"So I am prepared to be told I'm in the wrong here but be aware I have so far done nothing or said nothing!  I live at the end of my street. The guy who lives in the middle of the street and works an early shift so gets home when the whole road is totally clear of parked cars and chooses to park directly outside my house.

"When I get home, he is always parked there despite there being loads of space directly outside his house. I can't think of any sensible reason why he would do this unless it's because he's scared of parallel parking and the space directly outside my house is on one end of the row. Although the other end of the row of cars is closer to his house."

"Would I be unreasonable to put a polite note on his car asking him to choose a space closer to his house when there is space? It's really annoying to come home with a trunk full of groceries and see that he's there again and I struggle up the road from the space outside his house.
