Anyone Want To Rant? About Anything? I Do.

With the car parking issues beuocrats can be your best friend you just need to think inside their boxes.

For example is the car blocking a footpath or predestrian walk way? If so Council is the one to get hold of, just make sure you have a clearly posted legal sign stating private property no parking.

If they are blocking access to your house and emergancies services such as fire brigades/ ambulances etc can not gain ready access or it restricts your ability to escape your home in the case of an emergancy then I think it could fall under the police banner, if not once again Local Laws (council) should be able to help you get the car moved once and for all.
Is it a safty hazard in its own right? Maybe the car has some defects the police might be interested in.

All of that said it's probably not best to do what I did to a co-worker who kept parking in my spot and thought it was a great laugh ( I could have had the same guy up on sexual harrassement issues as well but that is a different matter but does explain my threat to him). I ended up telling him point blank he would only park in my spot again if he wanted 4 new tyres . Outcome one car that was never parked in my possie again.

Do you have gates on your drive? If not, I think that would be the first step. Also, try to figure out why they might be parking there (ie, are there any local businesses, shops, schools that they want access to?). Have you got proof that someone's parking there like pictures taken by a neighbour or cctv? Cones being moved and notes being screwed up could be teenagers walking past for example, they show nothing but that they've been moved/screwed up. Tyre tracks show that someone's been on your property, photos or cctv of someone leaving a car at your property would be better. There's also the possibility that it's one of your neighbours doing it so I'd ask several of them to keep an eye out while you're out of the house. Finally you need to be sure it is someone actually parking, rather than just using your driveway to turn around in. How often is it happening do you think?

When I'd just moved into my own place after moving out of my mum and dads and so had nothing, bought scissors and needed scissors to get into them...

Had to go ask my neighbour for scissors so I could get into mine to open packages and build the preverbal mountain of IKEA furniture that I had

3G on phones are so slow. The lag between pages or watching YouTube starts to annoy quickly.

Come on 10G.

This fool who thought he could dodge the train fare story is doing my head in. His mother is now sticking up for him. What a complete fool. He should have been held on the train, taken to the next stop, been prosecuted for having no ticket or as now they're saying he did have a ticket but was just being an idiot. The truth should have been found out by police anyway, then to have him charged with being drunk in a public place. His mother needs to wise up, he was being foolish and drunk, never mind sticking up for him, punish the wee #105###e.

Next rant,
We have less than an inch of snow, the town is gridlocked. What's the deal with that? Its not bad, move out of my way. Why drive in the snow if you cannot drive in the snow? Stay at home, put your feet up, watch countdown.

Next rant,
Don't tell me where to smoke, if I'm outside I'm not bothering anyone. I was at least 20ft away from this shop, the owner then thinks he can tell me not to smoke outside his shop. Idiot! I think the law states 16ft away from entrances to shops etc. Told him what he could go and do, then took my girlfriend out of his hole of a shop and we went into his competition.

Next rant,
Clean up after your dogs. Had to tell someone else what I thought of them after they told me they weren't picking it up.

Next rant,
Christmas shopping. I'm never going again. Santa is dead.

Bad manners, usually I try & ignore it, but with Christmas coming, everywhere is so busy.
People barge into you, & don't say sorry, road manners are non existent, I've almost been hit twice, by people shooting out of junctions & that's just this week!

 

[Devilish Angelfish]

I have a little mini rant, not really a rant but here goes - When people come on this forum, ask one question, it gets loads of answers but the op never replies and they never go back on the forum again

Another one - Some bloody #105### head keeps parking in my drive way

I dont know who the heck they are but they keep doing it, coming and going.
Ive put cones, but they only throw them out the way.
Ive never seen them as they only do it when im out.
Ive left notes, find them scrunched up on the floor.
DRIVING ME CRAZY, NEXT STEP IS TO CLAMP THEIR CAR MYSELF.

Seriously, what should I do?

Box of thumb tacks. Ooops. Spilt them all over my driveway. Oh well.

 

[Cazgar]

I hate the disappearing poster too, least they could do was say thank you.
As for the Parker, have a word with your local traffic warden, they are human, let them know what time the parker does it & they'll be only too pleased to give him a ticket

My rant for the day....I have a perfectly good letter box, but do you think the people who drop off sale catalouges can bother using it? No they have to jam forests of paper into the bars of my fence making it nigh on impossible to pull these catalougues out if they get damp or drenched in rain. I am sick to death of it, and the worst thing is I know they are just sub-contractors so its pointless complaining to the companies putting out the catalogues and I am never at home when they do their drops to have a word with the guilty person.
Since my front fence is metal I guess it would be fighting dirty if I rigged up an electric fence to zap em next time round .

Here we go

Dear neighbor,
have you noticed that we live in townhouses? That means that our houses are conected. I sleep next to the wall where our houses conect. This means I hear everything you do or say. The walls are really thin. Nobody wants to hear you blasting Iranian Disco on maximum volume at midnight while you laugh and yell at your iranian party goers. Also, I don't want to hear you watching CNN at 3 in the morning....on full volume...
Thanks


Also, gamers

Know the feeling my sisters exhusband used to live in a flat which might as well of had rice paper walls, it used to become a competition to see who would get to listen to the different shows being watched in the two different flats. It was a vicious cycle of we'd turn up our TV they would turn up theirs. They also had numerous parties with their druggie friends and finally we got ultimate pay back. We where leaving really early (around 3-4am) to go over to the coast to do a day of fishing and the neighbours had kept us up most of the night partying. Well we set up the stereo with the speakers millimeters off the wall and put Youthu Yindi on Repeat at full blast just as we left for the day. If you know the song Treaty you know how maddening this song can be on a constant loop. It took the neighours until 10 am to work out how to shut the music off, but they learnt a valuable lesson in consideration.

Mine for the day:

My college refuses to grit the drive into school for fear of becoming liable to suing should someone hurt themselves on ice, I was walking home and went #14### over tit, both of my knees and one of my wrists are agony, all swollen and bruised because some selfish #17##### hole couldn't be bothered to grit the drive because of some stupid health and safety regulation.

 

[Baccus]

Go to your doctor tell them what happened and get photograpic evidence of the injuries then tell the college that your taking them through for damages that where preventable. I bet they start putting down the grit ASAP.
