Are you passive or not? Would this bug you? - Page 2

If the neighbor's junk car is truly junky and they don't drive it very often remove the tags then report it as an abandoned car.

That would bother me a lot. I sympathize & don't understand why people can't be more considerate. Maybe you should consider parking in front of your neighbors mailbox? Maybe then they'll get the hint? Probably your hubby's easy going approach is best in the long run. There was a similar ongoing dispute in a town near me. It was very much like what you described- parking issues, littering, etc... After years of battling back & forth it ended tragically in a murder/suicide. Be careful.

My husband is a very nice social person. He treats people really well. Having said that he is not a door mat and doesn't let people walk all over him. He would have said something about this. I don't want an overly aggressive man who starts fights over nothing but I don't want a man who can't speak his mind and speak up when he feels he is being taken advantage of. There is a happy medium. I would feel a little bothered if my husband didn't speak up in this situation but I do realize everyone is different. We are friends with the couple where the husband is super easy going like this and it works for them because the wife is the one who speaks up in these matters.

Your hubby is just like mine. He doesn't like to rock the boat, but he will if he has to!!

Shorty, I would have to seriously consider moving, if they don't fix things if you address it. When I come home, I don't want stress. There are enough stressors in the world -- you don't need them in the form of invasive, rude, thoughtless, nasty neighbors!!

I think she's serious because this actually works.

Only one car fits in our driveways here. We all have 1 car garages but rarely use them b/c they are small and we scraped our new car putting it in the garage. (we have 2 cars)

Their car had a red sticker once because someone reported it. (It wasn't us don't know who did it). Maybe they thought it was us and this is why they do this?

I did speak to the neighbors about the cig butts. It continued, and I had to call cops, it stopped for awhile now continued. (Same w fireworks).

I say we should put our car there and they will get the message. He says who cares let it go. I wouldn't call him a door mat. A door mat is someone who lets people use them. No one uses him. The people here are just plain rude. I would say he is passive in that he doesn't let anything bother him or like confrontation. (and he has low blood pressure and I don't so maybe hes right).

Cant move, he is the only one working. He built this home. Homes now days are triple our mortgage or believe me we would move (due to the neighbors and my back -Id like a one floor home!)

Anyway I just wanted to know if anyone would let this bother them or do you let things go? Because maybe my husbands right and I DO get too worked up over things.

Thanks for your input, I appreciate it. I guess I should be glad my husband is calm. My first husband was the exact opposite as in a loud mouth bossy person. The 2nd time around I didn't want someone like that.

OK thanks. It sounds to me like vandalism and making a false police report, that's why I asked. I guess I am missing something.

If your city has a Code Enforcement Officer, I would call and see what they think. They'll come out and take a look and if necessary put a note on the car and tell them to move it in x number of days or it will be towed. The neighbors don't have to know who called plus Code Enforcement is pretty discreet; they're not going to tell them who phoned.

I've watched too many 48 Hours and Dateline real life episodes. And then, there are all of the 'fiction' shows which in reality have occurred in real life. I wouldn't say/do anything. Maybe nicely mention it when everyone is out front in a good mood? But, knowing myself, I wouldn't.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

You're welcome. I've read a lot of cases where people who've stored cars on their property for friends or family, and asked them repeatedly to come and remove their property. After months or years and no removal, they either drive it or have it taken to a public road without tags and then call the police.
