friday thread: parking etiquette

Fuck yeah brah hill of DOOM. Two competing liquor stores at the tippy top.

 

LOL This thread is funny.

Your neighbor is too petty and lazy to park further away. And you're too petty to let him park on a public street that you don't own.

 

mow your neighbors lawn spraying clippings all over their autos. problem solved. Ski

 

Jeez idk have you tried to talk to your neighbor?

 

"I do plan on getting a second car soon, I would like you to know I plan to park my car in front of my house so you may want to find other arrangements for your extra one".

 

WTF is wrong with you? If it really bothers you, grab a 6 pack and plate of fresh baked cookies and go to your neighbors house and talk with them. Express your concerns without sounding like a whining douche nozzle and work something out amicably. Grow some stones and act like an adult.

 

Water your lawn often and with no regard for over-spray. Mow every other day, be sure to string trim the curb edge too. When they peak through the blinds, meet their gaze with long solid eye contact followed by a friendly wave.

 

Here's my take. Wife's car isn't too close, but that's not the issue.

I'm assuming there is not street parking on the driveway side, as it would make more sense for him to park there. Since you don't have a driveway, even though it's a public road the spots in front of your house should be left for you.

If it were an occasional interloper parking there ok, no big deal. But these people know what they are doing, and it's especially shitty of them to move cars around to hold that spot.

You could try talking to them, but they obviously don't care about anyone around them so that might not work. Personally, I would get a big honking steel front bumper and start parking 1/4" off their bumper.

 

Funny you should mention that because the neighbor on my left just did that to my truck last week. Wouldn't have happened if I was parked in front of my house

 

Question already asked and answered.

 

"I baked you these cookies, can we talk about how you hoarding this shared resource for yourself is inconsiderate"

Sounds pretty alpha

 

Preach

 

How do you have a garage your truck won't fit in, but have no driveway?

Didn't read the whole thread, sorry if this has already been explained.

 

Garage access is via alley.

(see Evidence B below)

 

Evidence B

 

Bonus alpha points for raisins.

 

I live last house on a dead end street. Anytime somebody parks behind my driveway I lose my shit lol. I either wait on my porch for them to come back so I can ask them if they have common sense and if they know they are blocking me in. or I put a note on there windshield saying sorry I backed into your car you shouldn’t have parked directly behind my driveway.

 

Wait, you have an end lot with what looks to be 4 adjacent street spaces. You're complaining about losing one?

 

Tis true. When I'm at work we pull into San Diego/LA/Honolulu on a two week rotation. I usually send one of the junior guys out to pick up a burrito for me. In LA I usually send someone out for Big Nick's or Larry's Hamburgers. Hawaii is Nico's for poke. I have to admit though, I've been pleasantly surprised at the quality of Mexican food up here in the PNW. Most of the people from Mexico seem to come from further south in Mexico (Jalisco) which is a different style of food than SoCal's Mexican food.

 

They were all "Albertos" when I was a kid. It was a huge chain. I don't remember if they went bankrupt or it was a family split or what, but at some point all the names started changing, but they kept the -bertos. Kinda like when Winchell's Donuts went out of business. They had a distinct triangle sign with rounded corners. Lots of 'em became mom and pop stores but kept the shape of the triangle sign because it was cheaper to just buy a new insert for it.
