"This was the last time she was parking in my driveway, period."

Holiday beef

Everyone likes free stuff, and what's not to like? It's free! However, some people really like free stuff—like, really, really like free stuff—and they'll go to great lengths to ensure they get it, even fighting dirty and using tools such as guilt and anger to do so. This is one of the reasons why it's, unfortunately, best not even to bother offering free stuff online; you're bound to be inundated with people who have too much time on their hands and are combing buy/sell pages trying to be the…

Part of the responsibility of setting rules is that you have to follow them. It is inconvenient, to be sure, but all you really need to do to avoid that inconvenience is make sure that you're setting fair rules that everyone, including yourself, should be following for the betterment of everyone affected. Everyone despises their HOA , but undoubtedly, rules like this are important when it comes to the fair enjoyment of your own space. No one likes to hear unnecessary noise from a neighbor. It's…

Neighborhood parking disputes have a way of unraveling quickly into lasting grudges: passive-aggressive notes and relentless attempts to get even for perceived slights. Living in close proximity to other people requires tact, understanding, and communal goodwill. It's surprising how many people don't get this or otherwise refuse to engage in simple pleasantries and goodwill. And it really baffles the mind how many people seemingly feel entitled to their neighbor's property and simply refuse to…

Cars and the parking of them is just one of those things that's always going to cause issues… When it comes to where you're looking to leave your one-ton hunk of metal on wheels, everyone has their own ideas about where you should or shouldn't, regardless of whether or not their ideas are in accordance with any actual laws or rules… Even if you're parking in front of your own home, there's bound to be some neighborhood busybody around just itching to tell you that you shouldn't do it. That's wh…

The only thing worse for a neighborhood than Airbnb is a soulless home-flipper

The proof is right there...

As a gamer myself, and having lived with other gamers, once that mechanical keyboard gets clacking and the team call-outs start rolling in intense moments, it's going to be noisy for everyone else around you. With absolute certainty, when you're intently focused on something, you underestimate the amount of noise you're making. In the early hours of the morning, these sounds are amplified by the relative quiet of the world around us. And when you add paper-thin walls to the equation, you're goi…

Simply declaring something to be true doesn't automatically make it so… and if you want to use your neighbor's property as your personal parking space, you can't just tell them that you've decided it's community property. Therefore, you have the right to park there. Some people just don't take no for an answer, and it's pretty clear here that this neighbor has some serious boundary issues, both conceptually and literally, that weren't going to improve without facing some consequences. If you gi…

Some folks need to mind their own business
