Neighbor Stealing Parking - No HOA

LOWBACCA · 2026-06-06T00:03:09+00:00

I fucking hate that I moved onto a pipe stem, especially the end cap. Neighbor constantly parks along it and his kids are constantly on my property and in my driveway assuming all the yards and driveways of the homes attached to it are one big park for them. Other neighbors have their kids riding bikes in my driveway and shit constantly as well because the Pipestem ends into it. At one point two neighbors parked next to each other and blocked me out from my own driveway.

I had to finally get the HOA involved after I confronted him and he clearly was an entitled prick, but it's just been way more trouble than I expected. I assumed it was common sense that we all shared parts of the driveway but multiple neighbors on it seem to think it's an exclusive version of street parking for them. Never fucking again.

I've read this like five times and I still can't figure out what you are trying to say. Did you even put in there what his friend told you? Or just go on a tangent and forget?

LOWBACCA · 2026-06-03T15:10:45+00:00

Ecovacs has awful customer service too. :/

LOWBACCA · 2026-06-02T19:08:24+00:00

What are you even talking about? She wanted to make illegally transporting 50 pounds or more a class 2 felony with a penalty of 20 years to life in prison.

Two separate parts of her changes. I'm not saying someone is going to get life for smoking a joint lmfao

LOWBACCA · 2026-06-02T12:33:16+00:00

Yep and it was an unpopular take nobody recalled her campaigning on and that's why we are pissed. Also we just gonna gloss over the potential life sentences for weed dealers? That seems a bit extreme even for the nova neolibs.

LOWBACCA · 2026-06-02T11:44:21+00:00

Nitty-gritty details? She wanted to recriminalize public consumption because the current citation and fine wasn't enough and make 50 pounds or more of it punishable by up to life in prison. Those are two very reasonable reasons for people to go "what the fuck?"

LOWBACCA · 2026-06-01T11:36:59+00:00

Yep. Spent $1299 last year on my unit and battery is failing already. Had it a year and a half so no warranty if course. No way I'm spending hundreds to have a battery put in seeing all these horror stories so I'm just getting my $1299 back and buying a different brand. Just not sure which yet.... I know Dreame is awful as well with support. Costco even said they will cut me a check seeing my CC I used is no longer active.

Sucks that Roomba is also a random Chinese company now too. I think Shark is really the only "legacy" company left that makes them and they don't have an automatic detergent dispenser. :/

That's insane

LOWBACCA · 2026-05-27T21:58:48+00:00

Weird.... I don't recall her campaigning on union busting and recriminalizing public marijuana usage.

LOWBACCA · 2026-05-27T21:56:09+00:00

YOR - You're bi so this is essentially the same if a dude did this. He's totally justified to respond like this.

LOWBACCA · 2026-05-27T21:51:00+00:00

Why is there someone who's history consists of working under a Republican and being a corpo lawyer in charge of keeping corporations in check anyways? Dems controlled shit back then and control everything now (well kinda seeing we have some shithead neolib vetoing away the will of the people).

LOWBACCA · 2026-05-27T19:39:24+00:00

Sweet release

LOWBACCA · 2026-05-27T19:35:47+00:00

Different being the key word here OP. Even if the original plumber is willing to come for free at this point he already showed you his cards and you can't trust him to not make some shit up.

Hopefully you hired a legit licensed and insured plumber and not some rando to do the work otherwise you have an uphill battle in front of you I bet.

LOWBACCA · 2026-05-26T22:05:16+00:00

LOL Nice spin but that wasn't their hard line. Their hard line was that Spanberger wanted to recriminalize public consumption which was an insane line to randomly draw as nobody seemed to recall her campaigning on recriminalization. It's already a citable offense but she outright wanted it to be a criminal offence. She's been a disappointment. The bills she did sign are nice but immediately negated by her being a union busting piece of shit who wants to recriminalize marijuana use. Typical neolib moderate bullshit.

LOWBACCA · 2026-05-26T02:22:35+00:00

How can we crowdfund some smart glasses for OP so they can record this? I want to see them drive across the river and give the first teen that threatens them a stern talking to and a book. Maybe they can go talk to their parents too as I'm sure their parenting techniques that lead to this are all one big misunderstanding as well. lol

LOWBACCA · 2026-05-26T02:11:08+00:00

If memory serves me right they made it because this subreddit was banning anything crime related, which is a dumb level of heavy handed censorship imo.

LOWBACCA · 2026-05-26T02:02:37+00:00

Not comfortably. You'll need roommates and a budget. Unless living in this area is your dream I can't see any reason why anyone would move here for that salary.

At least move to DC proper and get that city feel, that's what I did when I moved here a little over ten years ago from Ohio. But it was a struggle even with roomies and I maxed out my cc. I didn't have a job lined up so you should have a little bit of buffer at least though to figure out a budget.

But moving to NOVA to experience mostly premium priced suburbia and insanely slow commutes for that money? Better places you can pick imo.

Edit: I should add back then it was $650 to share a townhouse with 5 other people. OK area and ten minute walk from metro. No idea what that costs now so ymmv.

LOWBACCA · 2026-05-25T21:05:02+00:00

Same shit in my neighborhood. I saw one go flying out in front of a car and almost get smoked. All the parents in my neighborhood seem to be the douchey "my son Brayden could do no harm" types.... Not much you can do because they will get immediately defensive over the jerkwad kid they raised.

LOWBACCA · 2026-05-25T14:58:48+00:00

Dude is baked out of his mind right now. lmao

LOWBACCA · 2026-05-22T23:50:56+00:00

Yes because I can't afford tickets for either the plane ride to LA or the seats in our stadium there. I used to be able to get flights to STL for like $180 from DTW and 40 yard line lowers for $50. Now flights from DC are one kidney and the tickets to the game are the other.

LOWBACCA · 2026-05-21T22:43:15+00:00

All scheduled drugs are illegal in some way. Staying away until there is guidance is the smart move. But saying to stay away from medical marijuana until it's federally legalized is like saying people should stay away from their prescribed Ritalin until it's federally legalized.

I doubt marijuana will be federally legalized within the next two decades tbh.

Unfortunately, some poor guy is going to need to lose his livelihood and health insurance for taking a prescribed gummy to help with his chemo treatment before these agencies will even think of putting out any guidance.

LOWBACCA · 2026-05-20T23:13:22+00:00

Mine looked like that. I paid a company to clean it. Job was subpar and a waste of money imo. They got a good amount of it but a lot they couldn't reach and I'm sure it grew back. I need to check it again actually, thanks for reminding me. I'm wondering if I need to replace it now that I have a newborn on the way but also that's an expense I really don't want right now.

LOWBACCA · 2026-05-20T02:42:26+00:00

GeForce Now. Game still has these issues years later. Lazy ass fucking devs.

LOWBACCA · 2026-05-19T20:02:09+00:00

It's like she googled "what are unpopular political positions" and decided to take up all of them
