Crappy Halloween Parking

[bhskittykatt]

So, in my town there are the "good" trick-or-treating neighborhoods. People from out in the county where there's no trick-or-treating will come to these neighborhoods to obtain their sweet candystuffs. My friend lives in one of these neighborhoods (which is the one my daddy always drove us too, since at the time we lived out in the county in the middle of nowhere).

Unfortunately, some of these visitors to the neighborhood are stupid. They'll speed through the streets with all the kids running about. But most annoyingly to my friend, they'll park anywhere, including across her driveway. She had a meeting to get to, but couldn't leave, because a minivan was blocking her in.

While her neighborhood is awesome for trick-or-treating (guaranteed lots of candy, and some of the houses really go all-out on the decor), I would really hate to live there on Halloween night! (At least, I would hate to live there and have to go somewhere.)

What a douchebag.

Anyone that parks across someone else's driveway without permission deserves to have their car towed.

Sounds like some of the idiots that park in my neighborhood. There's an elementary school just around the corner. Whenever they have an event (parent/teacher conferences, breakfast with Santa, etc.) I dread it.

One of my neighbors had someone park across his driveway. Since he had to leave for work, he was pissed. He got his wife's SUV, backed it up within an inch of the driver's door, and left a nasty note under the wiper. I don't know how the driver *didn't* know about the driveway--there are massive brick posts either side!

I've had someone park halfway across my driveway. The kicker? They live two doors down, and have their own fracking driveway.

I've been contemplating getting laminated cards to put under windsheilds anonymously, with "Try not parking like an ASS next time" printed on them.

If you're going for keeping your driveway clear have them say something like, "FREE PARKING: You get one freebie. The next time this car is parked so that it blocks my driveway, I will be calling the tow truck."

Then again, I've been known to be a bit ... forthright.

Or flipped...And shoved into a ditch...while the car is empty, of course

"Try not parking like an ASS next time" printed on them.

There is a site out there that gives out bumper stickers to that effect, with the intention that you will place them and send in snapshots. Probably best not to link it from here, tho.
