People are crazy about car spots in units/townhouses! It is your parking spot that you pay for with your rent. You have every right to park there - or not! Good on your man for saying it plaining as possible, fingers crossed they leave the spot be.
That lady be crazy. I would lose it with the smoking thing alone, you did well to handle it.
I hope the first one is sorted out - very rude that they pushed it though!
If the old woman had cats instead of dogs you'd know it is craziness. But with dogs... not so spottable for some reason. "My dog can't cope, I am taking him away from your dog" followed (if needed by) "please don't follow my dog" would probably work - that way it's your dog who doesn't want her dog around, not you getting creeped out. Or maybe just take your dog out at another time if she really doesn't get the message. At least she goes away when you tell her, even if she doesn't understand why.
If the car spot problem arises again, go straight to the real estate and report it.
With the old lady I would just keep on walking past her, if she follows then a quick remark about your dog not being good with other dogs, or something similar, but dont stop walking. I know its rude but if you dont want to engage her than sometimes being rude is worth it to get the outcome you want.
TFB - I thought it was really rude of them to even suggest we let them block us in by parking in front of our place.. I mean, seriously. It's not really practical.
Surprised - It's technically common property, but if a car is parked there we can't get out of our garage at all. They aren't even parking spaces, really. It's actually the area provided for us to reverse our car out into. Sometimes we park there as it's a pain to get DS out of the car while in the tiny garage, so it stays outside till I bring it in. But everyone else parks in their 'driveway' when needed.... it's their spot. It's in front of their place, and if I parked my car there.. well that'd be rude. I hope that made sense lol
beansbeans - It's a pity our real estate doesn't lease all the townhouses in the block. Just ours. If the problem does present again, I'll call a tow truck, I guess.. but I don't really want to have a problem with a neighbour, so I hope they just get it through their heads.
Marushke - It crossed my mind!
Thanks everyone for the replies, makes me feel less crazy for being slightly annoyed lol
