An open can of tuna, carefully placed, is ALWAYS a good time ;)

Although, I understand your frustration etc. but I would be careful about writing down things you could do next time, especially things that could damage property .. what if something bad really did happen to these people or their car? These sort of comments could come back to haunt you. Not everyone would see this thread in jest it is meant to be..

I would stick to calling the tow truck, or even making an effort to talk to your neighbor and see if you could smooth out the feathers.

Just my little FYI :D

what happens when you go over to the house to tell them to move and not park there again?

Don't fill up the car with spray foam. Thats way too expensive. Just spray it into the seam of the doors. That stuff is really sticky LOL

They ignore you and pretend they aren't home. However the telltale sign is when the curtains move and you can hear the TV being put on mute.

Well the second car was back again this morning, but on the other side of the alley right across from the garage. I think the first one is still impounded!

Also, wait until the dead of winter. THEN wait until they're parked in their own space and squirt water into their locks. Mwa mwa mwaaaa....

That's a great idea, and most likely they won't think you did it.

always fun to put peanut butter or honey. under the door opening latch/handle. then they have sticky hands for the rest of the day. :twised:

wow drew, you are one malicious sucker aren't you? i like it!

I have to say catherine, your patience baffles me. I would have already done about half the things drew suggested by now. so kudos to you.

LOL! You have no idea! Lucky no one here knew me when I was a teenager ;)

I live down town and have to deal with people blocking half my condo's drive way almost every day. It bugs me but, for down town we have very few problems. When I lived in Mount Royal my old roomate had an on going battle with the condo building next door. They would fill our dumpster instead of using theirs.

Many morning I would awake to the sounds of him chewing the neighbours out. One morning he got so mad he pulled the garbage back out ripped the bag open and dumped the garbage all over their entrance.

Anyways don't park in peoples driveways...

Peanut butter makes things interesting, but Vaseline takes it to a whole new level...messy and Very diffacult to remove...

Door handles, windshield wipers...
Keep in mind...The wipers may be a "bad" idea, as they may turn them on, and it may obscure their view, and may cause them to die in a fiery accident...

Inside voice: "Would that be justice or just mean spirited"..you be the judge.

ya but i was trying to leave it without doing any perminant damage. but if you want you could just spread (beleive it or not) MAYO on the panit and if its in sunlight it will just destroy the paint job. a friend of a friend did this as a harmless joke to find out mayo + UV rays = F#cked paint. good thing it was another friends POS car.

Well guess what I got to do tonight when I got home?! Thats right, I called Calgary Parking Authority again. Although I asked for them just to ticket them instead of going for a tow. I'm tired of fighting with these people, I just wish I could pull in, and out of my garage without having to make 40 3pt turns, and spending 10 minutes doing it. As funny as it is to pull an Austin Powers move a few times a day, I just wish they would stop doing this!

The original car that was towed is out of impound and taking up half their back alley drive way.

Want me to confront them for you? I'm told I can be really scary :)

The nerve of some people!!!!!! :evil:

Go for it!

Are you able to put something in your space, like a garbage can, when you leave so that they are unable to park in that spot? I know it would mean you have to to extra work to keep them out of your space, but they may get the hint, and stop. They may also just move the item, but that would take extra work on there part. It may save you the headache of dealing with their ignorance.
I would caution against doing something in retaliation. The people you are dealing with are already showing you no respect, so if you do something to them, would it be much of a stretch for them to vandalize your property next? I know that I would be ****ed off and want to do something as well, but I would think that they would just escalate to something worse.

Sadly no I can't put anything there.

This is kind of how it works

Last night;

The extra sad part is this is a middle age couple who is doing this! I'll just keep calling parking services, I made the effort and now look what happens

I vote their special car needs to get stolen! :twised:

So have you ever actually spoken with them? I was serious about my offer to talk to them for you...lol. I love doing stuff like that :)

I'll relocate the car for you. :smile:

Truck + Tow Rope = Bye Bye. :mrgreen:

They sure as hell won't be getting it back, cuz I won't take it to the impound.

Catherine,
Contrary to my previous post on Halloween ...intended to be in jest...one option is to go to the local Calgary Police Service District office and speak to the Community Liaison Officer for your area. They may be able to mediate this thing out without the difficulties relating to angst/anger/retaliation..
Will PM you.

Well the nice thing is that this morning there was no car or cars behind my garage. I appreciated not having to do multiple 3-point turns! I'm apprehensive about how long this will last, so I'm going to enjoy it for what it is! The amusing thing is that this saved me 5 minutes off my usual morning commute!

You just recently moved here right? If you didn't this post won't make any difference but if you did...
When we moved into a our "house" (that was 10yo), the neighbours dogs barked at everything. Windows and doors opening, you get the idea. Since we had dogs (basenjis - they dont bark :biggrin:). This was a real problem.
When we talk to them after several weeks of just wanting to kill em. The owner went off on us telling us about how long he lived there (10years) and what @$$holes all the renters of that house had been blah blah blah, when we explained that we actually owned the place he became much more reasonable.
His dogs still bark, but he actually tells them to stop now. So part of your problem may be that the "bad car owners" are taking out previous frustrations on you... Of course I could be totally off base :lol:.

Time for some positive reinforcement then, what applies with dog training works with humans too :razz:. Go over after you get home and thank them saying how much you appreciate them not parking their car there

Ya, that will actually work. Just for good measure, take a clicker :)

Don't forget some (dog) treats! :lol:

I vote for the rolled up newspaper.

"No" / "NO" / "BAD Neighbors"

lmao.

Clicker or Taser?

Anthony, we want POSITIVE reinforcement! :) Barring that, taser works for me!

guess I'll just keep quiet on this one then. :twised:

But before you attack, force him to scream, "Don't tase me, bro!"....and be sure to catch it on tape.
