This might be a bit confusing but bear with me.
I had to move a 3rd vehicle out of the garage but I had another vehicle on the driveway so I moved it and parked it to the nearest parking space available which was across the street, right in front of my neighbors house with the intention of moving it right back On to my driveway once i drop the 3rd car off. My husband wasn't home and I am with a 19month old and I had to take this car and drop it off at another location. My husband had asked one of his guys to come by and drive this third vehicle to where it needs to be while I drove another vehicle so that I can drop this guy back off after dropping this 3rd vehicle off. Anyway, after this was all done, my huusband called asking me to come meet him in sd because they had a few hours of liberty so off to sd I go. When I returned home, I tried to move the 2nd car that I had parked in front of my neighbore's house, but I found the car sandwiched between two of the neighbor' cars with only 1" leeway on both end. The next day when the car parked in front of my car was gone, I proceeded to remark my car on my driveway. There was a note on the windshield stating, "I suggest you don't park in front of my house or anyone else's especially when there is a spot in your own home. Please feel free to discuss this with me when I get home from work. -ssgt". First of all, WOW. I was a little upset because this was the first time our car was ever parked anywhere else but our driveway and they didn't even give me a chance to explain or find out the situation. Second of all, ssgt? Is that suppose to intimidate me? Do you not have a name? We may look younger than you but my husband is also the same rank but even if he wasn't that would not intimidate me at all! I don't want any issues with my neighbors so I went over to apologize. The spouse who's usually very friendly, all of a sudden was not. I explained the situation hoping theyd be understanding but all I get is, "out of the 12 years in the military, this has never happened to us. It's like an apartment, when someone parks on your assigned parking." then she continues to say, "usually I leave this for the husbands to take care of but since your husband isnt here, I accept your apology." we'll I'm glad you accepted the apology but I wish you'd understand what happened. It was intentional to have the car parked there all day AND this was the first time it happened. You couldn't have said something to me in a nice way or since it's not a constant issues, find out what the situation is. I didn't know street parking was assigned! Geezus! Ugh! Sorry this has been bothering me. I try to be such a good neighbor and never complain but people are just unbelievable. If someone parked in front of my house, yes I'd question who it is but I would not go out of my way to block the car in and leave notes. If it was an ongoing issue, then yes, I will talk to whoever nicely. But seriously? Over street parking? And then pulling rank? Get the fuck out of here!

(correction) wasn't* intentional....

1. I'm confused as to why your husband wanted your third vehicle dropped off at a different location by a friend other than where he was in San Diego, but that's between the two of you lol.

2. I understand where they are coming from with parking on the street when you have driveway space (this is just in general, not about your situation because they didn't know). Did you know it was their car blocking you in? If so, why didn't you go and ask them to move so you could get out and explain your situation? My driveway is 2 cars deep + the garage, but yet I still have parking issues with my neighbors. Like ONE person taking up an entire section of parking and leaving their vehicle in the MIDDLE so that no one can park. Or the neighbors whose friends park their car behind the neighbor's two cars thus leaving their car halfway in the street. 

Wiscogirl --- 13 years ago -

Wow that's ridiculous! Why did they have 2 cars parked on the street when they could have been utilizing their driveway and/or garage?? The street is for anyone and everyone. I try to keep both of our cars in the driveway/garage but it's hard when I start work at 6am and have to park in the garage because my husbands truck doesn't fit. I'm not going to move his truck out of the driveway then my car then put his truck back every morning. It's not practical and sometimes you have to park on the street. Apparently your neighbors are on some kind of high horse. Maybe you should just park there for fun lol. I hope they get the stick out of their you know what, best of luck.

Might I add another parking peeve is when people park AT the stop sign ON TOP OF the "STOP" paint (which is illegal). Because it then pushes you into the oncoming traffic lane and having to hope no cars have a right of way (and yes, at a stopped position I should see oncoming cars and the oncoming cars should see me, but there is very little room to maneuver)

The third vehicle was my brother in laws and he isnt in the area so we had to take it off base for the tow trucks to pick up. My hubby is on ship so he doesnt need a car.
Yea it was their car because They had to block their driveway to make sure they were only an inch in front of me and they have a thirdy vehicle parked on the street that is pretty much in the middle of what could be 2 parings. They actually moved it up so that in was right behind my car If it was pulled forward closer to their home then I would have been able to park my car behind it and not be right in front of their home. I totally understand the parking issue but I dont think they had take it that far. I would have knocked to have them move their car but it was 1030 at night when I came home and I felt it was too late to bother them. I just feel like they should have talked to me the next day and figure out the situation before doing all that. It wasn't intentional, it never happened before, and at the end of the day, it's still street parking...unassigned. I apologized and I do understand why it could have bothered them but they could have handled the situation better. Ugh, I just hate having issues with anybody especially my neighbors. :/

Maybe write them a letter explaining, as you did above.

They would have to be complete a holes to not understand.. And you would have done all you can so have nothing to feel bad about. 

Wiscogirl --- 13 years ago -

I dont think you need to write a letter or explain yourself. You did nothing wrong!! So what of you parked your car on the street ONE time. It's a community street. You didn't make a habit out of it. I think they just need to get over it. They apparently park both of their cars on the street. These people seem like they are not worth your time or energy if they are going to act like middle schoolers over community parking!

I think a letter is definitely warranted. Something like this...
Dear SSGT Douchebag and his subservient wife,

I had no idea that the unbelievably high rank of SSGT garnered you the ownership of the public street parking in front of your house. Since my husband is also a high powered SSGT, I too will frown on anyone parking in front of my house, and will also post notes on their cars in an equally douchebag manner.

Suck it. Yours truly.

Lol.

I started to write my apologies and explanation on the same note that was left on my windshield but i thought going over there in person to talk to them would be better but no, regardless of the situation, I am still in the wrong. Some people just don't have class. Honestly I am your neighbor, just because we live on base, rank don't mean shit to me and I did nothing wrong. 

CuteCurlyC --- 13 years ago -

I don't know why you went over to apologize. I would have gone over to clear up the issue but definitely not apologize! You did nothing wrong. Street parking is for everyone, if they want assigned parking they need to use their garage and driveway. 

SoonToBeJD --- 13 years ago -

You didn't do anything wrong! That guy was just a dick. I'd park there just for kicks after that. 

Champ --- 13 years ago -

I would have sent my husband over there to tell him he is a douche, and if I did it myself I would have been a bitch- I in no way would apologize to someone who is being an @ss about a simple one time situation. Then I'd proceed to park both my cars in front of their house for a week with two-three feet space inbetween.

Okay not really, but jenkies what jerks!
