I can't even think of a word that would cover what these neighbors are.
Anyways, I have a small car (Suzuki Reno, front wheel drive, VERY light) that doesn't do well in snowy weather. Our back driveway to get to our parking lot is garbage. I mean, I lived on the mountains on DIRT roads that weren't plowed, and I could manage the mountains better than this. It doesn't help that to connect to the alley way, you have to drive up a slope (about 45 degrees or so, I'm bad at estimating) and you cannot see if someone is driving on the alleyway until you're basically up it, and they cannot see you. So, if this all turns to ice, we park out front on the borough street. We did this last year as well, without any problems. Unfortunately, about a month or two ago, I started being harassed for it. I was called lazy (because I wouldn't shovel my driveway, which the landlord is supposed to do, but can't because of the layout of the driveway, which he cannot change because the driveway part isn't actually HIS land), and I had some woman in my face, plus two notes, I was cussed at, and I had chew spit on my windshield two or three times. Cops couldn't do anything about it, because I didn't have proof. Now, being pregnant and due in early April, plus having to tote a toddler around (he was a year in late November), I prefer to be able to park NEAR my place. If I have to park across the street, I do it without saying anything, but, especially in the cold, I just don't want to wait for traffic and let my son get cold, plus, he's HEAVY and doesn't walk (he does inside, but not outside, and there's no way in heck that he'd be able to actually walk across a street or anything like that). Anyways, like I said, if I HAVE to park across the street, I do, and I don't complain. However, these people actually want me to park over there so that they can park right in front of their building. They really expect me to cart my big belly and my son across the street, just to accomodate them. If we're parked there, and leave, they'll actually take the time to move one of their vehicles into the spot we were at, just so that we can't park there. These are people who are about 35ish, and they can't walk their butts across the street without throwing a baby fit.
Took this picture tonight:
The orange car (the itty bitty thing up there) is mine, it was parked there since yesterday, and the other neighbor was behind me. Then the dork in the white truck pulled his truck up about 12 inches off of my bumper, and left that much space behind him, JUST to be an ass. I'm just frustrated and would love for him and his wife to understand that they do NOT own the borough street, and I'm so sick and tired of them harassing me over something so juvenile and stupid.
