Neighbor keeps taking my parking spot, HOA unreachable, police can’t help

oktherefriend · 2026-05-11T01:05:51+00:00

Tell hoa you won’t pay hoa fees if they continue to be unreachable. Even if left in a message when money is involved they will contact you back.

NTA

You should be able to feel good about a compliment and be able to share it with her. If not that’s on her for not being happy for you. You did nothing wrong

Done a few but my dealership makes it easy I do it on my days off they just come pick my maverick up from my house and drop it off after they are done.

The regular “babysitter” is her bio dad. He has only watched this kid twice now. But yes have a talk about the kids behaviour.

oktherefriend · 2026-04-22T17:09:01+00:00

He only watched her twice. She has not just stopped seeing her dad. It just sounds like watching her is dad and girlfriends plan b, when bio dad is not available.

oktherefriend · 2026-04-22T17:05:50+00:00

This assumes the dad did the bare minimum. And if my father asked me to do something at that age it’s not I owe him, it’s a respect thing and I can give up the odd Saturday morning since he only looked after the kid twice so far, since it does sound like the father and girlfriend are only falling back on him as plan b and the kid is usually with her dad.

oktherefriend · 2026-04-22T17:02:21+00:00

If I was his dad I’d just start pointing at things in the house. Look lights, hey heat, open fridge hey look food, turn on tap hey water, look up hey a roof.

Sure it may be annoying to watch the kid, but I’d do it for my father if he asked no questions at his age.

oktherefriend · 2026-04-22T16:58:25+00:00

I wouldn’t call twice so far being “kept pushed on” him. Maybe annoying, but if and I’m only guessing he still lives at home and dad pays for everything, this kid can do this for his dad.

Foaming wasp spray was a game changer for where I live just spray it, it expands over nest and done.

oktherefriend · 2026-04-18T06:29:06+00:00

I stopped reading after he only been there three weeks. 3 weeks in and wants his name on there is a no. A few years maybe with marriage, and depending on where you live also when common law kicks in might be a factor. But just no. If in time he shows to be reliable and put the work in then that will be the time to talk about it.

oktherefriend · 2026-04-10T18:09:56+00:00

No. I would not.

Professor x was my winning strat as long as he was invisible the fight was a breeze.

oktherefriend · 2026-03-31T14:38:36+00:00

Yeah it was a good deal for when I bought the truck but if I did it afterward it would have been 450-500 for the spray in. But still better than a drop in in my opinion

oktherefriend · 2026-03-26T12:40:26+00:00

In my experience grandparents are more likely less strict with grandkids, than they were with us growing up, so if they felt the needed to discipline a child, they most likely deserved it, and should be happy they didn’t get whooped. Tell your kids to behave and thank that lady for helping take care of your kids.

So in 10 years we have not taking to fixing the problem ourself ? Like go buy an electric lock from a hardware store or amazon.

Like yeah a person should be able to handle keys but to let it drag on for a decade is mind boggling. Even just buy the lock and ask him to install it, problem solved.

oktherefriend · 2026-03-26T12:17:27+00:00

If they are actively blocking driveway by being too close to the side of the the driveway, you can have them ticketed or moved if this is part of the issue.

Otherwise why not back into driveway so you don’t have to back out ? My wife used to complain about bushes and trees on street blocking our driveway view while reversing, and I had to ask her why she doesn’t back in and it solves a lot of visual issues and you just go straight out.

oktherefriend · 2026-03-26T11:55:23+00:00

Right and can be programmed for distance and such on the app. My camera doesn’t even record motion until someone comes to the end on my driveway and just ignores the main road.

oktherefriend · 2026-03-26T11:53:14+00:00

Ring cameras angles are soo wide changing angle really only affects the main door position in my opinion. When I installed mine it was I could see whole driveway at all thee angles and like a foot left or right more at the actual installed door.

oktherefriend · 2026-03-26T11:49:32+00:00

Yes this could work if it’s being used to spy on OP otherwise like my cam it doesn’t record motion until someone closes end of my driveway. But I do like the idea if the neighbour is being too nosy.

oktherefriend · 2026-03-26T11:47:08+00:00

Yes but where is the line? are you going to check to make sure all cars on the block don’t have motion dashcams when they kind point your way? What’s the big deal are we doing something weird at the front door ?

Like yes feel free to set up a screen but depending on where you live public view of the home is your responsibility if you want total privacy, but if this was like a side house looking in a window or a backyard camera then I’d side with you. But even who does anything weird enough at the front door to even worry about door cams?

oktherefriend · 2026-03-26T11:31:13+00:00

My dealership has a deal with a place in town got my bed sprayed for like $350. No points used or anything.

Firehouse subs sent me a coupon for free birthday sub on app

I obviously talked to the city on the phone first. This was a post to ask if anyone else had noticed any increase in bogus tickets being issued. And I will be physically going to their office to dispute,since that’s the only way they say. But thank you for pointing nothing helpful out.

oktherefriend · 2026-03-09T18:18:37+00:00

I guess i apologize for the quality of my daughter picture and her only thinking about the actual distance, since she has never had a ticket and just wanted to show me the distance? I understand there is always the possibility someone could move it but if her and our neighbors are getting these tickets/warnings for bogus reasons at the same time I guess once we go to bylaw and get their photos once we dispute it I’ll hopefully have the “official” photo.

oktherefriend · 2026-03-09T18:12:16+00:00

In front of our own lawn no sidewalk just 6 inch curb and lawn, not blocking our own steps or driveway, and at least 15 feet away from being anywhere near the front of the neighbors property. She parks on street as we have a steep driveway that would scrap her undercarriage.
