Have any of you responders noticed that the OP has not answered any of the
suggestions? I'm thinking this Suzie-Q is just another ignorant troll who
has had some fun with you all.

My neighbor occasionally parks his car in front of my house.
It usually doesn't stay there for long -- maybe a few hours.
But as of today he has had his car parked in front of my house
for three or four days.


I think you have to ignore it unless he makes a practice of it then you have
to get devious because nothing irritates an asshole more than doing to him
as he did to you.

In my neighborhood the law looks askance on vehicles that are "abandoned"
and they define that as parked more than three days. Anyone can complain to
the cops about a vehicle and they come out and red tag it and watch it for
three days before taking action.

The problem with that is that true assholes know all about it and simply
move the car a couple of feet. If he does that he identifies himself as a
true asshole and some people just have him tagged again but quickly remove
the tag so he doesn't see it. That way he gets towed away as he deserves,
never to do it again or even to know what happened.

Of course I would never so that!

I spoke with the neighbor logically and politely, as a few of you
recommended, and he moved the car immediately. I was still worried
that he might not be happy with my request. I did mention the mailbox
and elderly woman problems.

No, I'm not a troll. Just someone with many questions/situations for
which I find this group extremely helpful.

Thanks to all who replied -- even those of you with not-so-helpful
replies. You entertained me.

And you couldn't come up with that solution prior to asking in here? It
truly amazes me at the inability to think for themselves that some people
have. How have you gotten through life to this point with such a complete
lack of common sense?

Gee Dan C you just identified yourself as a complete moron.
I would tell you not to reply, but being a moron you probably will.
But I will never see your posts again.

Screw you and the horse you rode in on. Just who do you think you are,
trying to dictate what someone can post?

Keep your sexual perversions out of it, will ya?

I'll try to explain it in simple terms for you. There are over 50,000
newsgroups, each with a topic (the title gives some clues). Why bother
having all these groups if you can just post whatever you want in any of
them? Can you understand that concept?

Take a hike loser.


I think not.

It's housing related, and certainly an appropriate question. What's wrong
with bouncing things off other people? A lot of people can relate their
firsthand experiences, then you can decide which way to go. Not a big deal.
Besides, you don't have to read the thread if it offends you.

Thanks, Dave, but he's really not worth the effort you took to
type your response.

Thanks again for entertaining me! What would we all have to laugh at if

You need to sling some brake fluid all over it with some eggs at night.
Vandalize the hell out of it and then plead ignorant if they ask. Bust out
a window or two and tear off the side view mirror would help.

Slash a tire if you are really desperate.
