You live on a steep hill, you have a drive big enough for three cars so why when the temperature is -5° would you park your car on the road & then wash it?
It isn't just the neighbours, it's a fairly busy through road very close to a School.To feck up the neighbours.
Concrete drive.Is the drive brick on sand. If so washing a car on it is not good. IMHO most peeps do silly things like that without thought. No malice intended. I wash the wife's car at the bottom of our steep drive so the muck flows onto the street and down the drain.......eventually.
Depends who my neighbour was.....Concrete drive.
Would you wash your car when the weather is minus five?
The road is like an ice rink.
Well I admit I did not check the temperature, but it was icy the other day when I gave the front section of the motorhome a wash ( front section gets filthy due to a large tree.. Back section stays nice and clean )Concrete drive.

The point is John would you do it on a steep main road causing an icy slide? There are cars parked on both sides of this road so it's not the easiest of roads even in normal conditions.Well I admit I did not check the temperature, but it was icy the other day when I gave the front section of the motorhome a wash ( front section gets filthy due to a large tree..

Sometimes people wash their cars out of routine and don't have any malice but having a car is no guaranty of common sense.
Fair enough.. fortunately we are all different else the world would be a boring placeI would not be inclined to wash my car/bike.
Yep.. as I would, but it would not stop me cleaning the vehicle if it needed cleaning and I wanted it cleanSecondly I would think "water is gonna freeze, maybe this isn't a good idea.
That is wrong on two counts unless you know the person in question and know his values ?Thirdly, there are plenty of Eastern Europeans doing an excellent job of washing people's cars without charging a fortune.
Well sorry peeps.., none of what you say is actually a reason why the person should not wash their vehicle..
Do not get me wrong, I actually think the person is nuts and even possibly mentally sixpence short of a shilling, but that does not really make them wrong and you right.

Rightly or wrongly he may feel t is wrong to give work to 'Eastern Europeans'
Rightly or wrongly he may dislike anyone washing his car apart from him self.. This I believe quite possible given the conditions he decided to wash the vehicle in..
I do think the guy / woman was inconsiderate or thoughtless.. Which begs the questions..
How did the persons actions impinge on you
Did you speak to the person about their behavior thereby offering the chance to defend their actions[/QUOTE]
I would think you would are doing it for a malicious reason and take you to task..It is a road on the way to our horses so I would only use it a couple of times a day.
Didn't say anything to the guy as we were late going to the horses.
I wonder what people would say if I were to stand in the road with a hosepipe flooding the road in -5° Temps without washing my car/bike.
I wouldn't say anything. I'd just stand behind you and hose you down.I wonder what people would say if I were to stand in the road with a hosepipe flooding the road in -5° Temps without washing my car/bike.

Then when you turn round and ask what I was doing, I would reply "washing my bike"
When you ask "where's yer bike then? ", I would reply- "it's slid down the road on all the ice you've just created, you feckwit".
