One has a car with Wisconsin plates. One with California plates. I suppose they could be exempt but we live in Western Loudoun so I doubt they work on the Hill or are in the military.
I ended up behind the car with California plates today at a stop sign as we both pulled out of our driveways at the same time. The plates expired in June 2024.
I am normally a live and let live person, but tax avoidance costs everyone more. Would you report this if you were in my shoes? I am trying to decide…
Don't be that neighbor. How miserable must your life be to devolve to this level of pettiness.
What is actually wrong with you? Were you born with this character defect or did you develop it later in life?

Take the initiative, introduce yourself (maybe bring them some cookies), and get to know them a little bit.

No. We toured the House of Terror in Budapest last summer. One in three Hungarians was reported by their neighbors or family during the Communist regime. No way do I want to live in this type of society.
