in the middle of the road once in a while.

They park on the road in my parents estate, blocking no footpath or cycle lanes but they do block the road so badly as to be almost impassable, and block people into driveways. It’s a lovely business
Paps
So you’d rather they block the footpath and cycle lanes?
meadowlark
No. But go right ahead and be offended over nothing.
meadowlark
What I meant was that they kindly don’t block cycle lanes which is great but what use is that when you can’t even leave the estate, or even your own driveway? Either way, some people just don’t think. And then they end up here in the annals I’d shame.
meadowlark

ahyeah
No. Would rather they parked somewhere where they weren’t creating a difficulty for anyone.
Paps
Offended? I’m just generally confused as to where you’d like them to put the car. Maybe they coppers should be choppered in.
meadowlark
Apologies. Blue Monday getting the better of me, perhaps.

Not often you see somebody actually apologising on the web, fair play.

Call local Garda station
Provide details of path blockage.
Garda slaps on €80 fine.
Job done.

Pretty sure this never happens. More like ring Garda station, wait for laughing to stop, wait for squad car to arrive. Watch driver get into car and leave an hour later. Go home.

How about lifting up the windscreen wipers on the back and front window. Make it a thing to do for obnoxious selfish inconsiderate assholes who park their cars on paths blocking the way for everyone else because they’re too lazy to park somewhere else. No harm done to the cars but annoying for the drivers as they know that some dirty unwashed pleb has had their mucky sullied hands on their precious car.
