3 ladybugs Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) Well I just did something that took a lot for me to do and it didn't go over well. I live in a fairly urban suburban neighborhood. We all have roughly 3 car single car width driveways and we all have about 1 parking spot in front of our house. Well the neighbor across the street has someone that comes over EVERYDAY and they park in front of my house despite the fact that there is room in front of their house. I don't mind this as long as I know the street cleaner isn't coming by or a snow plow. So today, I saw them park there and I went out and asked nicely (really I was) if they could move their car if the street cleaners came through. The guy then told me that there are leaves on the other side of the road and they need to be cleaned up too. I said yes but how is that my problem. I am asking you nicely to just move your car. This is important to me (it should be noted I have neighbors that have their grass growing in the street and he never parks in front of their house). He then went on how I don't own the street and yata yata yata. I HATE confrontation. Seriously I avoid it all costs. I knew that he had a legal right to park in front of my house (otherwise I would have just let the police deal with him) but I thought if I were nice I might get them to change this habit. No he just decided that I should have to clean up my own front of the house whenever he decides to grace me the generousness of not parking in front of my house. Isn't that the most thoughtful person ever! Watch, now he will park there in snow storms and I will have shovel 3 feet into the street to get my car out. :rolleyes: I think my husband will just have to park the 17 year old car in front of our driveway in snow storms. Sorry for the vent. It is just another thing I have to put on my flylady list. ETA He just moved his car to in front of another house. I can't help but think that he just didn't want do what I requested for some strange reason but knew that it would be the "neighborly" thing to do. I don't really care as long as the front of my house gets the street sweeper... not that they really work anyway. :rolleyes: Edited December 4, 2017 by 3 ladybugs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mama25angels Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 3ladybugs-I'm glad he moved the car so the street sweeper could clean the front of your house, I wouldn't want to do it either if I didn't have to. I think the person he comes to visit asked him to move it to keep the peace and to be a good neighbor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3 ladybugs Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 Love the expansion! Although it further decreases my ability to find excuses not to do the mission... <_< ;) Yeah sadly this is ditto for me too! Yesterday my husband was talking to his mother. She is the one that told me that the larger the house the easier it is to clean... I wonder if they think that in Buckingham Palace? Anyway, she is now in a larger place and was complaining to him how it wasn't easy to keep clean. Sorry but I have to laugh at that one! Anyway, DH said we do Flylady and it has made our life much simpler. I told him to tell her I will be talking all about it on the blog (I have blogged for 11 years) so she should look at that. Watch, next time they come out she will telling me all about this new way of cleaning that she found called Flylady! Getting closer on my list but hot spots are next. :scared: :scared: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
