Hey guys, I wanted to see what your thoughts are on this issue. I whipped this together so you can see what I'm saying.

My neighbor, who I've never said 1 word to keeps parking his car (car 1) in front of my house. I know this might not seem like a big deal, but this really does irritate me. I know no one owns the street, but wherever I've lived it's always been common courtesy that you don't park in front of another persons house.

The funny thing is the ******* has plenty of room, but yet he still continues to park in front of my house. He has a double car driveway and with 1 car in it (car 2) that never moves. Car 2 is his truck he uses for fishing and it rarely ever moves from that spot. He leaves the other lane open so his fancy car in the garage can be backed out without moving any cars. He parks his work truck (car 3) on the other end of his property so he doesn't block his mailbox. He can fit 2 or 3 cars in that stretch where (car 3) and his mailbox are located. It's a pain in the ass when I cut my grass and I want to edge my lawn along the street his car (car 1) is there blocking me. Yesterday my nephew came to pull a dead tree out of my front yard and again his (car 1) made it more difficult then it should have been.

I want to say something to the guy, but he could easily say "you don't own the street" or "you're single. is it killing you if I park in front of your house?" I was thinking about starting to park my car on the street where his car is to throw a hint at the *******. See I look like the bad guy here because he has no common courtesy for his neighbors. Why doesn't he just park his car behind car 2? It's always empty.

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.

and why don't he just park behind car 2 if is never moved?

That's the question I've been asking myself. It's always available.

How do you go about asking him to park in front of his own ****ing house? I just want him to park in front of his own house, not to have bad blood between us.

You could just ask...

You've launched into swearing and name calling on an internet forum, without ever even asking him. Heck, you could say "It was tricky getting that tree out and we don't wanna damage your car" and him appreciate it.

Sheesh!

We have a similar problem here except its a private road way, Woman (who we never talk to except for parking issues who is not even a neighbor) insists on parking where it makes it difficult for us to park. She has 2 garages and 1 car, she parks outside 1 of the garages even though there is plenty of unused space further down in front of the other garage. When asked to move further down says its her garage so she can park outside it. Then when we don't park exactly in the right place shes round complaining she cant get in and out, even though there is plenty of room. Shes just a complete d*ck for no apparent reason :/

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.

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.

    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.

    • Subtitle Edit 5.0.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Subtitle Edit 5.0.0 by Razvan Serea Subtitle Edit is a powerful, free, and user-friendly subtitle editing tool designed for creating, editing, and converting subtitles for videos. It supports a wide range of subtitle formats, including SRT, ****, and SUB, allowing users to easily modify and adjust subtitles for accurate timing and formatting. With its intuitive interface, Subtitle Edit provides a variety of features such as waveform audio display, spell-check, subtitle synchronization, and real-time video preview, making it an ideal choice for both beginners and professionals. The software also includes powerful tools for batch processing, translating subtitles, and converting between different subtitle formats. Subtitle Edit features: Create/adjust/sync/translate subtitle lines Convert between SubRib, MicroDVD, Advanced Sub Station Alpha, Sub Station Alpha, D-Cinema, SAMI, youtube sbv, and many more (300+ different formats!) Cool audio visualizer control - can display wave form and/or spectrogram Video player uses mpv, DirectShow, or VLC media player Visually sync/adjust a subtitle (start/end position and speed) Audio to text (speech recognition) via Whisper or Vosk/Kaldi Auto Translation via Google translate Rip subtitles from a (decrypted) dvd Import and OCR VobSub sub/idx binary subtitles Import and OCR Blu-ray .sup files - bd sup reading is based on Java code from BDSup2Sub Can open subtitles embedded inside Matroska files Can open subtitles (text, closed captions, VobSub) embedded inside mp4/mv4 files Can open/OCR XSub subtitles embedded inside divx/avi files Can open/OCR DVB and teletext subtitles embedded inside .ts/.m2ts (Transport Stream) files Can open/OCR Blu-ray subtitles embedded inside .m2ts (Transport Stream) files Merge/split subtitles Adjust display time Fix common errors wizard....and more. Subtitle Edit 5.0.0 changelog: Subtitle Edit 5 is a major new release and a big step for the project. For the first time, Subtitle Edit runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single, modern, cross-platform codebase. The builds are self-contained, so no separate .NET installation is required, and on macOS and Linux the needed media components (mpv/ffmpeg) are bundled in. Please read before upgrading: Subtitle Edit 5 is a new application, not just an update of Subtitle Edit 4. It has been rebuilt from the ground up to be cross-platform, so: It is not 100% the same app. The look, layout, and some workflows have changed. Some things are in different places, and a few behave differently than in SE4. Not every SE4 feature exists in SE5 yet. SE5 covers all the core editing, conversion, sync, video playback, OCR, and online services, but some of the more specialized SE4 tools are not available yet. Features will continue to be added. If you rely on a specific SE4 feature that is missing, please keep SE4 installed alongside SE5. The easiest way to run both side by side is to use the Portable versions of SE4 and SE5, which keep their settings separate and do not interfere with each other. Which version should I use? Subtitle Edit 5: recommended for most users on Windows 10 (22H2) or newer, macOS 12+, and Linux. Subtitle Edit 4: please continue to use SE4 if you are on an older Windows version (Windows 7/8), or on older / slower computers where SE5 may not run well. SE4 remains available and is the right choice in those cases. To run SE4 and SE5 at the same time, use the Portable versions - you can try SE5 while keeping SE4 as a fallback.

    • Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect by Hamid Ganji Google Pixel 10 series In recent years, Google has successfully turned its Pixel devices into worthy contenders in the smartphone market. The search giant is now preparing to launch the Pixel 11 series in just a few months, and many Pixel fans are likely wondering what Google has in store for them this year. The next lineup of Google smartphones includes four devices: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. This year, we don’t expect Google to bring revolutionary upgrades to its handsets, and the Pixel 11 series is likely to receive modest hardware improvements alongside a slew of AI-powered features. Here are the rumored specifications of the Google Pixel 11 series ahead of its official debut: When will the new Pixel phones be unveiled? The last two generations of Google Pixel phones (Pixel 9 series and Pixel 10 series) were launched in August, unlike the previous three generations that debuted in October. With that in mind, we expect Google to unveil the Pixel 11 series sometime in August 2026. The exact launch date has yet to be confirmed. Google Pixel 11 CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines How much will the Pixel 11 series cost? Predicting the final price of upcoming smartphones has become increasingly difficult. As you may know, RAM and memory prices are rising sharply, leading to significant increases in the cost of consumer electronics. Recently, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that price increases for some future Apple products are unavoidable, suggesting that the iPhone 18 series could become more expensive. Google has remained tight-lipped about any potential price increases for the Pixel 11 series. If the company manages to maintain last year’s pricing structure, here’s what the lineup could cost: Pixel 11: $799 Pixel 11 Pro: $999 Pixel 11 Pro XL: $1,199 Pixel 11 Pro Fold: $1,799 Given current market conditions, it may be difficult for Google to avoid raising prices unless it adopts cost-saving measures, such as equipping the base model with 8GB of RAM. Google Pixel 11 series anticipated specs: We expect the Google Pixel 11 series to debut with a new Tensor G6 processor as well as an upgraded camera system. The overall design, however, is expected to remain largely unchanged across the lineup. Specifications Pixel 11 Pixel 11 Pro Pixel 11 Pro XL Pixel 11 Pro Fold Display 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED / 120Hz refresh rate / up to 3100 nits of brightness 6.3-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 6.8-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 8-inch inner screen and 6.4-inch outer display, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness RAM & Processor Tensor G6 / 8-12GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 16GB of RAM Storage options 128GB or 256GB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB Camera 50MP main sensor, 13MP ultra-wide, 10.8MP 5x telephoto, 10.5MP front camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 10.5MP ultra-wide camera, 10.8MP telephoto camera, 10MP front camera, 10MP inner camera Battery 4,840 mAh 4,707 mAh 5,000 mAh 4,658 mAh Software Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 The Pixel 11 series won’t be a major departure from its predecessor, with Google instead focusing on subtle improvements and AI additions such as Gemini Intelligence. However, a patent filed by Google suggests the company is working on a removable battery for its smartphones, and we could see this feature make its way to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Given that nearly all smartphones today lack removable batteries, such a feature would be a welcome addition to future Pixel devices. That said, it may not arrive with this year’s lineup after all, and the final decision is yet to be made by Google. The Pixel 11 series could also face an uphill battle in the market. In the Android segment, Samsung is performing well with the Galaxy S26 series, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup is also expected to launch next month. On the other hand, Apple is preparing to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September alongside its first foldable iPhone.
