View Full Version : And people wonder why I was so upset about it.
This shit happens all the fucking time.... Notice the position of the rear tire.... If they weren't parked at a 45° angle they'd be about a foot into my driveway. Never mind the fact they're blocking two mailboxes.
Where the fuck has common courtesy for your fellow man gone?

This picture genuinely angers me. You park in front of your host's house, without blocking the driveway, mailbox, or any fire hydrants. How hard is that?
No its not.
Give me 10 minutes and I'll find the municipal code that says you have to be something like 3 feet from a driveway.

If that was my area and a sidewalk was present, absolutely. I have no problem knocking on the neighbors doors ask them if they could park else where. They've told me in the past, sure we'll only be here a minute. That's great, local PD response time is 5 min average, if that.. Gives you plenty of time to move it before you receive a ticket.
Blocking anyone's driveway or sidewalk, is a hot issue with me. One lady said. Oh we shouldn't be here long, service runs 45 min, as they're walking in to church. Have the buddy's towing service pull up, they scramble real quick.

I had issues with jerks parking at my apartment complex when I lived in Lakewood. I did, of course, have one towed once, but prior to getting fed up (despite the reserved parking sign being directly in front of my parking spot) I left nice hand written notes informing the offender that they were illegally parked and that this was their one and only warning to never do this again or else they'd be towed. Mr. Fred, it may sound silly or moot to do so, but sometimes leaving a note lets people know that they're pissing others' off. Parking aside, if I'm completely unaware my behavior is pissing someone off I keep acting the way I do. Although, if I find that my behavior is pissing someone off, depending on the situation, I'll probably continue anyway (like when dealing with libtards).

For the record, I HATE people parking in front of my house, period.
I purposely bought a house on a corner lot so that we would have lots of parking, I have 6 licensed vehicles, and we always have lots of family over. The fucking idiot polish people that live on the side of our house and across the street ALWAYS park on the side of my house and it drives me insane. I totally understand every now and then if you have people over or something, but for that to be your everyday parking spot, no. About a month ago I had my daughter start parking on that side and told her every couple of days park a little father back, she finally ended up pushing them back past our property line. This week she started parking in the front of our house again and they've stayed back so maybe they got the hint.

Then call WPD with the CRS statute you already listed above. Or talk to the neighbor in person.
My former neighbor parked his vehicle in front of my house for about 2 months.. never moved.. Did I feel bad when the windows were busted out? Nope.. not one bit.. Turns out though.. I should have put thermite on the hood and burned the whole thing down as he was out in Cali raping a child.. Sometimes being an asshole is justified in hindsight.

Don't we have a thread for bad parking already? [Coffee]
Leave one of those notes about if they screw like they park, they'll never get it in...
I chock this up to living in suburbs... someone parked that close to my driveway, and I'll push it out of the way with my truck...
But I don't live in the 'burbs, either- nobody in their right mind would park that close to my driveway
I'm with you- I find it incredibly annoying when anyone parks in front of our house (unless I know they are visiting neighors.) We live in a very tight neighborhood. Now that the asshole neighbors next door have moved away, they are no longer blocking our mailbox.
As you're unsure of who is doing this parking job, I'd leave a note on their windshield. It could be something as simple as, "please don't park in front of the mailboxes" or it could be something like, "just thought you should know that some people were scoping out your vehicle the past couple of times it has been parked in this spot." You could also take initiative and park there yourself. Or set a couple of cones there, ready to move them when the mail truck comes by...

I wonder if it bothers your neighbors that the lawn and driveway in the center bottom of your picture looks like shit. in the pictures the driveway and grass on the left look like an abandoned meth house.
people can edge the concrete, spray weed killer, water the grass, stuff like that.
Sounds like they are clear then, since that is the only way to fit in the space.
Actually, if they can't park between the driveways without infringing on the 5 foot zone on one side or the other (or both, in this case), then it is not a legal parking space for that particular vehicle. We have exactly one parking space in our cul-de-sac, but I can't park my truck or the wife's Rodeo there for that very reason. The people that platted our subdivision were complete idiots, as there are 44 houses (22 duplexes) on a block and a half of street, most with 1 car garages, and there is legal street parking for about 20 cars.

Oh haha! Yeah, the super wide streets/sidewalks were a bonus for this house. As you can also see, I have plenty of on street parking in front of my house without bothering neighbors. :D
My ex-wife hated people parking in front of our house. Ours was the first one built on our cul-de-sac and the construction workers would park all around the street while working on the next seven houses. She would call the foreman every time one of his guys parked anywhere along "our" curb. He finally got fed up with her and nailed large orange cones into the street all across the front of our house, about five feet from the curb, and strung yellow construction tape between them. It looked ridiculous, but the ex preferred it. She later pissed off all the neighbors due in part to her parking enforcement demands.
If it bothers you that much, just go talk to them.
