Homeowner fed-up with people parking outside his front door paints double yellow lines on his COTTAGE

A fed-up homeowner has taken drastic steps to stop cars parking outside his front door – by painting double yellow lines on his COTTAGE.

John Anderson, 48, became enraged by motorists dumping their car outside when council workers painted yellow lines on the road – but not outside his property.

Robotics services engineer John took matters into his own hands and painted the lines across the front of his £165,000 two-bedroom home last week.

Hey I don't blame him!

1. I think I love him

2. If I thought it would keep the utility company from parking in my drive I might consider it.

The electric company and the gas company seem to think that my driveway is their parking area when working in the neighborhood. They have hit my vehicles and tore up my lawn and will do nothing to compensate us for the damages.

They currently are replacing a gas line and our front yard is a mess even though the gas line is located in the tree lawn. My drive way was full of utility trucks and the backhoe has left ruts from end to the other.

I understand how this guy feels.

3. I would be a very squeaky wheel

if I were you.....if they are using your yard to use the backhoe, I think that they are obliged to fix the damage. At least they are here.

You don't have to paint your house, just paint your driveway!
