Get over yourself. I'm going to put out many more starting next Halloween.

So cringe.

Ignorance like yours is truly cringe-worthy.

INSTEAD they park their cars, strategically spaced just a little too far apart (so no one can try to park in between any of them) on the street directly in front of my driveway.

These people live across the street from me, so whenever you leave my driveway (backing out or driving straight) you almost hit their car. Every time. The people that sold us the house told us they’d hit their cars twice.

We have asked them to please not park directly in front of the driveway so we can get in and out. And we cannot park on the street on our side of the street because there is only parking allowed on one side (the neighbor’s side) because the street is so narrow. So we must use our driveway.

We now have a teen driver, and after 15 years of living here we have asked them, politely again, and they said no. They’ve become famous on the street for being difficult for absolutely no reason. They just insufferable.

We have the same or very similar neighbors. Ours have had their car hit by the neighbors whose driveway they’re parking across from at least once- maybe more, I’m not sure. Also, ours park cars across from two different neighbors’ driveways- and, the vehicles are “vintage,” a nice way of saying that they are old and beat up looking. So, we all get to look out the window at their junky-looking vehicles, while they can’t see them from their house. Crazy.

I doubt people would intentionally park their junky looking car somewhere across the street from their home just so they won’t have to see it! 😂

Fool. One of my neighbors did it. He would never park his falling apart van in front of his own house. He has a nice driveway that will fit 4 cars and can park up and down on his side of the street. Instead he started parking in front of other neighbors houses. One went off on him and he stopped. He was also a psycho about others parking on the street. He saw my lawn crew pull up to park in front of my house and he ran to his car and drove up on them so they couldn't get their equipment out. I walked out and recorded as they moved forward and I let him know I'd call the police if he moved forward and blocked them again. He also keeps running and losing races in our district. He's also a pathological liar and his wife vandalizes people's yards. They are horrible neighbors.

It's amazing how far that smell carries. I can smell it when cars drive by, and know who are the dopers in the area.

You are definitely not an apartment person

Everyone should be an apartment person. It's environmentally responsible!

I grew up in an apartment. Cleaning was a breeze because we lived minimally and I liked that.

But I really doubt you would want me as a neighbor now. I have very noisy hobbies such as woodworking. I am hammering, drilling and running my equipment whenever I have a free chance.

It’s OK for people to be apartment people, but it’s also OK for people to not be apartment people. Not everybody has the same lifestyle and sometimes your lifestyle changes.

This hobby sounds like a waste of resources. Your time would be better spent helping your neighbors with cleaning, cooking, and raising their children. It takes a village!

DAFFUQ?

It takes a PARENT to raise a child. Not a village. A village typically has an idiot somewhere. You want the village idiot raising our kids?


Are YOU the village idiot?

Neighbors who don’t understand the simple rules of a civilized society such as don’t park across the street directly in front of my driveway and don’t mow the lawn on weekends. Have a lawn service do it during the week while I am at work. Don’t need to hear noise on the weekend.

Pretty sure PP was being sarcastic. Maybe put down the hammer and pick up some books.

I WFH and I need quiet during the week. I don't want to hear noise while I am working.

A child that is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth.

The "piles of junk all over front yard and filling driveway" people had trees cut and left logs in front yard, for kids to play on. They added adirondack chairs to sit in front.

Apartment folks can have hobbies, but they need to be within reason. For example, some acceptable ones might be stamp/coin collecting, puzzles (jigsaw, crossword), knitting, scrapbooking, reading (especially on a Kindle).

But musical instruments, dancing, cooking, or woodworking are not ok, if you live in an apartment community.
