The recent widow across the street has had a parade of guests for around 5 months. The latest crew is from Colorado and they park in front of my house instead of hers. She does have plenty of driveway room, but I guess since there are now 4 additional cars to that address, it's too much to move them around for coming and going. so they just park over here. Most of the time there is parking in front of her house.

Now I have 4 cars and a 2 car garage. Yet none of my cars sit overnight on the street. It's inviting to take up that vacant space, I'm sure. Way back, I painted a marker to show various dimwits that there are actually 2 spots in front if one parks with courtesy.

We do have guests from time to time (believe it or not given what I say here) and they often have to walk a house or 2 in order to reach our door. Many times they have items that need to be carried such as strollers or other bags.

How do I handle this? I mean overtly. Covertly I've done quite a few things, but the message seems to go unnoticed. BTW, the protocol here in the old days was not to park in the street overnight at any time. Not even in front or your own residence.

Those days are obviously gone.

Oh, I should mention that when people park behind in the alley, I let the air out of all of their tires. Then I use a jack to swing my car around and out. The police are useless in LB when it comes to trivia. They have their hands full night and day.
