The Vent and Rant Thread

[ApK]

I'm getting sick of the neighbors' visitors who insist on parking smack in the middle of curb area where two cars could easily fit, so no other car can fit in front or behind them. And each of their visitors do it, so each car blocks all the available street parking in front of the neighboring houses. One of those houses being mine.

Could be worse. A person I used to work with came home one evening and found a car parked in their two-car garage. They parked, closed and locked the garage door and went off to bed. At 3:30 in the morning, they woke up to loud knocking on the door. When they answered the door, they found two police officers and a 30-ish woman. She claimed he was maliciously blocking access to her car. After some back and forth, one of the police officers asked why she had parked in someone else's garage without their permission. The answer was the neighbour she was visiting said it would be okay. "Is it their garage? Well, no but they said it would be okay." After a few more minutes in which the police explained the concept of private property and trespassing, the woman was allowed to remove her car from the garage and depart. The next day, the neighbour was rather upset that he had locked her car in instead of asking around the neighbourhood to see whose car it was.

I think I've heard most of that story before, but that last part, OMFG, that person needs a boot to the head.

I recall a similar story, except once the guest moved their car, the police arrested them for drunk driving.
