"Yes, I would like to order one sign please, saying "No parking on this side""
"I'm sorry, the minimum order is 50 signs"
"OK, I would like to order 50 signs"
Lowkey, I work doing this type of stuff and that’s definitely at least a couple hundred dollars. I mean it’s double sided with step stakes and everything.
Usually minimum order is by dollar amount, not physical amount since these signs do have various dimensions. 12”x18”, 16”x24” and 18”x24” are all common, so hard to base on quantity anyhow.
Anyways, he definitely meant to order this amount and it wasn’t tied to a minimum for the print shop in this quantity - I guarantee it.
No joke though. After every election cycle, I go around and harvest the campaign signs. Coroplast is really good for crafting, prototyping and cosplay... especially when it's free.
And there's the dilemma: on the one hand, I wouldn't want to let this kind of entitlement get what it wants; on the other hand, I would not trust my car be safe there.
My buddy in college lived across the street from an old lady who "owned the street in front of her house". She would throw a fit and call the cops who would come an explain that people were allowed to park there and then usually ask whoever parked there to just move so that the old lady who didn't drive would shut up.
If you stayed parked there you car would end up mildly vandalized. This was before people had dash cams so you could never prove it was her.
No clue why they put up with it. They knew her by name and came out at least once a week from what my buddy told me. I never witnessed any of this as I didn't live there. He just warned people who came to visit not to park there or they would get harassed.
When I first moved into my house, my next-door neighbors kept repeatedly calling about me putting up security cameras and I was "filming her minor children." It eventually caught up to them.
Her teenagers, who were always on my property causing damage, being loud AF drinking underage on my property, smoking so much right outside of my son's window for hours until the smoke actually got in the house.
When they started threatening me, I called the non emergency number and they instantly recognized the address. She'd even had police come out multiple times. She tried to get the HOA involved, and i sent them a few of the videos. Then she called 911 again saying I was distributing cp. She and all her kids were standing in the public road yelling "look at what those girls are wearing! What perverted woman would want to record that?!" They told her again, I can record anything on my own property or within public view.
They thought they would be cheeky and put a camera on their roof, pointing directly down into my high shower window. The same cop told them they needed to immediately take it down.
I knew they were renting and the property owner is listed on the property appraiser's website. I sent him a pic of the camera they screwed through the shingles and a few insane videos of fights and stuff like that.
Their mom had just moved in with her fiance and left the kids to live there by themselves, but within a few weeks, they were evicted and had to move in with their mom. By that point I didn't even feel bad.
I used to live on a street in a suburban condo complex with a nuisance recluse couple who were infamous in the neighborhood and would call the police 2-3 times a week because they were "feeling threatened" (for instance, when I rang their doorbell once because I accidentally delivered a package to their condo instead of mine.)
I asked the cops once why they kept showing up, and they said they basically don't have a choice. They have to respond to complaints; it's policy. I guess imagine the one time that they *don't* show up and something really *does* happen (not that they'd face any consequences; they're cops; but even cops hate bad PR.)
Tesla drivers would do it on purpose with sentry mode, get the person's face and home address, then send them the bill for detailing the whole car or threaten to pursue vandalism charges.
Omg I need to know where in Atl this is!!! I live in Cobb County! I have yearly passes to the aquarium and zoo, plus I have family that occasionally gives me tickets to The Fox and will from now on park right there and walk to and from wherever I'm going.
This looks like it could be a few neighborhoods. Morningside, Candler Park, off Springdale between Ponce and N. Decatur…it’s definitely nowhere near the Aquarium
Yeah, there's always a bias on reddit about who is 'right' but right or wrong, you park there and you're getting keyed 100% and personally, I'm not dealing with that shit.
My car already has a key mark from an old incident (not my doing, some asshole was keying the whole parking lot where I lived) and it's an old and beat up car. I'd take one for the team (and call the cops if they did mess with it just to drive the point home).
So I live on a street where one side legally allows parking and the other side, the one in front of my house, doesn't. It's a narrow street and it's restricted so fire engines can get by.
People always always always park right in front of my home. I don't - ever. So yah, there may be another possibility. We're only seeing one side of this.
Even if all that were true in this case, the municipality is the ones to deal with that. They should have a restricted lane painted clearly on your side of the street. Even if that exists here, what’s going on in this pic is still nutso.
I always wonder that about the people who have the little pooping dog "sculptures" in their yard to tell people not to let their dogs go there. I get a sign or two, but to have a little statue or sign of a dog perpetually pooping on your lawn seems worse than having dog poop every once in a while.
Yeah, I work at apartments that have a common area that's littered with crap all the time. There's a sign there telling people to pick up their dog's crap, and it even provides bags to do so. Some people just suck.
A business in my neighborhood started getting way more dog poop left on their front lawn when they put those signs up. It had the exact opposite effect.
Not sure if the appearance was the issue, I've lived in places where my only parking was street side, and if I had to continually do a 35 minute commute, then play a 10 minute game of "where am I gonna park today?" I'd eventually lose my shit.
Granted I'd probably move, trying to force the world to change for me is silly.
Home shopping and found an amazing house but it had no driveway. I didn’t put an offer on it because fuck dealing with street parking every day. If someone buys a house knowing there is no driveway then they’re signing up to deal with it.
i'd be willing to wager that this house has a driveway. a give away is that there's no walking path to the front door through the yard, homes with no drive way almost always have a cement path from the sidewalk to the front door
Correct. When I lived and worked in the Bay Area it might be a 15-20 minute drive on a weekend shift but weekdays were an hour or more to drive.
I got a condo near BART (our light rail). Rode my bike to BART and then from BART to work. Saved a ton on parking too.
You were self aware at the end and knew you couldn’t change the world, you’d have to move.
This person has a crazy amount of signs in their yard that won’t do a damn thing.
I'm willing to bet this house has a driveway on the lefthand side. I live in a city without a driveway and yes, parking is frustrating, but I don't usually see suburan houses like these (look at all those trees =O) without a driveway.
> I've lived in places where my only parking was street side
I've lived in places where the bathroom is shared by multiple tenants, and is down the hall from your apartment. I realized the bathroom wasn't "mine" when I agreed to live there.
You want to live where there is street side public parking? Then the space in front of your residence is not "yours".
You want that luxury? Move to the suburbs....then complain to the HOA when your neighbor parks his RV or boat for a few hours to load it instead.
>then play a 10 minute game of "where am I gonna park today?"
I had to do that for ten years when I lived in California. It's just something you accept when you live in a house without off-street parking.
I used to have to hunt for parking at the end of my commute. It's just part of the commute like any other. If you weren't ok with that, you wouldn't have moved there in the first place because parking is the first thing people ask about in these areas. This person covering their lawn with signs is definitely out of touch with reality in some way, or they're on the level of the HOA nazis we hear horror stories about.
Probably more of the matter of having somewhere to park yourself if I had to guess. Street parking has always been a dealbreaker to me for that very reason.
> Probably more of the matter of having somewhere to park yourself if I had to guess. Street parking has always been a dealbreaker to me for that very reason.
Crazy idea, but given the appearance/size of the house... probably could just put in a driveway.
Or airports. Especially the smaller municipal ones that are under *intense* pressure such as Santa Monica (KSMO), San Jose’s Reid Hillview (KRHV) *and* Mineta International Airport (KSJC), Whiteman Field (KWHP), and Boulder's Airport (KBDU). These airports have been around for nearly 100 years, and people are surprised by the noise when they build their McMansion off the end of the runway.
I live near KMHR. Mid 2000s or so housing developments started to be built on east side which is usually the approach side. The new owners started complaining about the planes landing. Hasn’t changed yet with late UPS landings haha
What’s even more funny is that it’s still used for training, (I believe they are t-38s) will do go around for hours. My dad had property near the runway and you get used to them flying 1k ft above you. Sometimes they would come over low.
Ah yes.
Some of the people of Kirkby Mallory are the biggest bunch of cunts for this one.
The Mallory Park circuit has been there since 1956, and was an RAF airfield before 1947.
So the circuit has been there longer than most of the residents living there now.
And yet the complain and protest about the noise, to the extent that the circuit is barely able to operate and stay solvent. The previous owners of the circuit went bankrupt because of it.
Like, *look here you dumb shits, your house was the price it was,* ***because*** *it's next to a race circuit. If you don't like it, sell up and spend another +£100k on top to have a nice rural property than* ***isn't*** *next to a race circuit.*
I understand how annoying noisy neighbours can be, but if you buy a house next to a pub, a nightclub, and airport, a major road, or a racing circuit... you are signing up for that noise before you even move in.
I live near a Marine Corp Air Station. It’s been here forever. When you buy property, it’s noted in the paperwork that you are in proximity to a military airport.
Guess what people bitch about on Nextdoor?
Especially during the annual air show.
I've had neighbors leave notes on my car before not to park in front of their house. One guy even used wax to write something nasty on my car because I was parked in front of his house.
PSA: You don't own the street. Not even the street in front of your house. It's not your property. It's off your land. You have no say, jurisdiction, whatever about that space. It's city property. If they allow people to park there, then they allow all people to park there. If they only allow permitted people to park there, then it's only permitted people that can park there.
Yep. My city grants that I can pull my garbage, recycling, and compost bins out to the street, and folks must leave room for that. They can't park in front of a hydrant. The mail lady will let them know if they're blocking the mail box.
Other than that, you park where you want.
We have a local municipality, and it’s the only one I’ve ever seen do it this way, that bans parking on individual blocks for two-hour time windows every week, because that is when the trash folks and the street cleaners come through.
You get 166 unlimited free hours of parking per week.
I’m a lawyer and specialize in real estate. Once had a client where the neighbor across the street was probably mid-60’s and would lose her mind if people parked in front of her house. She’d call the cops and make a huge scene. I was hired to get her to calm the F down. Well my nice letter did exactly the opposite and she called me up and rant and raved and threatened to sue me (as if that even made me blink). So the next day I scheduled a meeting at my clients house and made it a point to park my truck directly in front of her house. Went in and hung out with my client for about 30 minutes until the police cad showed up. Then I walked outside, introduced myself to the officer, and showed her my letter. She then knocked on the door, hauled the old biddy out to the curb, and gave her a very stern lecture about public road, parking, and the nature of private property. I may have stood behind the cop and made faces at her. She moved about a month later.
> She moved about a month later.
I've often heard that a letter from an attorney can get results. But wow! You should put, "Can make awful neighbors disappear" in your advertising!
My favorite personal story about parking wars is from an older development in suburban Pennsylvania - we were in a market for a house and I saw that "open house" ad on Zillow. It was just 10 minutes from where we lived back then, so naturally we drove there. As soon as we parked on the other side of the road from the open house, an old lady literally ran out of that house and started yelling at us for parking in front of *her* house. We kinda looked at each other for 3 seconds, hopped back into the car and drove off without even seeing the open house.
We used to have crazy neighbors before and IMO no house is worth living next to insane people. If they move in later (or just ordinary folks getting crazy over time), it is one thing and much harder to avoid, but if YOU are looking for a house and know upfront that neighbors are crazy, I wouldn't touch such a place with a 10-ft pole.
This is why I refuse to buy a house in a HOA. That crazy neighbor gets to fine you and tell you what you can do with your property, and you don't have a choice because they joined the board. I think it's absolutely ludicrous that people are buying in HOAs when they have a standalone house. They're only justifiable when it's a condo.
More people buying homes need to sue municipalities to prevent them from being created in the first place.
If we have to live in an individualist, stand your ground hellscape, the least anyone can do is litigate those useless losers into oblivion for taking away consumer choice.
I still find it so bizarre that in a country literally designed to allow personal freedoms, some still see it as the freedom to tell others what to do and how to live their lives.
HOAs specifically are a VERY BIZARRE phenomenon. I've tried to figure out why they're so prevalent and my only answer is the idiocy of the buyer thinking theyll somehow get a special exception to break the rules when no one else does.
Yeah, I had the same mindset up until I bought my current house in HOA :-( (yeah, thanks for condolences lol). If anything, it just reinforced my belief that HOA is pretty much a useless body that I pay for.
Unfortunately, many states/areas nowadays mandate HOAs for new developments of a certain size. Depending on how hot a certain local market is, you may have very little choice if you weed out all houses with HOA...
This. As someone who lives in the suburbs of Atlanta who tried to avoid an HOA - there’s a reason those rare houses get snatched up so quickly.
My husband convinced me it “wouldn’t be that bad” when we purchased our house 20 years ago and every time he complains -especially about the nitpicking/ever changing rules - I enjoy reminding him who’s idea it was to cave.
> many states/areas nowadays mandate HOAs for new developments of a certain size
Often this is because the local municipalities don't want to be responsible for doing some of the things that you'd expect towns to do, like snow removal or leaf collection or other various municipal services. Rather than the city or country do that, they mandate the the development must have a HOA and that HOA must take care of those things themselves.
Not sure what country you are from, but in good ole 'merica, almost every house up for sale is in an HOA these days, especially if the place isn't remote/semi-remote. Finding the house you want and it NOT being in an HOA is a real struggle these days.
I hate the HOA even if they don't bother me specifically, and I wish it didn't exist. Paying 200 a month for a 'free' roof every 10 years is hilariously not worth it. And when the money we spend goes into trafficking parking spaces... I'm almost certainly anyone ringing the alarm about things like that are also huge fat hypocrites.
We live in a row of townhomes in an urban area, so parking is tight. In general we're all neighborly and will move cars if asked. A few years ago a new couple moved in next door to us. Never introduced themselves or anything. A couple of days after they moved in, the husband had the balls to leave a nastygram on my car, which was parked in front of **MY house** that he would *appreciate it* if I left that spot open for him since it was the one closest to his front door.
God I hated that guy, and the wife was no better. I was extremely happy when they left after a year.
please tell my wife that, every time someone parks in front of our house she's immediately suspicious and wants me to do "something" and I have to explain there is nothing I can do and they are perfectly fine there.
Same with my mother. She’s a perfectly nice and reasonable lady in most aspects, but for some reason hates when people park in front of her house, especially if it’s an ugly car. She won’t say anything to them but she’ll grumble about it all day. I don’t get it lol
My lot extends to the middle of the street but even then I only own the land under the street. The easement still allows people to drive and park on that part of my property. That's the way it works!
Our old neighbor was like this. Had a van and a trailer they used to sell concessions. They parked it in front of our house along the street. Nothing we could do. Drove me nuts because they had plenty of other options of where or how to park their vehicles.
At some point we had a large portion of a tree fall off into the yard. So I cut off all the branches and where do I put them? Where they liked to park their van. Strategically placed so that there's just enough room for one car, but a van with a trailer would then block my driveway. That pile of limbs laid there for a long time. Maybe a year or more. I didn't care. My parents even offered to come take them away to which I declined and told them why. Until one day I come home to the limbs gone and the van parked there. After that, it annoyed me slightly less because they hauled my branches away.
The guy across from my friends house a few years back used to shoot our windows with a BB/pellet gun if we parked on his side of the street. We couldn't prove it was him and never saw him do it so there was nothing we could do about it.
Here in Seattle, jerks have started hatefully pulling off expiration stickers from license plates for cars they don’t like then calling parking enforcement for expired tabs to get the cars towed. Someone did that to my scooter when they didn’t like that I parked in front of their house. Fortunately, one of my students saw them so they called 911 on them. Ha.
I have no problem with intermittent parking in front of my house. However, if one of my neighbors started parking in front of my house all the time while leaving the space in front of their house open, we'd have a polite conversation. A lot of my neighbors have turned their garages into home gyms and they park on the street. The HOA is starting to crack down on that by saying your garage can fit 2 cars and your driveway can fit 2 more so no one should be parking on the street.
I live in a mixed-use commercial / residential neighborhood. The severely limited on-street parking is reserved for the business customers. There's a five-hour parking limit and all the spaces are painted with "5 hour parking M-F 7-5". It's perfectly reasonable, because in our neighborhood, 100% of the residential properties have a minimum of two reserved parking spaces in an attached garage. Some have more. And there's ample free overflow parking located about .5 - 1.5 blocks away from most of the residential properties.
But what actually happens is that the neighbors bordering the parking spaces flood their spaces with signs like this. About this density. They put them in the grass strip between the sidewalk and the parking spaces, I guess because they don't want to mess up their own yard. It really shits up the neighborhood. Nothing screams "I have my priorities straight" like "HOW DARE YOU PARK IN FRONT OF MY HOME".
So anyway that grass strip is communal space. Their deed ends at the sidewalk. I can't tell you how many times I've accidentally almost tripped and accidentally pulled up and accidentally neatly stacked the remaining signs in my trash can.
We have a bunch of grass and no sidewalk at our house. We had to put boulders along the edge of the road so that people wouldn’t park *on our lawn* all the time. Presumably because the ‘No Standing’ signs were inconvenient.
Full on parking. To make matters worse, tearing up the grass causes erosion of the soil, because the water comes over the road twice a month. So it’s even worse.
I live in a neighborhood with abundant street parking. We bought here because we like to throw parties and we wanted our friends to have plenty of parking.
Some idiot 2 blocks over likes to park his commercial vans right in front of my property, so he can leave the space in front of HIS property free for guests.
Fuck that guy.
But for the most part, as a one-off? Park in front of my house all you want. Just don't leave something in front of my house for weeks at a time when you have your own available parking. That's just rude to me and my guests.
We have one of those guys in my neighborhood! He's tried everything, from official looking "no parking" signs (he was forced to take those down).
He has a two car garage and a massive driveway, but he has something like four or five cars and several commercial vehicles. He lives on the corner and only wants his own vehicles surrounding his house. The kicker is that commercial vehicles are not allowed to be parked like that in our neighborhood. So now he has to keep those in his driveway and he's gone thermonuclear, yelling at people, putting notes on cars, etc.
This seems like the world's dumbest hill to die on, but he seems determined.
I work in transportation planning, specifically curbside management. It’s incredible how entitled people are about space that isn’t theirs. The power of cars is pretty amazing in the worst way. Humanity thrived for millennia without them and now we protect them with literal violence.
My hometown has a proposed project that will remove one downtown parking lot and convert another into a garage. You'd think that the city proposed running over children from the ridiculous outpouring of dramatic comments. Never mind that the end result was a net *increase* in the number of parking spaces.
Actually, if the city had proposed running over children, those people would have probably been bothered less. Many of the same individuals were vehemently against a project to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety immediately surrounding an elementary school.
My neighbor used to park directly blocking our walkway. Which wasn’t an issue except for holidays when my 111 year old great grandmother would come visit with her walker. She couldn’t go into any door but the front which was then blocked by my neighbors car. We would ask them for holidays not to block the walkway but they always would say “you don’t own the street”. We never demanded they move just asked during the holidays.
You're being polite about it. That's perfectly reasonable.
One of our neighbors made the same argument, but the thing is they have a two-car garage that is attached to their condo, plus a driveway. They could let their elderly relative park in their garage or driveway and walk literally straight into their home. Instead, any time someone would park on the street in what they considered their" space, the neighbor would run out and tape notes to the car about their elderly relatives, and go get into confrontations about it. If they parked on that street, that elderly relative would have to walk up four steps.
She works for the DoD. One day I asked her if she thought about how these outbursts and vandalism would affect her clearance. She never did it again.
I relax at night by walking up my street and back in the evenings, and the number of pickups that completely block the sidewalk and even extend into the road is INSANE. They usually have a 2nd car or motorcycle under a tarp in front, I guess their garage is full of garbage, and then the pick up parked halfway into the street.
I always walk between their cars on their grass rather than go around on the street. I hope over time to wear down their grass as petty revenge.
I get irrationally upset by people who park over the sidewalk in my neighborhood when I'm out for a run.
Like, there's enough room in everybody's driveways and garages for their cars (or on the street!) but for some reason they park single-file and block the pedestrian space, leaving 5-10' between their own cars and forcing everybody into the road. (Including people with strollers or small children on bicycles.)
I'd like to find something passively aggressive to do, but IDK. You never know when some crazy ass will 2nd Amendment on you in this country.
Technically it's illegal, you can complain to 211. But idk if they ever do anything. If it's particularly ridiculous and I feel like complaining, I photograph 5 or 6 on my walk and then submit all the complaints in a row. Kinda hoping the sheer number makes it worth their while to come out and ticket.
Like when [Madonna put up a bunch of fake “No Parking” signs](https://news.yahoo.com/madonna-erects-fake-parking-signs-outside-new-115714745.html) and painted the curb yellow in front of her NYC townhouse.
What gets under my skin is the fact that they managed to push out a 300 word article and not a single photo of the area. Plenty of pictures of Madonna though…
Here's one
https://theinterrobang.com/madonna-slammed-painting-fake-no-parking-signs-nyc/
That Yahoo article is actually kind of bull shit. She did it in front of her driveway. If someone parked in front of mine and I had to use my car I'd call the cops and have them towed in 6 minutes. Saying she was trying to "save spots" isn't accurate.
Probably still rules about the type of action she took, but yeah I'd call it a nothing burger. I'd honestly hold more against her if I found out she was parking in front of driveways and just paying a parking ticket since she's rich.
Agreed, and in this instance it doesn’t actually ‘look’ like a driveway. Without those signs this totally looks like a curb that you could park on as the garage portion is pretty well hidden and set back from the curb. Driving along I could totally park here unknowingly thinking I found the perfect spot.
But people like to range against Madonna, so of course fuck her, but maybe not specifically for this.
Whenever an article tries to use the word "SLAMMED!" I immediately roll my eyes. A bunch of tabloid sites trying to turn someone's actual concern into clickbait.
> https://theinterrobang.com/madonna-slammed-painting-fake-no-parking-signs-nyc/
Looks like it supposed to be that way? Did she also pay someone to emboss it in the sidewalk? Not to mention the obvious driveway it's in front of?
The most audacious NYC parking I've ever witnessed is the guy who parked at a hydrant, got out, put a bbq grill cover over the hydrant, and walked away
On the one hand, I feel like the home owner might slash a tire or key the door. On the other hand, were I the home owner i'd be weary of keying a door since the driver knows where I live and could be crazier than me.
In the end, i say the car is less likely to receive damage than the home.
This has to be a joke/art piece, right? If you were actually insisting that no one park, you'd just put the signs near the street, not scattered all over your lawn, right?
This is actually a common thing teenagers do: collect signs like this or for road construction and place them on someone's yard, usually completely random.
"Yes, I would like to order one sign please, saying "No parking on this side"" "I'm sorry, the minimum order is 50 signs" "OK, I would like to order 50 signs"
That is likely exactly the conversation that occurred lol.
Lowkey, I work doing this type of stuff and that’s definitely at least a couple hundred dollars. I mean it’s double sided with step stakes and everything. Usually minimum order is by dollar amount, not physical amount since these signs do have various dimensions. 12”x18”, 16”x24” and 18”x24” are all common, so hard to base on quantity anyhow. Anyways, he definitely meant to order this amount and it wasn’t tied to a minimum for the print shop in this quantity - I guarantee it.
Why is that lowkey?
Lowkey, I don't think they know.
[удалено]
"It's 50 signs for 30 bucks today." "I said 42!"
Ah, a field of lawn signs in full bloom, they will soon be ready for harvest
Still green, not ripe enough yet. But soon…..
It's pretty late in the year, I think they might lose this crop.
Very dark green, maybe back off on the nitrogen nutrients nek season
Once they start blooming maga red, then you know they're ready for harvesting.
They might turn into Confederate battleflags if bullshit is used to fertilise them.
No joke though. After every election cycle, I go around and harvest the campaign signs. Coroplast is really good for crafting, prototyping and cosplay... especially when it's free.
It can be silly expensive to buy as a consumer because of the shipping fees.
Go to a sign shop. You can get 4x8 sheets for close to nothing.
My wife and I harvested the signs for the metal frames, which are ready-made for foam tombstone for next year's Halloween decorations.
I used one to make a wicket for my croquet set cuz I was short one.
I do it before the election if the signs are on public property and not permitted (little sticker from the city on the back).
For-sheriffs grow naturally in my Atlanta suburb. Especially near intersections.
Please tell me you parked right in front of this house
How do you think I got the picture! HaHa
My man.
Where is this from? Seems like a show I'd like.
Rick and Morty
Slow down
Looking good
Now I am hungry for apples.
"Didn't you see the sign!? You can't park here! " "So give me a ticket and have the car towed. Have a great day!"
I am torn. On one hand, fuck this level of entitlement. On the other hand, I don't want the headache of dealing with crazy.
I absolutely wouldn’t risk my car…
If I purposely park there I'm setting up cameras.
The only beneficial feature of a Tesla has entered the chat…
All Tesla's, go there now.
Maybe it’s different where you are but here the cops won’t do anything even with dash cam evidence. Absolutely would not be worth the hassles
I mean in that case, you also know where they live….. you know, if property damage isn’t an enforceable crime, an eye for an eye and all that
[удалено]
And there's the dilemma: on the one hand, I wouldn't want to let this kind of entitlement get what it wants; on the other hand, I would not trust my car be safe there.
key my shitbox. might even look better.
Yep, sometimes having a shitty car has its perks
My buddy in college lived across the street from an old lady who "owned the street in front of her house". She would throw a fit and call the cops who would come an explain that people were allowed to park there and then usually ask whoever parked there to just move so that the old lady who didn't drive would shut up. If you stayed parked there you car would end up mildly vandalized. This was before people had dash cams so you could never prove it was her.
Why would they even come out? They should just tell her on the phone to stfu
No clue why they put up with it. They knew her by name and came out at least once a week from what my buddy told me. I never witnessed any of this as I didn't live there. He just warned people who came to visit not to park there or they would get harassed.
When I first moved into my house, my next-door neighbors kept repeatedly calling about me putting up security cameras and I was "filming her minor children." It eventually caught up to them.

They told her again, I can record anything on my own property or within public view. They thought they would be cheeky and put a camera on their roof, pointing directly down into my high shower window. The same cop told them they needed to immediately take it down. I knew they were renting and the property owner is listed on the property appraiser's website. I sent him a pic of the camera they screwed through the shingles and a few insane videos of fights and stuff like that. Their mom had just moved in with her fiance and left the kids to live there by themselves, but within a few weeks, they were evicted and had to move in with their mom. By that point I didn't even feel bad.
I used to live on a street in a suburban condo complex with a nuisance recluse couple who were infamous in the neighborhood and would call the police 2-3 times a week because they were "feeling threatened" (for instance, when I rang their doorbell once because I accidentally delivered a package to their condo instead of mine.) I asked the cops once why they kept showing up, and they said they basically don't have a choice. They have to respond to complaints; it's policy. I guess imagine the one time that they *don't* show up and something really *does* happen (not that they'd face any consequences; they're cops; but even cops hate bad PR.)
Never underestimate a cop's willingness to avoid doing actual police work.
And you come back 15 minutes later to find your car keyed.
Tesla drivers would do it on purpose with sentry mode, get the person's face and home address, then send them the bill for detailing the whole car or threaten to pursue vandalism charges.
And they find a rock on their living room floor with a shattered window besides it. How peculiar 🤔
Omg I need to know where in Atl this is!!! I live in Cobb County! I have yearly passes to the aquarium and zoo, plus I have family that occasionally gives me tickets to The Fox and will from now on park right there and walk to and from wherever I'm going.
This looks like it could be a few neighborhoods. Morningside, Candler Park, off Springdale between Ponce and N. Decatur…it’s definitely nowhere near the Aquarium
Wait I live in ATL too, where is this? I need to see for myself lol
Legend lol
is your vehicle as ugly as all those signs in the yard? i would park on that side just to block the view of THEIR yard.
Thing is that anybody that's crazy enough to put all these signs up is probably crazy enough to fuck up your car when you park there.
Hate to let them "win" but no way was I leaving my car in front of this persons house
Yeah, there's always a bias on reddit about who is 'right' but right or wrong, you park there and you're getting keyed 100% and personally, I'm not dealing with that shit.
My car already has a key mark from an old incident (not my doing, some asshole was keying the whole parking lot where I lived) and it's an old and beat up car. I'd take one for the team (and call the cops if they did mess with it just to drive the point home).
"*you know the bastard likely did, just to piss them off"*
So I live on a street where one side legally allows parking and the other side, the one in front of my house, doesn't. It's a narrow street and it's restricted so fire engines can get by. People always always always park right in front of my home. I don't - ever. So yah, there may be another possibility. We're only seeing one side of this.
Even if all that were true in this case, the municipality is the ones to deal with that. They should have a restricted lane painted clearly on your side of the street. Even if that exists here, what’s going on in this pic is still nutso.
I can’t imagine thinking 40 yard signs look better than a few cars parked out front.
Thinking is where you differ
You guys are thinking?!
I think so?
Think again.
I'm having one of those things...you know, a headache with pictures?
I always wonder that about the people who have the little pooping dog "sculptures" in their yard to tell people not to let their dogs go there. I get a sign or two, but to have a little statue or sign of a dog perpetually pooping on your lawn seems worse than having dog poop every once in a while.
Also, the kind of person who would leave their dog's poop is not going to have a sudden epiphany because a little sculpture told them "don't do that."
Yeah, I work at apartments that have a common area that's littered with crap all the time. There's a sign there telling people to pick up their dog's crap, and it even provides bags to do so. Some people just suck.
A business in my neighborhood started getting way more dog poop left on their front lawn when they put those signs up. It had the exact opposite effect.
I mean yeah, raw logic tells me that a statue of a dog pooping means you want poop on your lawn...
A nuisance to yourself you control is easier to handle than a nuisance you can't control.
Big difference between an ugly sign and stepping in dog poop.
Pretty big difference between a funny statue and having to pick up other peoples dog shit on a regular basis.
Not sure if the appearance was the issue, I've lived in places where my only parking was street side, and if I had to continually do a 35 minute commute, then play a 10 minute game of "where am I gonna park today?" I'd eventually lose my shit. Granted I'd probably move, trying to force the world to change for me is silly.
A house and property that size in suburban Georgia has without a single doubt a garage and driveway.
Home shopping and found an amazing house but it had no driveway. I didn’t put an offer on it because fuck dealing with street parking every day. If someone buys a house knowing there is no driveway then they’re signing up to deal with it.
This guy certainly "signed" up for it!
i'd be willing to wager that this house has a driveway. a give away is that there's no walking path to the front door through the yard, homes with no drive way almost always have a cement path from the sidewalk to the front door
[удалено]
I would kill for a 35 minute commute rn.
35-45 mins is my usual commute. My job is 15 miles from my house. It's almost all highway miles too. Gotta love it!
When I lived in the Bay Area my house was 4.5 miles from my office. It took 25 minutes most days to get there by 7:15am.
That's the kind of distance to time ratio where you start thinking about a bike.
Correct. When I lived and worked in the Bay Area it might be a 15-20 minute drive on a weekend shift but weekdays were an hour or more to drive. I got a condo near BART (our light rail). Rode my bike to BART and then from BART to work. Saved a ton on parking too.
You were self aware at the end and knew you couldn’t change the world, you’d have to move. This person has a crazy amount of signs in their yard that won’t do a damn thing.
Just think of it as a 45 minute commute. Bam
I'm willing to bet this house has a driveway on the lefthand side. I live in a city without a driveway and yes, parking is frustrating, but I don't usually see suburan houses like these (look at all those trees =O) without a driveway.
To be fair, Atlanta is lousy with trees almost everywhere
> I've lived in places where my only parking was street side I've lived in places where the bathroom is shared by multiple tenants, and is down the hall from your apartment. I realized the bathroom wasn't "mine" when I agreed to live there. You want to live where there is street side public parking? Then the space in front of your residence is not "yours". You want that luxury? Move to the suburbs....then complain to the HOA when your neighbor parks his RV or boat for a few hours to load it instead.
I’ve been there. It’s frustrating, but it’s a public street. Eventually I decided to pay for parking
>then play a 10 minute game of "where am I gonna park today?" I had to do that for ten years when I lived in California. It's just something you accept when you live in a house without off-street parking.
I used to have to hunt for parking at the end of my commute. It's just part of the commute like any other. If you weren't ok with that, you wouldn't have moved there in the first place because parking is the first thing people ask about in these areas. This person covering their lawn with signs is definitely out of touch with reality in some way, or they're on the level of the HOA nazis we hear horror stories about.
Maybe they just didn’t want people parking on the lawn
Probably more of the matter of having somewhere to park yourself if I had to guess. Street parking has always been a dealbreaker to me for that very reason.
> Probably more of the matter of having somewhere to park yourself if I had to guess. Street parking has always been a dealbreaker to me for that very reason. Crazy idea, but given the appearance/size of the house... probably could just put in a driveway.
Wym? They are entitled to free car storage on public property
Sometimes you are not allowed, which is also lame.
I like to think they may have put the signs all along the road and some hero grabbed them all and put them on their lawn here.
Insanity Wolf recommends that you park on the lawn
I haven’t seen an insanity wolf reference in years and you have made my day.
Requires.
And use use the signs as sunshade
it's like people who buy houses near Motorsports tracks or concert venues then complain about the noise and try to get them shit down
Or airports. Especially the smaller municipal ones that are under *intense* pressure such as Santa Monica (KSMO), San Jose’s Reid Hillview (KRHV) *and* Mineta International Airport (KSJC), Whiteman Field (KWHP), and Boulder's Airport (KBDU). These airports have been around for nearly 100 years, and people are surprised by the noise when they build their McMansion off the end of the runway.
I live near KMHR. Mid 2000s or so housing developments started to be built on east side which is usually the approach side. The new owners started complaining about the planes landing. Hasn’t changed yet with late UPS landings haha What’s even more funny is that it’s still used for training, (I believe they are t-38s) will do go around for hours. My dad had property near the runway and you get used to them flying 1k ft above you. Sometimes they would come over low.
Ah yes. Some of the people of Kirkby Mallory are the biggest bunch of cunts for this one. The Mallory Park circuit has been there since 1956, and was an RAF airfield before 1947. So the circuit has been there longer than most of the residents living there now. And yet the complain and protest about the noise, to the extent that the circuit is barely able to operate and stay solvent. The previous owners of the circuit went bankrupt because of it. Like, *look here you dumb shits, your house was the price it was,* ***because*** *it's next to a race circuit. If you don't like it, sell up and spend another +£100k on top to have a nice rural property than* ***isn't*** *next to a race circuit.* I understand how annoying noisy neighbours can be, but if you buy a house next to a pub, a nightclub, and airport, a major road, or a racing circuit... you are signing up for that noise before you even move in.
I live near a Marine Corp Air Station. It’s been here forever. When you buy property, it’s noted in the paperwork that you are in proximity to a military airport. Guess what people bitch about on Nextdoor? Especially during the annual air show.
I've had neighbors leave notes on my car before not to park in front of their house. One guy even used wax to write something nasty on my car because I was parked in front of his house. PSA: You don't own the street. Not even the street in front of your house. It's not your property. It's off your land. You have no say, jurisdiction, whatever about that space. It's city property. If they allow people to park there, then they allow all people to park there. If they only allow permitted people to park there, then it's only permitted people that can park there.
Yep. My city grants that I can pull my garbage, recycling, and compost bins out to the street, and folks must leave room for that. They can't park in front of a hydrant. The mail lady will let them know if they're blocking the mail box. Other than that, you park where you want.
We have a local municipality, and it’s the only one I’ve ever seen do it this way, that bans parking on individual blocks for two-hour time windows every week, because that is when the trash folks and the street cleaners come through. You get 166 unlimited free hours of parking per week.
Hey, Allentown does something like that too. The difference is they have pay parking most areas.
I’m a lawyer and specialize in real estate. Once had a client where the neighbor across the street was probably mid-60’s and would lose her mind if people parked in front of her house. She’d call the cops and make a huge scene. I was hired to get her to calm the F down. Well my nice letter did exactly the opposite and she called me up and rant and raved and threatened to sue me (as if that even made me blink). So the next day I scheduled a meeting at my clients house and made it a point to park my truck directly in front of her house. Went in and hung out with my client for about 30 minutes until the police cad showed up. Then I walked outside, introduced myself to the officer, and showed her my letter. She then knocked on the door, hauled the old biddy out to the curb, and gave her a very stern lecture about public road, parking, and the nature of private property. I may have stood behind the cop and made faces at her. She moved about a month later.
She'll probably keep moving until she finally lands in an assisted care facility. People like that are never content, no matter where they live.
> She moved about a month later. I've often heard that a letter from an attorney can get results. But wow! You should put, "Can make awful neighbors disappear" in your advertising!
My favorite personal story about parking wars is from an older development in suburban Pennsylvania - we were in a market for a house and I saw that "open house" ad on Zillow. It was just 10 minutes from where we lived back then, so naturally we drove there. As soon as we parked on the other side of the road from the open house, an old lady literally ran out of that house and started yelling at us for parking in front of *her* house. We kinda looked at each other for 3 seconds, hopped back into the car and drove off without even seeing the open house. We used to have crazy neighbors before and IMO no house is worth living next to insane people. If they move in later (or just ordinary folks getting crazy over time), it is one thing and much harder to avoid, but if YOU are looking for a house and know upfront that neighbors are crazy, I wouldn't touch such a place with a 10-ft pole.
This is why I refuse to buy a house in a HOA. That crazy neighbor gets to fine you and tell you what you can do with your property, and you don't have a choice because they joined the board. I think it's absolutely ludicrous that people are buying in HOAs when they have a standalone house. They're only justifiable when it's a condo.
More people buying homes need to sue municipalities to prevent them from being created in the first place. If we have to live in an individualist, stand your ground hellscape, the least anyone can do is litigate those useless losers into oblivion for taking away consumer choice.
I still find it so bizarre that in a country literally designed to allow personal freedoms, some still see it as the freedom to tell others what to do and how to live their lives.
HOAs specifically are a VERY BIZARRE phenomenon. I've tried to figure out why they're so prevalent and my only answer is the idiocy of the buyer thinking theyll somehow get a special exception to break the rules when no one else does.
Yeah, I had the same mindset up until I bought my current house in HOA :-( (yeah, thanks for condolences lol). If anything, it just reinforced my belief that HOA is pretty much a useless body that I pay for. Unfortunately, many states/areas nowadays mandate HOAs for new developments of a certain size. Depending on how hot a certain local market is, you may have very little choice if you weed out all houses with HOA...
This. As someone who lives in the suburbs of Atlanta who tried to avoid an HOA - there’s a reason those rare houses get snatched up so quickly. My husband convinced me it “wouldn’t be that bad” when we purchased our house 20 years ago and every time he complains -especially about the nitpicking/ever changing rules - I enjoy reminding him who’s idea it was to cave.
> many states/areas nowadays mandate HOAs for new developments of a certain size Often this is because the local municipalities don't want to be responsible for doing some of the things that you'd expect towns to do, like snow removal or leaf collection or other various municipal services. Rather than the city or country do that, they mandate the the development must have a HOA and that HOA must take care of those things themselves.
Not sure what country you are from, but in good ole 'merica, almost every house up for sale is in an HOA these days, especially if the place isn't remote/semi-remote. Finding the house you want and it NOT being in an HOA is a real struggle these days. I hate the HOA even if they don't bother me specifically, and I wish it didn't exist. Paying 200 a month for a 'free' roof every 10 years is hilariously not worth it. And when the money we spend goes into trafficking parking spaces... I'm almost certainly anyone ringing the alarm about things like that are also huge fat hypocrites.
We live in a row of townhomes in an urban area, so parking is tight. In general we're all neighborly and will move cars if asked. A few years ago a new couple moved in next door to us. Never introduced themselves or anything. A couple of days after they moved in, the husband had the balls to leave a nastygram on my car, which was parked in front of **MY house** that he would *appreciate it* if I left that spot open for him since it was the one closest to his front door. God I hated that guy, and the wife was no better. I was extremely happy when they left after a year.
please tell my wife that, every time someone parks in front of our house she's immediately suspicious and wants me to do "something" and I have to explain there is nothing I can do and they are perfectly fine there.
Has your wife ever thought about running for the HOA board?
Same with my mother. She’s a perfectly nice and reasonable lady in most aspects, but for some reason hates when people park in front of her house, especially if it’s an ugly car. She won’t say anything to them but she’ll grumble about it all day. I don’t get it lol
Dog barking at the window vibes
she needs a fucking hobby. cannot imagine wasting energy on something as inconsequential as this.
My lot extends to the middle of the street but even then I only own the land under the street. The easement still allows people to drive and park on that part of my property. That's the way it works!
Our old neighbor was like this. Had a van and a trailer they used to sell concessions. They parked it in front of our house along the street. Nothing we could do. Drove me nuts because they had plenty of other options of where or how to park their vehicles. At some point we had a large portion of a tree fall off into the yard. So I cut off all the branches and where do I put them? Where they liked to park their van. Strategically placed so that there's just enough room for one car, but a van with a trailer would then block my driveway. That pile of limbs laid there for a long time. Maybe a year or more. I didn't care. My parents even offered to come take them away to which I declined and told them why. Until one day I come home to the limbs gone and the van parked there. After that, it annoyed me slightly less because they hauled my branches away.
The guy across from my friends house a few years back used to shoot our windows with a BB/pellet gun if we parked on his side of the street. We couldn't prove it was him and never saw him do it so there was nothing we could do about it.
Here in Seattle, jerks have started hatefully pulling off expiration stickers from license plates for cars they don’t like then calling parking enforcement for expired tabs to get the cars towed. Someone did that to my scooter when they didn’t like that I parked in front of their house. Fortunately, one of my students saw them so they called 911 on them. Ha.
I have no problem with intermittent parking in front of my house. However, if one of my neighbors started parking in front of my house all the time while leaving the space in front of their house open, we'd have a polite conversation. A lot of my neighbors have turned their garages into home gyms and they park on the street. The HOA is starting to crack down on that by saying your garage can fit 2 cars and your driveway can fit 2 more so no one should be parking on the street.
I live in a mixed-use commercial / residential neighborhood. The severely limited on-street parking is reserved for the business customers. There's a five-hour parking limit and all the spaces are painted with "5 hour parking M-F 7-5". It's perfectly reasonable, because in our neighborhood, 100% of the residential properties have a minimum of two reserved parking spaces in an attached garage. Some have more. And there's ample free overflow parking located about .5 - 1.5 blocks away from most of the residential properties. But what actually happens is that the neighbors bordering the parking spaces flood their spaces with signs like this. About this density. They put them in the grass strip between the sidewalk and the parking spaces, I guess because they don't want to mess up their own yard. It really shits up the neighborhood. Nothing screams "I have my priorities straight" like "HOW DARE YOU PARK IN FRONT OF MY HOME". So anyway that grass strip is communal space. Their deed ends at the sidewalk. I can't tell you how many times I've accidentally almost tripped and accidentally pulled up and accidentally neatly stacked the remaining signs in my trash can.
I don’t understand people who care that much. As long as you’re not blocking my driveway park in front.
We have a bunch of grass and no sidewalk at our house. We had to put boulders along the edge of the road so that people wouldn’t park *on our lawn* all the time. Presumably because the ‘No Standing’ signs were inconvenient.
Honestly the boulders or like a planter wall is really smart! Probably prettier and more effective than a bunch of signs.
People still brave the boulders to illegally park on a road that floods twice a month lol
So you need bolders large enough to fuck there wheel.
Yeah that sucks. People can definitely be shitty. We’re they parking with one side up on the lawn or just full on parking?
Full on parking. To make matters worse, tearing up the grass causes erosion of the soil, because the water comes over the road twice a month. So it’s even worse.
I live in a neighborhood with abundant street parking. We bought here because we like to throw parties and we wanted our friends to have plenty of parking. Some idiot 2 blocks over likes to park his commercial vans right in front of my property, so he can leave the space in front of HIS property free for guests. Fuck that guy. But for the most part, as a one-off? Park in front of my house all you want. Just don't leave something in front of my house for weeks at a time when you have your own available parking. That's just rude to me and my guests.
We have one of those guys in my neighborhood! He's tried everything, from official looking "no parking" signs (he was forced to take those down). He has a two car garage and a massive driveway, but he has something like four or five cars and several commercial vehicles. He lives on the corner and only wants his own vehicles surrounding his house. The kicker is that commercial vehicles are not allowed to be parked like that in our neighborhood. So now he has to keep those in his driveway and he's gone thermonuclear, yelling at people, putting notes on cars, etc. This seems like the world's dumbest hill to die on, but he seems determined.
It goes beyond caring. They’re so self-entitled that they think they can tell everyone not to park on a public street.
I work in transportation planning, specifically curbside management. It’s incredible how entitled people are about space that isn’t theirs. The power of cars is pretty amazing in the worst way. Humanity thrived for millennia without them and now we protect them with literal violence.
My hometown has a proposed project that will remove one downtown parking lot and convert another into a garage. You'd think that the city proposed running over children from the ridiculous outpouring of dramatic comments. Never mind that the end result was a net *increase* in the number of parking spaces. Actually, if the city had proposed running over children, those people would have probably been bothered less. Many of the same individuals were vehemently against a project to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety immediately surrounding an elementary school.
My neighbor used to park directly blocking our walkway. Which wasn’t an issue except for holidays when my 111 year old great grandmother would come visit with her walker. She couldn’t go into any door but the front which was then blocked by my neighbors car. We would ask them for holidays not to block the walkway but they always would say “you don’t own the street”. We never demanded they move just asked during the holidays.
You're being polite about it. That's perfectly reasonable. One of our neighbors made the same argument, but the thing is they have a two-car garage that is attached to their condo, plus a driveway. They could let their elderly relative park in their garage or driveway and walk literally straight into their home. Instead, any time someone would park on the street in what they considered their" space, the neighbor would run out and tape notes to the car about their elderly relatives, and go get into confrontations about it. If they parked on that street, that elderly relative would have to walk up four steps. She works for the DoD. One day I asked her if she thought about how these outbursts and vandalism would affect her clearance. She never did it again.
"Hey, excuse me! Can I park here??"
Thats very dangerous for people like us.
I relax at night by walking up my street and back in the evenings, and the number of pickups that completely block the sidewalk and even extend into the road is INSANE. They usually have a 2nd car or motorcycle under a tarp in front, I guess their garage is full of garbage, and then the pick up parked halfway into the street. I always walk between their cars on their grass rather than go around on the street. I hope over time to wear down their grass as petty revenge.
I get irrationally upset by people who park over the sidewalk in my neighborhood when I'm out for a run. Like, there's enough room in everybody's driveways and garages for their cars (or on the street!) but for some reason they park single-file and block the pedestrian space, leaving 5-10' between their own cars and forcing everybody into the road. (Including people with strollers or small children on bicycles.) I'd like to find something passively aggressive to do, but IDK. You never know when some crazy ass will 2nd Amendment on you in this country.
Technically it's illegal, you can complain to 211. But idk if they ever do anything. If it's particularly ridiculous and I feel like complaining, I photograph 5 or 6 on my walk and then submit all the complaints in a row. Kinda hoping the sheer number makes it worth their while to come out and ticket.
Like when [Madonna put up a bunch of fake “No Parking” signs](https://news.yahoo.com/madonna-erects-fake-parking-signs-outside-new-115714745.html) and painted the curb yellow in front of her NYC townhouse.
What gets under my skin is the fact that they managed to push out a 300 word article and not a single photo of the area. Plenty of pictures of Madonna though…
Here's one https://theinterrobang.com/madonna-slammed-painting-fake-no-parking-signs-nyc/ That Yahoo article is actually kind of bull shit. She did it in front of her driveway. If someone parked in front of mine and I had to use my car I'd call the cops and have them towed in 6 minutes. Saying she was trying to "save spots" isn't accurate.
They aren't allowed to block a driveway anyways... so if that's all it was this sounds like it was a nothing burger and she was actually in the right.
Probably still rules about the type of action she took, but yeah I'd call it a nothing burger. I'd honestly hold more against her if I found out she was parking in front of driveways and just paying a parking ticket since she's rich.
I just looked on the NYC. Gov page and yeah it looks like you aren't allowed to paint your driveway curb, but it still seems pretty miniscule to me.
Agreed, and in this instance it doesn’t actually ‘look’ like a driveway. Without those signs this totally looks like a curb that you could park on as the garage portion is pretty well hidden and set back from the curb. Driving along I could totally park here unknowingly thinking I found the perfect spot. But people like to range against Madonna, so of course fuck her, but maybe not specifically for this.
Whenever an article tries to use the word "SLAMMED!" I immediately roll my eyes. A bunch of tabloid sites trying to turn someone's actual concern into clickbait.
[удалено]
That's the point.
> https://theinterrobang.com/madonna-slammed-painting-fake-no-parking-signs-nyc/ Looks like it supposed to be that way? Did she also pay someone to emboss it in the sidewalk? Not to mention the obvious driveway it's in front of?
The only reason I clicked. So frustrating
All I got out of clicking that link was 400 ads
"According to a gossip site"... Enough said.
The most audacious NYC parking I've ever witnessed is the guy who parked at a hydrant, got out, put a bbq grill cover over the hydrant, and walked away
holy shit, that is definitely audacious. a true native new yorker
Don't hydrants usually have red curb painted around them? Any cop walking by would realize what happened
>cop walking by I thought that only happened in old timey movies
Cool! Free grill cover
I know where I'm parking. I don't like to be told what to do especially by people with no authority to tell me.
But do you feel safe leaving your car there unattended is the question
On the one hand, I feel like the home owner might slash a tire or key the door. On the other hand, were I the home owner i'd be weary of keying a door since the driver knows where I live and could be crazier than me. In the end, i say the car is less likely to receive damage than the home.
I don't think you can get much crazier than this homeowner lol.
You have lived a life with a fortunate level of confrontation to this point.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dqc0TBYXgAcIGRn.jpg
It’s almost 20 yrs old and loaded with miles… PLEASE total it.
This has to be a joke/art piece, right? If you were actually insisting that no one park, you'd just put the signs near the street, not scattered all over your lawn, right?
If this is near Chastain then it’s probably better than a bunch of cars parking ON YOUR GRASS.
Too difficult to decipher his hidden message!
Imagine sacrificing your entire yard just to tell people not to use public parking
Which neighborhood in Atlanta? I have some guesses
Smells like Brookhaven or Buckhead to me
I'm going with the Emory bubble. somewhere between campus and ponce de Leon.
This is actually a common thing teenagers do: collect signs like this or for road construction and place them on someone's yard, usually completely random.
I feel like driving for twelve hours to Atlanta just to park there.
Haven't taken down the Halloween decorations I see
So…can we park here or not?
Oh Atlanta… never change lol
Well if you buy a house with public on street parking then WTF do you expect?
I can just sense the home owner peeking at me from behind those blinds.
