This neighbor complaint is a new one on me.

[Leroy]

Last night, I pulled our trailer over to set up for a show we are doing tonight. I drove back home and parked on the street and left the trailer hooked up. This morning I had a note that read "Please do not park here. Thank you. The neighborhood".

What the hell is that all about? I'm pretty sure I know the people that left the note. They have a corner lot and never park on the street. What exactly am I harming by this? And 'The Neighborhood'? Please, I've parked there for years and no one has said [expletive] to me. At least sign your name to the note you [expletive] coward.

Sorry, I'm getting angry.

Check ur regs. Know we cant't park em on streets in unincorporated STL County

Well our town does have an ordinance that you can't leave a vehicle in the same spot for 24 hours. But I've left that trailer parked there year round. They finally stopped ticketing me when they realized I would just pull it forward a foot, and then backward a foot.

I just think that if they have a problem, they should either talk to me or take it up with the cops. Leaving a note on my truck just makes them look like jerks.

what the hell is South Dakota coming too?

It amazes me how people go out of there way to look for [expletive] to upset them. If you left it in the street, isn't that public property? How can someone tell you where and where not to park if it isn't their property?

At least they were mildly nice in the letter. I parked my truck in front of my parents house once and somebody left a letter saying "If I see this truck here again, I'm calling the police."


What's great about having a very large truck now is that when I park in spaces, it gets very close to both sides of the space. I'm very good about getting the truck as dead center as possible, but a lot of people don't understand that a vehicle can be near the edges of a spot yet still be centered. I've had this truck for a year and I've received 3 passive aggressive notes. One even called me something that rhymes with punt. I really should stop throwing them away and start scanning them to show off. They always make me laugh pretty hard.

If it were me who didn't want you parking on my street, I would just punch in the face and tell you to get out of my beach community.

I guarantee that whoever wrote that note will at some point in the future have to either park their cars on the street or will have an event or family gathering that requires other people to park their cars on the street. It's just one of those things that everyone has to do every now and then in a suburban neighborhood.

My neighbor leaves his car in the street all the time. He has 3 teenage kids with cars, so there are always other cars parked in the street. It annoys me a little, but I'm not going to complain. I've parked trailers in the street, my truck, other cars; every now and then we have a big event here and have 15 cars lined up.

There are a few guys here at the plant that drive giant 3.5 ton king cab extended bed 12L turbodiesels. I have no problem with people driving them, just when they can't park the behemoth properly. I don't even mind them going over the lines and I have to park next to them as long as they're close. But what irks me is when they drive through the space to get to the one in front (so they can just drive straight out rather than having to back up to pull out) but don't go all the way. Their back tire will be on the dividing line, and they'll still have four [expletive] feet of bed space taking up my spot. And then I look like the jackass that didn't pull forward all the way so the ass end of my car is sticking out 3 or 4 feet.

I hate neighborhood home owners associations with a passion and this reeks of that kind of thing.

Seriously increases my blood pressure.
