This neighbor complaint is a new one on me.

[docellis]

My racist neighbors have people over every day and sometimes they stay overnight, even during the week, despite both working m-f 8-5 kind of jobs. I don't really care if they have people over all day every day and all night, but for whatever reason -- all their friends park in front of my house instead of theirs. So people are always half walking thru my yard/driveway and making my dog go nuts. Still don't really care, but it spooks me. Before they moved in my street rarely had any traffic whatsoever.

Thing is, we aren't part of a homeowner's association or anything like that. I just really don't get what the big boner is all about.
Let's say the street runs east and west. 99% of the year I park on the north side. No questions asked. My next door neighbor has no problem even though it is in front of his house. So for 8 hours I park a trailer on the south side and get a stupid note?
I'm tempted to gather my junk vehicles...72 Dodge camper, 85 Ford truck and my trailer and parking them all on their side of the street and there isn't a thing they could do about it.

Whatever velocity I had on my fastball was gained by hurling fallen gumballs in my back yard.

My guess your neighbor is upset because a truck and trailer parked on the street is considered an eye sore. I remember my old neighborhood in Rockford was pissed at one of my neighbors because he parked his boat in the street for part of the year.

I wonder if your earlier tickets are related to this neighbor. Maybe they asked the cops to harass you or something.

I don't think so on a couple of levels. One, we aren't in a high end area, so I don't think my trailer is an eyesore. Also, what is the difference if I park it in basically the same place, just on the other side of the street? Plus, they have six [expletive] cars in their back yard and most of them haven't moved since they moved in. I do think they aren't the ones who reported me before because they have only lived there for about a year.

And about eyesores...how about their trying to reside their house that now has no siding on the entire second floor of their house? Just that ugly brown crap with plastic over the windows. They can go to hell.

Thanks, The neighborhood.

More stupidness that can be attributed to narrow-minded people leveraging HOAs:

Controversial lawn decoration ignites battle within neighborhood: 'Why would you do this?'

This woman was so upset about a frog statuette in her neighbor’s lawn that she reported it to her homeowner’s association (HOA) — and the rest is history.

In the post, which drew hundreds of comments and went viral on Twitter, anonymous28538382348 explains that she goes on walks through the neighborhood with her husband and 6-year-old daughter every day.

“Recently one of our neighbors put up a frog statuette up for display outside their house,” she wrote. “I find it really creepy … my daughter hates it. She is absolutely terrified of it. Now she refuses to go on walks.”

Anonymous28538382348 said she went to the house to ask the owners to move the statuette so it was “no longer on display,” but they declined. She immediately reached out to a neighbor, who is vice president of the HOA, hoping to “force them to take the statuette down.” The neighbor said the statuette is a violation of HOA bylaws, so the frog’s owners were forced to take it down and are now being fined.

In my old neighborhood (a pretty funky/weird/occasionally run down place) there was a house with a 10 foot flagpole with a giant teddy bear head impaled on it.

My won was little, but he found it amusing.

Suck it up, parents.

In fairness, this frog is weird.
