My neighbor. WWYD?

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months
I just moved into my house about 6 weeks ago.  There are two cars that always park in front of my house.  Kind of annoys me because anyone that comes to visit has to park across the street or down the street.  Just looked out the window and it's my neighbor to the left that is doing it.  Both cars!  I think he doesn't like me.  I have waved and even yelled hello and he ignores me.  There are no cars in front of his house and one in the driveway.  Should I ask him to move them or am I just being anal?

    So wait a minute.  He has room in front of his own house and chooses to park in front of yours?  I would kindly ask him not to park in front of your house so that you and your guests have a place to park.  What a jerk.

    I'd ask him to move them, unless you fear retaliation. ?Do you have a homeowners' association? ?You could make a complaint with them.

    honestly unless it is part of your property I don't think you have any right to say anything.  Of course you can call your Police Department and see if there are any parking restrictions but then you are setting yourself up for a constant battle with your neighbor I wouldn't bother with it.

    sticky situation b/c you don't want to be on bad terms with a neighbor.  I would try to park there when it's open and leave my car there for awhile and hope he would get the message

    I would start parking my own car there while his car is gone.

    My across the street neighbor ALWAYS parks his car in front on my house.  I didn't want to say anything...  they JUST introduced themselves to us after being here 4 months now.

    They have a large AC / Heating company - so we might need their help at some point. 

    I wouldn't say anything for that reason.

    If you neighbor is an a$$hole - feel free to lay it on him.  But try and see if he is nice first... maybe go up to him and say hi.

    Oh that's annoying.

    I don't really know what to do. I think the only answer is to be assertive and request that he stop.

    You could broach the subject saying--- "Hi, I know we just bought the house and so it was probably vacant for a while, which is why you've gotten used to parking in front of our house. But now that we've settled in and have visitors from time to time, please refrain from parking in front of our house since we want our visitors (especially those with babies) to be able to park there. Thanks!"

    honestly, I know it sucks but i'd just leave it alone or just mention it in passing. Your new to the neighborhood and I wouldn't want to step on anyone's toes.

    I would set my sprinklers to go off and hose his cars down... even better, try to do it when you see him getting in or out of his car.  LOL.  Maybe that's a little mean, but how rude of him to park in front of your house!

    This would annoy my DH to no end!  I'd probably do the passive aggressive thing and just start parking in front of the neighbor's house.
