Jackass
A guest of the neighbors decide to park in my freshly shoveled driveway (don't know long he was there, caught a glimpse when I went to the kitchen for a beverage), how convenient, the neighbors (a-holes) never shovel, on his way out he decided to pull forward, don't know why, guess he didn't know about the 1 - 1.5 foot drop off. He had the nerve to ask me to help push him out (while he's spinning the tires and putting bigger ruts in my lawn and possibly damaging the concrete). He was also suggesting maybe using some of the lumber in my garage or asking if I had some tow straps, I pointed him to a shop down the street with a tow truck.
![]() Before calling me the a-hole, here's is a small sampling, this is how they keep their trash, there's a couple of bags under the snow right now.

Re: Jackass
Hehehe...dumb ass...serves him right.
Unfortunately, probably do more damage to your driveway when they pull that back out. Make 'em tow it towards the right side there. |

Re: Jackass
I say he got what he deserved. When he asked for help, you shhould have just handed him a phone book.

Re: Jackass
I'm sure you got his plate number so you can track him down and bill him for the damages. I'd charge him for shovelling the driveway and parking fees, too.

Re: Jackass
Yeah, help him out with your lumber and tow straps. Then fix your own driveway after the thaw and you can actually see the damage.
Chrissakes, did HE want a beverage as well? Damn if I wouldn't have lowered his tire pressure with a scratch awl when he wasn't looking, just to keep his day interesting. |

Re: Jackass
Correct, the guy pushed it across the street (not a whole lot of places here to put snow, lots of variances given to the builder when these were built), I don't know if he didn't realize that there was no room for it (sidewalks real close to street). The plow guy's tailgate broke, it's so damn cold out everything is frozen solid and breaking easy, he was pissed.

Sending that many cop cars I mean. They would have sent only one car and the cop would have asked for cash before he did anything.... ![]() ![]()

He will probably sue anyhow because there were no signs there to warn of drop off.
