This is a different situation. Many cities have an abandoned vehicle law on the books that applies to cars parked in one spot for too long...even with air in their tires.

Neighbor parking in front of my house- etiquette breach or am I a jerk? (1 Viewer)

I think the death penalty should apply here, as it should in the case of people throwing cigarette butts out their car window.

Although, my guess is that the neighbor might be parking in front of your house out of spite because of you constantly parking on the street because of your hoarding. And I can kind of respect that. But if that's not why he's doing it, off with his head!

My street has enough room for two cars infornt of each house. If my neighbors parked in front of my house (thankfully they do not) I would just park in front of their house in the middle to take both spots.
When I used to live with my dad years ago he would just park super close to other peoples car if they parked in front of our house. I'm talking barely slide a piece of paper through close.

I once had a neighbor whose kid was throwing parties constantly. There would easily be 15-20 cars parked on a tiny street with their bumpers encroaching on everyones driveway
. It irritated the #### outta me so one night at about 10-10:30pm when the party was really going. (High Schoolers) I went out my side yard and used a poop bag to grab the freshest piece of dog #### I could find. I went to each car directly in front, and across the street and smeared #### under the drivers side door handles. Probably got 4 cars in total.
I was woken up at 2am with some seriously loud cursing and screaming. WORTH IT.

I can also yell and scream on my side of the property all day. Or any other of a million things. Guys who only think they can't do it if it's illegal are idiots.shadyridr said:Its a public street
I had a neighbor who literally parked in front of my house every time for a few months. Then I parked my truck in front of theirs for two weeks until they came and asked me to move it. Strangely they park on their side now.

The neighbor next to my old man's house would complain if we parked in front of his house. To be fair, there were 6 of us kids, so there always seem to be about 4 of us between the ages of 16-20 for a long time parking cars all over the street.
The neighbor NEVER parked a car in front of his house. He just didn't like having to look at someone else's car there. Same neighbor TODAY #####es when I go over to clear the snow from my father's driveway with his snow blower and snow ends up on top of his central air unit. IN THE FREAKING WINTER! WHEN IT IS ALREADY COVERED IN SNOW!

That wasn't where you were having issues with one of your neighbors as well? If not, sorry. My bad.

Makes no sense to park in front of tour house instead of his. Nothing wrong with asking for the rationale. Clearly he doesnt have any or just wants to keep in front of his house open for no good reason. Otherwise he would have told you. If he had any kind of good reason, like my wife has friends over for bridge and they are terrible drivers and can barely walk so i like to keep the room in front of my house for them, then he has every right. But if he is just doing it because he can, it is dumb.

You should buy the cheapest, loudest, smokiest POS car or truck you can find and park it front of his house. You know - the kind of car that you need to keep revving up so it doesn't stall. Then be sure to start it up late at night or early in the morning.

Agree, I was probably overly aggressive. That said, I'm not sure the right way to ask. "hey, can I ask you a favor, could you PLEASE park in front of your house instead of mine, with sugar on top?" He probably still gets annoyed.

Was this a 1 time deal or do they consistently do it? If it was just a 1 time deal chalk it up to temporary stupidity and let it slide. If they are constantly doing it then I'd say something. Probably in a little nicer manner than you did especially since your neighbors and all.

See original post. For some reason, they park their rental cars on the street. The last time they had a rental car, they parked in front of my house for two weeks straight while leaving the front of their house unoccupied.

"I statements"
Hello how are you? Can I ask a favor? I don't have room for both our cars in my driveway and garage. I would prefer to park here right in front of my house. Would you be willing to park in front of your house and leave this spot open in the future?

There is a spot on my block that only fits one car due to a no parking sign on one side and a hydrant on the other. This guy who lived on another block would park his motorcycle right in the middle of it when his car wasn't there to save the spot (he'd leave it so it was basically impossible to fit behind it and not enough clearance in front due to the hydrant) - I actually thought it was brilliant and it meant nothing to me since this is a spot that is more likely for your car to get side-swiped and I never park there to begin with.
Anyways, my neighbor across the street who is a very friendly woman asked him to stop doing that one day (this was directly in front of her brownstone) as she parks on the street too. The guy basically told her to #### off, she told me about the story. A week later, his bike was in the spot by itself, and I don't know how it happened, but the bike wound up laid out across the concrete.
Haven't seen the car or bike since.

This was going to be my suggestion.
If you're not feeling confrontational, park directly in front of his house. Either way he should get the message. If not, tell your wife to park in front of his house too and leave your drive way open.
If that doesn't get the message across... bang his wife in front of his house by the glow if their home going up in flames.

When I finally saw one of the guys who stored his car on my block (his was a suped-up Honda Civic), I played the helpful neighbor and told him I saw some guys pull up and check out his wheels a few nights earlier but I asked them if it was their car and they took off. He never parked there again.

Love this idea!! But you need to get a remote starter and just fire that thing up whenever the fancy catches you.
Either that or a handful of small nails sprinkled seemingly random, but strategically in front of your house could send a message.

Really really glad I have no close neighbors. It would really annoy me if someone regularly parked in front of my house.
Buffalo talk radio ran segments last year in which people basically complained about annoying neighbors: the guy who mows his lawn at 6am on a Saturday morning, the guy who #####es up a storm because the neighbors snowblower was getting snow on his property (not even in his driveway-just on his property), the neighbors who leave their dogs out all night barking in the middle of the night (I used to live in a neighborhood with this-regularly got woken up at 2-3 am). People just suck.
I now have a neighbor on one side about 75-100 yards from my house. Other side, about another 100 yards away, is a cow barn that I don't think even has cows in it any more. Worse thing I have to deal with now is people driving by and throwing trash in my yard (which is obviously very aggravating as well).

Ain't nothing like the white trash that parked his car on the joint lawn between our houses. Knew it was time to leave that area.

This drives me nuts. It's not hard to clean up after your own stupid mutt. At. All. I do it, all I ask is that my redneck neighbors respond in kind.
Heard/saw one of my non-redneck neighbors go nuclear two days ago on one of the perps about this. She landscapes a lot of the people's yards in this development and had been running over bombs on the reg for over a month. She lucked in to catching the culprit in the act of ####ting on her yard and unloaded on them. Response: "Oh, I didn't know I was supposed to pick up after it." She practically stripped this chick's skin from her back with the diatribe(was in my backyard and could hear it a block away). Girl was apologetic, "No, I don't know what its like to have a lawnmower in my garage that smells like #### all the time, I'm sure that's awful", etc, etc. Saw her yesterday walking the dog, bag in hand. Thought "Okay, maybe she's been straightened out. Good for her." Later that night my dog decides to spontaneously roll onto his back on our way back in from his last whizz of the night. Me: "That's odd. He doesn't do that very oft----oh, Jesus is that dog####?!" Spoiler: It was dog ####. In my front yard.
Saw another two bombs when I walked our dog again tonight, including on the property line of the landscaper lady's yard. Some people are just completely, willfully ignorant/#####. I'm thinking of harvesting every briquette'd turd I find this week and placing it on top of their mailbox.

Seriously I have spent the last 8-9 months with a newish big Chevy pickup halfway in front of my house. My neighbor came over and asked me if I would mind if he parked his truck sort of hanging over our shared property line on the street. He has another big Chevy pickup in the street in front of his house. He was being deployed to the ME--along with his buddy (who owned the other truck) and he knew he wouldn't be back for a year or more and he wanted to keep the driveway clear for his wife's cars. What am I supposed to say? They have a special needs kid and two huge bull mastiffs--so his wife has her hands full. She rotates the trucks so they don't get the ire of the cops in my area. but it is the least we can do for a guy out there defending us and he had the respect to come ask when he could have just done it.

The neighbors used to let their dog do this. After picking it up for a while, I just casually shovelled it on to their lawn. Soon, that #### stopped happening.
