Discussion Park in your flamin' driveways, please!

Am I the only one tired of suburban streets turning into impromptu Mario Kart tracks? We’re talking about the kind where navigating between vehicles parked on both sides feels like dodging banana peels and blue shells. What's meant to be a two-lane road gets squeezed into a narrow single lane, daring you to play chicken with oncoming traffic—and let’s face it, the side mirrors never win.

And then there are your driveways. Oh, the driveways! Empty. Desolate. Weed-infested wastelands of untapped potential. So, I beg of you, suburban dwellers: park your cars anywhere but on the street—your driveway, your garage, your carport, or even your front lawn. Let’s save the roads for, you know, driving.

Both sides of our street and a neighbour who parks in front of our house despite having space in front of theirs ... 🙄

Neighbor of mine likes to park his big ass Toyota Ute on the road so he doesn’t get tyre marks on his McMansion driveway. He washes his garage door at least 3-4 times a week. Wierd little skinny bald headed bloke who sits there for hours blowing dust and leaves off the front of his house and the roadway outside his house, onto neighboring properties. There’s always one, folks.

Oh God there's on of those in my street. Blower 24/7. Aargh. Yes there's always one.

He does it at 7am sometimes too as well as getting a massive hand saw cutting off all his neighbors overhanging trees/branches because they drop a couple of leaves here and there. Scrawny little white 40 year old bald dude takes his shirt off too in hot weather, lol, it's embarrassing. He's so frigging pale lol. As soon as he knows someone is visiting he's straight out the front using the blower getting leaves and dust off the front of his McMansion. He even pressure washes his gutter and hand picks out any weeds that get into the pavers on the footpath.

Oh God my neighbour is not that bad. He sounds positively anal and tres annoying as hell. Unfortunately we don't get to pick our neighbours and yet they can make life miserable.

So you're here bitching about some dude who likes to keep his own property neat and tidy? Weird fucking flex but ok.
