Get 8 or 10 buddies to come over, pick it up and put it in the middle of the street. Somebody will see to it that it's taken care of then, you can be sure.

He's showing you his stance of dominance. It's the equivalent of knocking you on the ground and peeing on you.

Tipping it over would be more fun, but your idea is more subtle and better.

Just torch it. If you don't have enough balls for that then puncher two tires. It's like slicing butter. :twisted:

Bats also come in handy...

Please tell me you paid 700k for that house. Please please please OP. Please tell me you burdened yourself with almost 1mil in debt for that house. PLEEEEAAAASSSSEEEEE!!

Do you want to know how I know you are an asshole? Hint: It's because you are.

I've had a towing company come and tow it for me before - they really have no reason not to since it's just free money to them. It's also against the law in many areas so a cop will ticket them and can tow it if needed.

yup. I'd call the cops first, because the assholes get the double whammy of the ticket (money for the city!) and cost of towing + impound.

That shit would infuriate me. So much so I would probably take a day off of work just to make calls and get it taken care of.

wow that would really grind my gears. i'd definitely call the non emergency police and tell them the situation and they will either tell you to call a tow truck or have a cop come check it out.

Ya call the local precinct and ask if they can come out or are you "allowed" to simply call a tow company to correct it.

Called the cops last night and when I drove out this morning to drop my daughter to school I see the ticket on his windshield. Hope that ass sore got a fat fine.

Now if he's not gone by noon fuck him I'm calling a tow company. I'd be damn if I'm going to have some asshole crap in my Cheerios all weekend and then the entire week.

what the hell--why have you tolerated this for more than a few hours, let alone several days + a few hours? Now that he has the ticket to his name, call the towing company and get his ass moved. I'm surprised the city didn't tow him on the spot, as that's an emergency hazard.

Though I guess they don't immediately tow you for blocking a fire hydrant, either. Just have him towed pronto. It costs you nothing. Oh and keep a gun near your front door for the next couple of weeks.

step one floor jack and wheel dollies.

step 2 push car away.

step 3 wooden blocks and release the air in the tires.

step 4 remove tires.

step 5 profit.

No no brother! You guys mistake me for something else. I'm sure it's a lucrative market, maybe even profitable! Just saying.... from those of us from out west enjoy that purchase

It's like you have some sort of disconnect from the rest of the world, pretty sure almost everyone who lives in a major city knows they could live in the middle of fuck stick no where for 1/4 of the cost.

They don't want to.

I found this to be so very similar to the OP's situation ... the ending was not expected:



Here’s How To Deal With Someone Parking In Front of Your Driveway


"And that's when I realized something.

When did I become one of those asshole people who complains about parking? I mean, really? Parking? Was I serious? Oh, I had to go over the curb for two seconds to get into my driveway, poor me. So what? Was this some great tribulation? Was I really exerting myself? Was I faced with a serious social inequity here?

And what's next? Would I stand in my doorway and yell at people whose dogs pee on my tree? Would I tell the garbage man to set the bin perfectly upright so I didn't have to bend over to pick it up? Would I start complaining about my dentures to cashiers at the grocery store? Was I really getting this angry about a parking space and a paper jam?

So to address the statement posed in the title, Here's how you deal with someone parking in front of your driveway, I have the answer: you don't. You grow up, you gain some perspective, and you move on. Assuming, of course, that they are only blocking a little bit of your driveway. If they're blocking the whole thing, you respond in an entirely different way: you start looking for an outlet where you can plug in your drill."

I was trying to be nice and be reasonable as well. I even left a nice notice on his windshield to let him/her know that the vehicle would be towed next time. When I saw that the idiot crapped on my notice then that was the last straw.

Bad move. At this point, I'd leave it. The police can ticket him multiple times if it persists. And that will get VERY expensive. He's not blocking you, it's just a burr in your ass. Don't start a war.

Fuck that. I hate people with no common courtesy.
I'm calling the tow truck.
