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! |

Linux Registered User #327951 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.

Just who do you think you are, trying to dictate what someone can post? 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. -- If you're not on the edge, you're taking up too much space. Linux Registered User #327951 |

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.

Bust out a window or two and tear off the side view mirror would help. Slash a tire if you are really desperate. |
