Neighborhood Courtesy
 
I wanted to see what people's thoughts are. If you are in a house, and a neighbor keeps parking their car at the sidewalk parking directly in front of your house/yard and leaving their driveway and sidewalk parking completely empty, would that be considered rude? Isn't it common courtesy/knowledge/respect, that you should only park in your own driveway, or the sidewalk parking in front of your house, and not park in front of someone's house every single day? Yes, I know that the sidewalk parking in front of a house does not belong to anyone.

Park in front of your neighbor's house.

lol, if I had another car, I would. At the moment, I don't.

We've been here for almost a year, and they see on a weekly basis, that where they are now parking one of their cars is where we put the trash and recycling bins on collection day. Now we have to try to squeeze it on the other side of the driveway, near one of their other vehicles and hope the city picks the bins up and doesn't pass it since they may be "too close to a vehicle for pick up."

That is very lame. I'm guessing they aren't the "neighborly" type. Tough to make friends with assholes.

Too bad you don't know someone with an old RV.

This happened to me a while back. I went on photoshop and made a fake citation, on which I wrote the details of what was wrong and that it was a warning only. It was signed by Officer Hugh Jass.

They never parked there again.

Put your bins on top of their car.

That sucks. Sounds like you need a inexpensive project car or truck.

Ultramaroon 10-15-2016 03:03 AM

Cooking up some good ideas here.

They're not bad, and they always compliment my car. However, I just don't think they care or think of others. Like the first week we were here, they were parking one of their cars in the same spot I'm referring to here, but intruding a 1/4 into the front of the driveway. They also play their music loud enough where I can hear it (but not feel it).

LOL, I should put up a craigslist ad for old RV parking. http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/images/smilies/rotfl.gif

Interesting...interesting. Wouldn't know what to say on the "citation" though.

I need an affordable, cash car to keep the miles on my FR-S down. I'm averaging 22k a year!

Let's discuss the elephant in the room. Have you ever brought it up with them? What would keep you from doing so?

Buy a big ugly panel van and leave it parked outside your neighbour's property.

@"Kaotic Lazagna" is this the music they're playing loud enough for you to hear?

If so I'd move.

I wanted to, but my mom thinks it's going to cause problems (I really don't get this whole Asian passiveness BS).
