parking issues??? Opinion.?

I'm just curious what everyone's opinions are on this.

I live in a suburban area with my family, and some would consider it "upper class".

Anyways, my family and I have a lot of cars because of the fact that there are three teenagers in the house. Obviously, living in a suburban area, there's not a lot of parking, unless we can do it in front of the house.

We are planning to get rid of a car or two.

We occasionally have to park in front of the neighbor's across the street house. We don't let our car sit there for weeks on end, the longest it will be there is for a day.

Anyways, one of the cars we own was this old blazer.

The women across the street has always been kind of a stuck up, snobby kinda person.

She left a note one night on the blazer saying "it's fine if you want to junk up your own front yard, but move the piece of junk from my front yard".

I considered that really rude and obviously would not want to listen to that.

Anywho, I left my car parked there for the day because I had the day off...

I got a nicer note this time "please don't park here, thanks".

But I still think it is childish to leave notes, if they would have just came over and asked, I'd have no problem with it...but leaving notes makes me not want to cooperate.

Any opinions on this? It's public streets...public parking, no home owners association, no nothing.

I just feel like disregarding their notes because I find it childish...and we don't take up the whole sidewalk with one car! we're at least cautious of that..

    Just be mature about it and move the car...

    Its never a good idea to purposely irritate your neighbors. You have to live next to them so try to get along with them.. You never know just how crazy a person is.. if you piss her off she might vandalize your car.

    Rowdy makes a good type of the information sparkling, yet i'm truly particular (extra valuable legal minds tahn mine can maximum ideal) that even if or not they don't credit you with the overtime for the extra funds, their receipt could nonetheless element out the more beneficial cost has been paid (as this may have tax implications among different issues). Failure to furnish an precise receipt might want to be classed as a breach of settlement (they're effectively letting (promoting) you their vehicle parking area for a era of time). you should hence be waiting to make a case, if 60p became a valid cost for the minimum era allowed by utilizing the meter, they'd implicitly universal that price for the further era (assuming 3 hours wasn't a maximum era "without go back"). Implied contracts are (i'm truly particular in Scots regulation and really in uk employment regulation - regardless of the reality that no longer particular about else the position) as binding as a written settlement (regardless of the reality that in many circumstances harder to coach). in reality, i'm particular truly particular that until eventually the parking regulations stated "maximum era x no go back interior of y" AND the meter credited you with the completed quantity paid (esp without change given) that you will be waiting to make adequate legal noise for them to dismiss teh penalty cost note if no longer change the way parking is enforced nationally. If both the above circumstances are met then you are almost actually screwed regardless of the reality that that is of route unjust.

    Instead of struggling to gain support for being 'right'.....you know she doesn't like your parking there....so, instead of making a deal out of it, how about being considerate and just parking your caravan of cars away from her immediate area?

    I'm sure there's other places you can park....right?

    So...why not just do that and be done with it?

    This woman doesn't own the street in front of her house...anyone can park there. It doesn't matter who they are or what kind of car they drive.
