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?

Other than being away from the curb, it's legal...
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.

I'm standing by.
Woosaba! deep breaths. Count to ten.
Does it piss you off that your neighbor in the silver jeep is blocking the sidewalk?
9 Minutes... And most of that was copy/paste with this shitty laptop tracpad...

There's no sidewalk there. The only sidewalk in the entire cul de sac is in front of my house...Quote:

Don't see the issue here. They may get a ticket, but YOU have nothing to do with this, any more than if they parked in front of your house with expired plates.

No they're not... lol Just because that's the only way to do it doesn't mean it's legal... I love ya, Irving, but that's just silly talk.Quote:

See.... You should know where I'm coming from... If you're going to park in front of my house, at least do it legally.Quote:

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.Quote:

Stuff like this use to be common courtesy. respect for ones property and belongings.

Parking on public property
Vehicles parked on any public street must display current license plates, be operable and must be moved/used every 15 days.

Other regulations for vehicles on public property can be found in sections 8-1-12 and 10-1-12(B) of the Westminster Municipal Code.
Can you put a "No Parking" sign underneath the mail box on the post? I would never spray battery acid on their paint tho'...
That'd be great if it was a westminster city/municipal code..... But it's not a code enforcement issue.Quote:

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).
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.Quote:

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 don't know how this shit bothers people so badly....
Everyone talks about being a tough guy......until it's time to do tough guy things.
Find your inner A-Hole and get to it, CupCake!!!
Why aren't you stomping his guts out?
