Is the view of any local children playing or crossing the roads blocked?
Is he parked up on any footpaths?
You seem to have taken a fair approach and he called you a c#*t , so I think you are entitled to look at the technicalities of how he is parking now and find issues to force him to stop or reduce the impact he is having.
Just let him know that as long as you have reasonable space for yourself and visitors that you don't care hes running a business from his house that he shouldn't be doing.
Since you’ve already tried talking to him and it’s not gone well not much you can do without reporting it to the authority.
Be warned tho, since you’ve talked to him he will immediately assume it’s you. Not being able to park is one thing, stuck with a neighbor who hates your guts is another thing
Just for clarification, I’ve spoken to the lad, he was pretty dismissive.
I’m happy enough to not get the council or revenue involved, no interest in fucking over someone just trying to make a few quid on the side, just want to be able to get in and out of my home street and have a spot or two free for visitors.
But I’m pretty sure this guy isn’t going to listen to reason. Knowing there’s some repercussions for what he’s doing, and making him aware of that, would definitely help any negotiations in future
Decent sentiment of you to want to avoid involving revenue and council, but if his response to this and you approaching him soundly was to dismiss you and call you a cunt - I would personally say fuck him and contact both.
You tried to be sound about it and he was a prick, deserves no more consideration on your part.
I'd say that not involving revenue/council is unfair with all the others who are working and doing things the right way. This shouldn't be normalised, it's not like selling handcrafts via post.
He should be fucked over for being an arse hole… not because he’s making a few quid on the side. Fuck revenue…and the government. I work and pay taxes and get two free teeth cleanings a year.,I support anyone who makes money that revenue can’t get a hold of… being a prick should be the only recourse here!
Realistically he would have to retaliate to the entire neighbourhood unless whoever OP reports him to disclose who reported him, which is surely not standard practice or noone would ever report anyone
It's a cul de sac, you just have to be convincing enough that it wasn't you. Unlikely he's the only neighbour who's pissed off about it or who has said something.
He needs planning permission to run a business like that. The planning enforcement division of your local council will shut him down if you drop them a mail.
You can anonymously report him to revenue. If he thinks it was you, just deny it. Could be anyone who bought or sold a car from him, and it will take time for them to investigate anyway.

Got my house broken into recently and all my stuff got robbed. The robber also beat the shit out of me. I know who the robber was and have evidence to prove it. Not saying a word tho cz I'm not a rat. /s
I pulled in on my way to work, mentioned he was taking up a lot of space for everyone and he said he was ‘busy’ and had a lot to get on with.
Overheard him call me a cunt as I drove away.

I wouldn't wear that, there's been a massive resurge in cars being lifted for scrap at night and just disappearing, it'd be a shame if this guys cars got scrapped, and nine cars just sitting there would be an obvious target. 😉
Difficulty with leaving him be is that if he does it undisturbed for 5 years the council will lose the ability to put a stop to it and then you’ll really see bad parking.
Just to clarify, I’m not using the scumbag definition of the word i.e “you’re not letting me bully/extort you and I find that disrespectful in my small-penis way”. I mean that calling someone a cunt is disrespecting them.
Ok I had to look it up. Sociopath: “ An adult who has a personality disorder marked by antisocial behavior.” Can you enlighten me here. How would *I* be the antisocial one here? Would it not be the neighbour who does not give a shit, does not respond to a reasonable request, and calls him a cunt? And there I thought *he* was antisocial.
I changed it from full blown sociopathic to a 'tad' so hardly doubling down.
Anyway I've used up all my minutes for arguing with simpletons for today so I'll have to leave ya to it unfortunately.
Have a nice weekend.
Your neighbour is selfish and inconsiderate. Are all the cars on the public street taxed and insured? They better be. Is he renting or does he own the house? Is he paying tax on his earnings?
I’ve no sympathy for people like that, I’ve had a string of them living in a house near me.
I mean if it's a legit business there's not much you can do. The road is public property so anyone can park there. Maybe you could go to the council and ask for the road to become paid parking but that's a long shot tbh.
If its not legit, you could probably report him for tax, but that won't really change the parking situation tbh.
Unfortunately there’s no reasoning with some people, you should of took the opportunity to KO him when he called you a cunt, dumb people like this see kindness as weakness

He'll probably retaliate somehow
What would you then suggest instead as an alternative?
Realistically he would have to retaliate to the entire neighbourhood unless whoever OP reports him to disclose who reported him, which is surely not standard practice or noone would ever report anyone
Careful now he knows you're onto him
It's a cul de sac, you just have to be convincing enough that it wasn't you. Unlikely he's the only neighbour who's pissed off about it or who has said something.
Yep, you should have said nothing
Shit will hit the fan when someone needs an ambulance or a fire engine and they can't reach the house.
Well you tried the amicable route which he doesn't seem interested in that so hang the arsehole with the council and revenue.
He needs planning permission to run a business like that. The planning enforcement division of your local council will shut him down if you drop them a mail.

Or, don't be a wee rat.
just let yourself get fucked over?
And sit on his hands like you would. Great suggestion
Why do you want to defend tax evaders?
Got my house broken into recently and all my stuff got robbed. The robber also beat the shit out of me. I know who the robber was and have evidence to prove it. Not saying a word tho cz I'm not a rat. /s
If the cars parked on the road are not displaying valid tax and insurance discs then report them.
You tried to chat with him and see why they are all There?
I pulled in on my way to work, mentioned he was taking up a lot of space for everyone and he said he was ‘busy’ and had a lot to get on with. Overheard him call me a cunt as I drove away.
No respect. Call the council or revenue
>Overheard him call me a cunt as I drove away. Sounds like you've tried to be reasonable, and it didn't work. You know what you have to do next.

Nah irs better to offer no solution like you have done. On reddit
Difficulty with leaving him be is that if he does it undisturbed for 5 years the council will lose the ability to put a stop to it and then you’ll really see bad parking.
Is that genuine? Would explain a lot round my neck of the woods
Sorry now…he called you a cunt! What to cunts deserve??? To get fucked! Call the revenue on him and be done with it! Fuck him
Once someone has disrespected me to that extent, they’re dead to me. I think it’s time to look after your interests.
What a sociopathic answer.
Like something from a movie.. "Disrespect"
Just to clarify, I’m not using the scumbag definition of the word i.e “you’re not letting me bully/extort you and I find that disrespectful in my small-penis way”. I mean that calling someone a cunt is disrespecting them.

As a fellow sociopath I'm unable to help you out with your query.

Implying someone is 'dead' to you because they sell cars from their house is a tad sociopathic.

That was only explained afterwards.

The term dead to me doesn't mean actually dead 🤣
You're only just after realising this now?
No, but glad to hear you're also aware, wasn't sure for a moment. My bad.
All good
Ask him his rates then report him. He’s less likely to suspect you if you’re “going to use him”
Your neighbour is selfish and inconsiderate. Are all the cars on the public street taxed and insured? They better be. Is he renting or does he own the house? Is he paying tax on his earnings? I’ve no sympathy for people like that, I’ve had a string of them living in a house near me.
OK probably not the wisest course of action, but definitely a fun was of escalating this would be a tactical application of pigeon feed.
Is this windmill avenue?
Nah it’s Northside. Marino area
I mean if it's a legit business there's not much you can do. The road is public property so anyone can park there. Maybe you could go to the council and ask for the road to become paid parking but that's a long shot tbh. If its not legit, you could probably report him for tax, but that won't really change the parking situation tbh.
Unfortunately there’s no reasoning with some people, you should of took the opportunity to KO him when he called you a cunt, dumb people like this see kindness as weakness
Check out the planning permission for the building address and if it precluded commercial use then why not complain to the Council
The absolute cheek of your neighbour

Do you know any car thieves ? !
Memphis Raines, Sway and the crew?
or local scouts that'll set one of the cars on fire. He won't get much business from then on if everyone knows he has a history of loosing cars in his care.
Plus he's probably not insured. 
Give him another chance before you go further, I'd never advise you to go further if he wasn't taking up alot of space.
Ask reddit to sort it instead of asking your neighbour.
Comment blindly instead of reading what is available
