How do you get along with the neighbor who doesn't know how to properly implant a basketball pole?
thisShow your wife the pic down the alley with the white car on the right and your house on the left. There's no way she can say that it's difficult to get out of your garage.
Then grow a pair of balls and tell your wife that she is flat out wrong.Now you see why I feel absurd even raising the issue with my neighbor. It's ridiculous.
Already done like fifty times.Then grow a pair of balls and tell your wife that she is flat out wrong.
Obviously you have not gotten your point across. You need to bring out the big guns here. Let her know that she is completely wrong (I would say insane but you still have to live with her) and that under no circumstances is she to talk to the HOA. She is a grown a ss women so not sure what the consequences can be. I would probably talk to the Russian and let him know that you completely disagree with your wife and out of principle, under no circumstances, should he move his car. Let your wife know that you are talking to the Russian and that you will be informing him your support for him not her. Good luck!Already done like fifty times.
I agree with the above poster. The only choice is to show her this thread.Gary Coal Man said:Already done like fifty times.
Wait the OP's wife has a lesbian thing going on the side? Now we're getting somewhere!Kanil said:Holy crap. After seeing the pictures I'm not sure the bottom option is harsh enough. Punch her in the face in front of her wife and kids.
She does have a tendency to back that ### up.I'm guessing that if the other guy moved his car, she'd just back into his garage.
While I agree with your premise for women on the whole, she's just a horrible driver. Borderline Oriental. She has scrapes on the side of her car from rubbing against a pole in her parking garage at work. She's being serious in her inability to maneuver around a situation that 99.9% of the driving public can handle.She wants a new car with a backup camera and other goodies but she wants it to be "your" idea. Women are masters at this.

Teach your child to drive. She can't be worse.While I agree with your premise for women on the whole, she's just a horrible driver. Borderline Oriental.

Dudes in the FFA who I think do alright with the ladies...Taking FFA's advice on this. Why is that?
You get the feeling there's a lot of guys with success with women in here?
I have no game--coming up on anniversary 19 in a couple of weeks. I do know how to deal with unreasonable people though--especially those who make unreasonable requests due in large part to their own deficiencies. In this case, I'd offer to install a rear view camera on my wife's car (or replace the car if that worked financially). However, I would also let her know that this is her problem and not anyone else's.Dudes in the FFA who I think do alright with the ladies...

but can she drive in the elements?Teach your child to drive. She can't be worse.
As you can probably tell from the pictures, this is a new development and they built the houses ridiculously close to each other and made up for the puny yards with large common spaces. I'm guessing that he avoids parking on the other side of his garage because, on that side, half his car will be over his property line. On the site he parks on he can fit his whole car within the boundaries of his property.I'm not in favor of asking neighbor to move his car around front, but can't tell for sure from pics if he could park on other side of his garage, still half on the street.
I do think there's a power struggle element. My wife has made demands of me where she could not possibly care about her demand -- she just wanted me to cave to it. I think that could be part of the reason in her demanding my neighbor move his car, but I do believe her female/Oriental driving is the greatest factor.My initial thought was this was a case of a woman testing to see if her man would stand up for her but then lines get drawn, etc... until POWER STRUGGLE!
Wow. Take her keys away...she doesn't need to be driving at all!Alright, here we go.
I still haven't talked to the Ruskie. Three reasons: (1) I work long hours; (2) He works longs hours; and (3) I'm secretly a #####.
I did, however, get some pictures that will allow you to visualize the situation.
-- You'll see a pic of the "alley" and how another neighbor parks the same way as my neighbor. In this pic you'll see my open garage door directly across from my neighbor's white truck. (The black truck further down the alley in this pic is not usually parked there. They were some illegals in the neighborhood to do yard work.)
-- You'll see a close up of my neighbors truck to show how he tries to park mainly on his property, but about half his car trickles onto the street.
-- Finally, you'll see the vantage point from my wife's car door to get a precise idea of why she thinks it's impossible (IMPOSSIBLE!) to back out of the garage without nearly hitting the neighbor's car.
Enjoy.

my buddy's dad was driving back home to Chicago with his townie girlfriend who's from way out rural Wisconsin. she'd never been south of Milwaukee or something.MikeMan's post spurred a new idea. Put in rumble strips as a sort of "warning track."
Ha! No, but that Asian lady is remarkably chill about that truck and house getting smashed up.Was this your wife by any chance?

I had to call an audible because my wife threatened to go to the HOA if I didn't talk to my neighbor. Now I talked to my neighbor and my wife has doubled-down on going to the HOA. It's a no-win situation for me. At this point I no longer care what happens, and may actually prefer her going to the HOA. At least the complaining, nagging, and haranguing will end for me. Well, at least until the next issue, and there's always a next issue.So you did not do what the FFA decided, and you've made the situation worse.
