    Just a q on the car parking - is it actually your property, or is it common property? Couldn't work it out from what you said (placenta brain!)

    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.

    Did the lady with the dog have a touch of aspergers, perhaps?

    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
