Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Of course I want you to have them move them

OMG sj you have my old neighbors! They don't have 5 terribly unruly (read: feral!) kids do they? I remember once I went to go to the grocery store one Saturday morning about a year after they had moved in and found that half of their yard sale stuff was in our yard. AND they were having people who were stopping at the yard sale park in our driveway because "they didn't think we'd mind". Yeah, there's a reason we sold the house and live on a boat. Frankly, sometimes I think that people are so rude and self-centered that they don't even think, they just do what's most convenient for them never even thinking about anyone else. So in conclusion: your neighbors are total asshats!! And they should thank their lucky stars that you are a much nicer person than they are and you didn't just have all the cars towed (which is what I would have done)

What is even happening?

Really, what's wrong with people? I don't even park in the driveways of my friends I'm going to visit (never mind their NEIGHBORS), unless it's illegal to park in the street, and even then, only once the friend tells me to pull in her yard.

The status is NOT quo.

Rude fucking people who've been raised by car-driving wolves.
What Cashmere said. Grr. Also snerk, because she put it so perfectly.

Only two feral teenagers, but at least the kids know where to park their cars.

Too many people, it seems. Deb Grabien has that sort of trouble all the time.

I remember this. I think she has had them towed in the past, which is what gave me the idea. What would Deb do comes in handy a lot.

They moved them before I could. I'm really not that nice. I was seeing about five shades of red by the time this was all dealt with. What pissed me off the most was the woman's attitude which seemed to suggest that I was going to say no big deal. That didn't happen. Me having to drag all my bags twice as far with a back that is about to crack any minute is a very big deal. Parking in Worcester sucks, so we specifically pay extra to have a damn driveway.

Oh I know!! That was always the former neighbor's attitude too. It made me so angry. I'm so sorry. Plus having to drag the groceries down the street. Man, I woulda killed someone. (Really we sold the house because we couldn't deal with them any more. 8 years was our limit)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A friend of mine once borrowed my car to take a trip. Before he left he parked it in a neighbor's driveway. Then one of the neighbors came home and parked him in before leaving for class. So my friend had to wait three hours for her to come back before he could leave on his trip. He was so mad at her for parking him in.

My friend could be self-centerd at times.

This was going to be my other option, except the asshat parked at the end of the frelling driveway so I couldn't even park behind him. Teacup Guy and I just watched an episode of Eureka and I'mfeeling slightly less homicidal.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
