Armchair entertainment.

There is a feud going on between two of my neighbors.

Q: Who has the right to the guest parking space immediately next door to your house, you, your neighbor in the next house, or the neighbor across the alley?
A: None of the above. They are guest parking spaces and not intended for residents.

Q: Where should you park your car?
A: In the guest parking space. If you park your car in your own garage, you are a chump. You are supposed to use your garage for all the crap you can't otherwise fit in the house.

Bonus A, for the record: I am a chump. I don't have enough crap to evict my own car from my garage. Also, I don't like cleaning tree sap from my finish and scraping the ice off the windscreen on certain mornings.

There are two spaces next to my house. Technically one is next to my house, and the other is next to Next Door Neighbor. Across the Alley Neighbor has permanently parked his car in my spot.

The other day, Across the Alley Neighbor was working on one of his cars in the other spot. Across the Alley Neighbor has four cars (for four adults in his house) and two motorcycles. Apparently this pissed off Next Door Neighbor, who technically has two spaces, and who has two cars for four adults in his house but is too lazy to unload the moving boxes from his garage.

So Next Door neighbor has parked his backup car in the spot nearest my house and went away for the weekend in his SUV, leaving the spot right next to his house open.

I am tempted to park my car in that spot just to teach him a lesson. But then I would have to remove the tree sap from my car.
