If his car is outside your house when it arrives, put the skip outside his house, if not, job done :p

I'd just start parking my own car there for a couple of weeks. Maybe it doesn't seem like even a slight problem to him, in fact, he probably does it out of laziness and habit by now. Just force him to kick the habit by having your car in the way! When you go back to using your own drive, if he still carries on parking there, just ask him at that point. If you do it the other way around, it'll seem like you're being a dick on purpose.

With anything like this, you have to be smart. Small problems with neighbours can seriously blow up and the worst thing you want to happen is make the situation any worse and have a mutual tension between each other, or even worse, a fully blown up feud.

Park your car on his drive, if he complains, point to his car outside your house

My neighbor, who I've never said 1 word to keeps parking his car (car 1) in front of my house.

Has anyone had any experience with issues like this? I don't want bad blood with my neighbors, but this is just wrong in my opinion.

Some good advice on here -- let us know how it all turns out. :laugh:

This thread should only have been made once you asked him nicely and he decided to be a d*ck about it

If you haven't even asked him, then chances are he is not a d*ck and thinks you don't mind / hasn't even thought about it

Well at least anyone who just said to introduce yourself and ask him if he wouldn't mind parking elsewhere has some sense. I would be embarrassed to make such a post if I hadn't even talked to the man beforehand.

The truth is you can't do much about it unless you act. I hope you come across better to him that you did in the original post.

I used the comments I did about the guy because this guy should have never put me in the position that requires me to have to say something to him to begin with. I don't know where you live, but it's always been common courtesy not to park in front of other peoples houses. The thing that irritates me is that he has all kinds of room but now I'm the bad guy if I say something. If he would have never parked there to begin with then we could have just gone along with our lives without any animosity.

I was merely asking the best way to tell the guy. Someone made a great post that I should just say could you please not park your car there because the other day it interfered with some work I was having done. I'm not a confrontational person and I just hate being put in this spot.

I don't know where you live, but around here, you at least have spoken to your neighbors once.

I'm a pretty quite guy. Keep to myself mostly. If they wave I'll wave back. As I said, for the most part I keep to myself.

So you're so shy you havent even introduced yourself? Thats a shame, dude.
It isn't fair to the guy to talk **** about him and call him an ***hole when you don't even have the balls to go over and say 'Hey, I'm Notta'.
In your little world, whats the difference between the 'dick' and the 'cool' neighbor? That the cool one doesn't park in front of your house? Crazy.
If you're not using the spot, why does it really matter who parks there? You know an advantage of that right? If you have a car parked in front of your house, no one is going to break in because they think someone is home.

If you were taking down a tree, or want to go mow the lawn, then that would be a good time to know his name and go over and say 'hey, can you move your car, I'm trying to mow the lawn and I can't get the edge.' Its really not tough.

its simple...you ask him not to park there and when he refuses you file a complaint with the city or town and in that complaint your clearly state that if he continues to park there you will not be held liable for any damage should a rock come from your lawn mower :D. Basically you are going to have to take him to court to stop this, but I would complain to the city or town and start protecting yourself
