So, am I being ridiculous?

I got all of you beat. I took this photo a couple of years ago outside Academy.

Plenty of other spots in the lot? Check.
Takes up 4 handicapped spots? Check.
Kayak? Check.
Multiple 4 wheelers? Check.
Unattended minor in front seat? Check.

Someone should have blocked him in front and rear!

I live across the street from an elementary school and you wouldn't believe how often people park IN my driveway when the rest of the street is double parked. I used to chain and lock their wheel or bumper to one of my big oak trees. That resulted in some pretty heated arguments which ultimately involved the police... That's when I started researching towing laws. Now I just call my buddy who owns a tow truck company and lives in my neighborhood. His guys are always in the area and it never takes more than 5 minutes for them to get to my house. The best part is that I have zero responsibility to inform the owner that I had it towed.

In fact, that's how the tow truck guy and I became buddies.

I love open house, field days, and rainy days.

There was a car parked in my driveway the day I moved into my house. The moving trucks had to park on the street and carry things the long way around. The stickers on the car identified it as a rental from a place ~50 miles away, across town. I called them and they considered the car "missing" because it was two days past the return date and they hadn't heard from the renter.

They sent a couple of guys to pick it up. It took them hours to get here. As they're about to leave, a guy comes sauntering down the block. He was the renter and he just didn't think it was important to let the rental agency know he decided to keep it a couple of extra days. On top of that, he seemed completely oblivious to the notion that parking in someone else's driveway was a problem.

After making sure he was not one of my new neighbors, just a visiting relative, I calmly informed him that he had cost me extra time to move in, the workers extra time, and had killed pretty much the full day of productivity of the two guys who had come to retrieve the car. He simply didn't care.

However, when those guys drove off in the car while he was screaming that he'd be left without transportation, I think it finally dawned on him that maybe he'd screwed up.

Can't be sure.

It boggled my mind that these people thought it was ok. One lady even said, "i only parked on one side."

I took this pic in Atlanta a few years ago. If the parking didn't clue you in that this guy was a douche, the stickers on the back will.

Handicap plates. Probably due to liberalness. It's synonymous with douchyness.

Two guys and a floor jack can move most cars. We've done it multiple times at drag racing events when spectators take our pit spot for the race car. We generally left their cars in the middle of the main isle. They would make a lot of noise but never confronted us.

 

[Savage20]

I've moved many a car with a floor jack. But when they're in my driveway I am not putting in the effort. I opt for my strap or chain and 4x4.

Drag them down the street and leave it in the intersection. Phone call to the police about an abandoned vehicle near a school gets a quick response.

 

[BIGPAPIGREG]

and no one saw you leave it there?

 

[Savage20]

Well, the cops never came knocking on my door. I'm sure somebody saw or heard me, as there was a whole lot of tire squealing as I dragged that car down the street. If they noticed, they sure didn't care lol.

Absolutely loved this part!
