I needed one of these earlier tonight. A 2 car space out the front of my joint proudly occupied by one Corolla. And I think it's a local too

[goodfella]

Common prob in my street too ... and its mostly the neighbours that do it ..grrr !

[woofy]

We live on a section of the street where there is:

A: A house on the corner of a busy road with a long block, big yard and 4 lazy sons who can't be stuffed opening the gate to park in their huge carport, so park 4 cars down the street so that they are almost at our driveway.

B:The neighbours directly opposite us have a garage and driveway which for some reason never get used, so park another car with the above mentioned neighbours cars on our side, and then two directly opposite our driveway making it always fun to get in and out. Even more fun was when they watched the removal truck trying to get in last year instead of moving their cars out of the way. I think they wanted their cars to get hit, as they both are riddled with dents.

C: Neighbours on our other side have one car too many, not sure why, there are two parents and little kids, yet 3 cars. So another spot taken, quite often the last remaining out the front of our place, for some reason, never outside their place.

Which leads me to D which in the SE areas of Melb is one of the biggest causes of congested street parking: A townhouse/duplex across the road, it has about 5 cars on the street, at any given time usually parked well away from their house as they obviously don't like them cluttering up the front of their house, or driveway but its fine to park outside everyone elses house, (like mine!-never any car in that garage either and its empty?).

I've lived a few places that have this house, usually there are more on the street. The reason they have so many cars is there about 5 chinese students boarding in there with the owners. Our house was formerly like that when we bought it last year. Upon inspection of our place there were 3 students boarding with the tenants, none of which has permission to be. It would be fine if they had been honest, but the original owner didn't know either, and it was like a live in hotel with the mother in law cooking away for the tenants and their twins, and all the students. our house isn't that big, eitehr is the one across the road. I used to live opposite a McMansion that had about 8-10 cars parked on the street, pretty much most of that small street parking was taken by one house.

Anyway as a result of the nearly 30 somethings still living at home, and the study shop across the road, we have no parks ever outside our house, the garbage truck has trouble getting to the bins, as quite often one of the parking nuff nuffs will park right beside the bins. And none of our friends can ever park outside our own place to visit. Its a long huge street, just sometimes I wish there were rules, or etiquette about someone parking too many cars around there, its not a caryard!

We live in a 3 townhouse complex, we have one park for visitors as do the other two people there, none of us park on the street, and yet there are 8 of us at one address. Maybe we should start issuing car park spaces on the street. Up the road about 5 houses there is a stretch for miles with no cars on the street. Only near us, and the best part of all....we are right off a very big busy street that is 80km/hr so everyone comes round the corner and nearly collides with these cars every day. I think one time I will come home and find a huge stationary car pileup. I thought maybe the hail storm might get some of them off the street but alas, I think it missed us.

Anyway I'd issue these, but all of them are neighbours!

OMG that's fantastic! It provided many lols to a boring Land-Arch tutorial.

lol, ^^^^^^^^^^ pissed off much woofy?

[woofy]

Yes! How could you tell? Also the Mailman seems to randomly throw things to everyones mail boxes on our street. He has delivered our parcels multiple times to said Study house!

[Merlin8r]

Haha Woofy, I can sympathise! Our neighbours on one side delight in parking their cars in front of our house, instead of theirs. They have a carport full of junk, and enough street frontage for 2 cars. But they choose to park in front of ours. I've even asked them not to. They stopped for a week. Worse still, (and this really grinds my gears), they put their garbage bins in front of our house. Who does that??

[gareth_oau]

oh damn, Ive got a double garage and enough driveway for 6 more cars! LOL

The last house we rented, and ALL the neighbours put their bins on our front strip. Apparently it was due to the truck only backing down. Ironically it backed down as the street always had so many cars parked on it, but in reality it could turn around and mostly did that. What annoyed us even more was that they would sometimes leave their bins there for days, and then move them really late at night/early the next morning and our bedroom was right at the front. Even better was when they moved OUR bins further down the street and put theirs in their place. Sometimes ours were then missed or knocked over when that happened.

When that happens, just burn their bins...

Sheesh, if I had a driveway or carport I'd definitely withstand the 'inconvenience' and use it. None of the places I've had since moving out of home have had off-street parking so a driveway would be heaven (well, almost).

At my old place, the council issued permits to residents who could then park in permit zones. It didn't stop many visitors to the near-by pubs and cafes using them. My landlord - who lived just behind my place - would even call the council and get them all ticketed - even late at night or on a weekend!

And speaking of bins, last week one of my neighbours decided to dump their garbage in my bin straight after it had been emptied (and still on the street). Filled it right up so I couldn't use it. Pretty sure it was someone from a unit behind me who was moving out and just didn't care. I put up an angry note and told the land agent, but nothing!

Thanks for that, will come in very handy, especially when parking around uni
