I didn't think I'd ever be one of those people that got all bent out of shape about a parking spot on a public street-- until my dirtbag neighbors would park in front of my house to buy / sell / smoke drugs for hours at a time.
I'd run to the grocery store, come back 20 minutes later and there'd be a car in "my" spot, chiefed out, stereo blasting and a fresh pile of fast food garbage on the ground by the passenger side. So lovely! An hour or two later the friend / pal / customer was gone, and I'd get to clean up the wrappers, bones and Phillies blunt wrappers left behind. If I didn't, gulls would show up and make even more of a mess.
So I bought an old truck off a friend, parked it out front, and started keeping my "real" car down the block. Problem solved.
i'mrightyourwrong, I did! When I moved to a place with a driveway (which is a HUMAN RIGHT as far as I'm concerned) I let the tags expire and sold it on craigslist.
Hey neighbor, if you're reading this, it is illegal for this dick to leave his car parked in front of your house for more than 24 hours without moving it. Whenever he does this, call the city on the second day. Also, it would be unfortunate for someone to key that car from front to back some dark night (wink, wink).
