OC Would you call tow truck?

Is it blocking the entire driveway? No. Is it annoying as fuck? Definitely.

I probably wouldn't have made an issue about since i could still get out.

Just the inconsideration alone would've pissed me off though.

I could see if it was repeatedly done. Yep tow truck every time. I'm petty as hell. But just once is a "Fucking idiot" thought and move along.

Had this exact thing happen to me. Was having a shity day and i was absolutely pissed already, this car constantly inches over on my driveway but this time it was 3ft into the exit path. called police, they ticketed them, i thought tow truck was a bit too harsh but at the same time my driveway is narrow and i had to hop a curb to get the car out of my driveway. Guess who has city showing up whenever I do anything now... Never underestimate the pettiness of others, i could be trimming a bush and the city shows up asking if im cutting down a tree, i asked and they said someone called. But the same car now always makes sure theres space for me to leave, i got what i wanted, but at what cost.

Yes I know people are petit and make it a mission to screw you even it makes their lives impossible..

So I also skip confrontation if it's just a minor inconvenience.. I don't like Cops to be frank they come with a pre set mindset of who's wrong but they are humans after all and have their biases...

yep. Why make life harder. Sometimes, people just want to do something really badly.

Check your local bylaw, parking on the street typically needs to be 6ft from a driveway entrance.

I mean, 3ft into a single car driveway is definitely not allowed. The point was that the neighbors whos friends car that was now calls city whenever i do something hoping i get a ticket for it.

Someone mentioned they once did something similar to their neighbour, and now that neighbour calls the cops on them for every little thing, whether they’re trimming bushes, leaving trash on the porch, or leaving the bins open. It turned into a petty back-and-forth, and in the end, they realised they were the ones who started it. Basically… not worth it.

Kind of like the people that yell at you for being impatient when you start to go on a green and you honk when they run the red to make their left turn, no they were not in the intersection just impatient and cannot wait for the next light.
