OT: Neighbor’s Truck is a Problem

[briansd1]

[quote=CA renter]
Not sure why you guys are piling on a poster with a **legitimate** complaint.

She’s not getting into anyone else’s business. This idiot with the truck is blocking her house — and she stated that there is very little distance between her house and the street. Not only that, but she isn’t able to park in front of her own house.

While it’s true that the street is public property, and everyone is legally allowed to park wherever they want, there is something to be said for being a considerate neighbor, and trying to treat others as you want to be treated.

Back when I was young and had multiple roommates, we always tried to keep our cars, and those of our guests in front of our own house. If we needed to park in front of someone else’s house for more than a day, we’d ask permission.

It never hurts to be considerate of other people.[/quote]

CA Renter, it was rude of Ricechex to tell the neighbor that he should not be parking in front of her house.

I sometimes read Miss Manners in the paper; and it’s never appropriate to be rude to someone and at the same claim to be considerate.

It is rude to tell other people that they are being rude.

If you want to be expedient and get something done, then sure, you may throw politeness out the window. But don’t claim that you’re the considerate one.

Calling law enforcement on someone is not the most neighborly or polite thing to do either, especially when it’s about your own “view”.

[quote=flu]Ricechex. In all seriousness, if it really bothers you, become friends with his girlfriend. Then you’ll control ever aspect of him and/or be one responsible for the breakup 🙂

No seriously, do a meet and greet thing with his girlfriend. You don’t need to worry about what to talk about. Somehow women just find ways to talk about anything 🙂

Anyway, meet with his girlfriend, and you know chit chat…And after some time. Do her a favor here and there. And the after some time, just ask her if she can talk to her bf about parking that thing elsewhere. Doesn’t hurt to try. In one case, you’ll might end up gaining a friend. In the worst case, you know you never want to deal with these people.[/quote]

Sound like something women are really good at. Can you really trust a woman friend?

Deal with it. The streets are public property. I own a box truck, used for private, non-commercial purposes, and I had a neighbor recently ask me to move it from the side of our driveway (on MY property) we parked it on because she didn’t like to see it at all. Not my problem. She suggested we take a few trees mature out so that we could park on our basketball court because it is a lower elevation on the other side of our lot. I was incredulous.

We all live on acre+ lots, and I have the right to park in my non-HOA driveway, just like he has the right to park in the street.

it is a big ugly truck, but he did move it, granted, it isn’t where you want it to be but he did move it, I would at least give them credit for that, it sounds like he doesn’t have too many options on where to park this? I would just figure out which side you want it on and call it a day, life is too short to be bothered by all that

*no I don’t own those trucks and I don’t even park my car in the driveway, it is garaged always*
