I woke up the other day to discover that there were a bunch of cars parked along the side of the road outside of my house. Normally not a problem, but, two of them were parked such that they were completely blocking my driveway! Now... I had shit to do! So, recognizing the vehicles as belonging to guests of one of my neighbors, i walked up and knocked on the appropriate door.
Me: Hi. I'm not sure who belongs to those cars, but...
N: Yeah, those are my friends.
Me: Oh, well... could you ask them to move them? They are parked across the end of my driveway, and i need to get out.
N: Ugh... Yeah, sure... Let me go wake them up. Be out in a minute. (i'll point out that this was around 10am)
Me: Thanks.
Seems reasonable enough, right? 5 minutes later, the cars are still there. 10 minutes go by, then 20, still no movement. A critical error has been made. RestaurantDude has been angered. An hour after my initial request, i am watching both cars heading down the street. ...On the back of a tow truck.
It isn't exactly as though my driveway is hard to miss. It isn't obscured by trees or anything. But, these two dillweeds parked in such a way as to make it impossible for a fart to escape my driveway, let alone a car!
I haven't heard from the neighbor yet, but, i'll keep you all posted on any developments.
