Neighbor parking in front of house

This. I don't know why it is so hard for others to do this.

That whackadoodle down in NC claims he shot those 3 muslims over a similar parking issue. So, there's that.

Would this bother you? Isn't it weird? I'm thinking of asking them why they do it, the next time I catch them. What would you say to them?

I posted this exact complaint/question about 6 months ago and got my ass handed to me....a few sympathizers but mostly lots of nasty responses. Good luck OP. I chose to have a friendly conversation with our neighbors and got the "oh we are so sorry and will do our best to not do that anymore...". that lasted about a week. I finally gave up. Now when I back out of my driveway I give very little care or caution to their car. if I hit them on my way out - oh well so sorry didn't mean to do that...and I won't leave a note either.

So, you're ok with hitting your neighbors car because they park in front of your house? Interesting

Our car has been parked in front of our house for three days. The people down the road have had to park in front of their house.

Your neighbor is rude. They are right in theory, but it is rude.
We park one car on the street in front of our house, and there is one more space. Our neighbor parks there, but they have a lot of cars, asked us if it was OK and are friendly so we don't mind.

Seriously? Who the eff cares. You don't own the street FFS

I was unaware I needed to worry about where people park their cars on a public road. I live in Bethesda and people come weekday mornings, park their cars in front of my house , wait at the bus stop and take the bus to the metro (I asked them one day-its free parking). I could care less, good for them, park in front of my house, idk.

No because I do not own the street space in front of my house. Are you old, OP? The street is public property.

You are an entitled jerk. You do not own the street space in front of your house.

You're denting up your own car for this? That'll show them, I guess.

My neighbors do this, but they have a fire hydrant in front of their house and can't park there.

I don't understand why you would choose not to park in your own garage or in your own driveway or in front of your own house??? Can anyone explain this?

Everyone on our street does this. The only time people park otherwise is during parties, or during bad weather when they try to stay away from the street side trees . I would never think it's OK to routinely park in front of someone else's house.

It would annoy me, for sure; but, look on the bright side: burglars will think someone is home at yoir house if there is a car parked there.
