Stupid Pet Peeves

My 2 year old daughter absolutely loves a show called Goldie and Bear. It’s a Disney show on Netflix, but they only did two seasons. She watches that **** non stop. I don’t even sit in the same room as her when it’s on, but I can probably recite word for word a few of the episodes.

I just got some new next door neighbors. Instead of parking in front their own house, in their driveway, or heaven forbid in their garage (where cars are supposed to go) they are parking in front of my house.
I hate people parking in front of my house. Like hate, hate it. Since I technically can’t do anything to prevent it, I started leaving my garbage can out at the curb all week (another pet peeve of mine, but the lesser of two evils). Doesn’t phase them. I moved it down to a point where they wouldn’t be able to get their car in the space. They moved it back.
I’m going to throat punch someone.

There is actually a city ordinance here that if you park in front of a house that isn't yours for so long you can get fined or even towed. So like a day, or maybe 2 or 3 if you have guests, is ok but constantly it gets reported and you get ticketed. Consequently we don't have many people who do that. And of me neighbors most of them will let you know if they need to or apologize.
It is odd how much it bothers people to have someone park in front of their house. But I guess I have just lived downtown long enough that its just normal to me. You park where you can. I guess it would be odd if they had a spot in front of their own house and always parked in front of yours.
Do you want to park in front of your house? Or you just hate seeing their car?

We built our house last year. Across the street, there's a house that rents out their basement. Their first tenant owned a big *** cruiser van from the early 90s and it looked crazy white trash and was an eye sore. They parked in front of our house for the first year. Now, they have a highway patrol officer that parks his big *** truck in front of our house. He parks it facing the wrong direction and 10 feet from a crosswalk (he breaks 4 laws every time he does it.) The ******* always comes home late and honks the horn when he locks it and it makes my dogs go wild. If he's not doing that, he's blasting music or his truck is just loud af.
I told my gf as soon as I see him, I'm calling his *** out. If you write traffic tickets for a living, you better follow simple traffic rules. ****ing assholes.

People who drive on the freeway in the merge lane and aren't exiting any time soon. Usually, it's the dumb, oblivious person that just shouldn't drive in general. You know, like the person that stops at a stop sign well before you and freezes up because they're timid, careless and short circuit so they wait for you to go.
On a motorcycle, this person is the damn worst. They usually drive a minivan, have 5 kids, and no job. You can find them in line at any of the soda/pop shops (in the drive through of course because heaven forbid they actually walk.)
I hate that person.

Call the cops. Leave a note on the windshield. Knock on his door. Problem solved.

Can your wife park her car there instead?
Or maybe park your car in front of their house?

Dude it's general LA area. Everyone has a pickup 2 low-riders, 3 broken down cars, 2 commuters that are half primer colored and one Mercedes. An no one can use their garage as a garage.
But I've been told they they instituted that about a decade ago and there hasn't really been any problems since. It was aimed primarily at broken down and non-registered cars and the fact that to afford a house here there are often 3 generations or extended families, with their requisite cars. My neighbor is a household like that and they have no fewer than 10 vehicles. They have the end house in a cul-de-sac so they have more street space than most but they are constantly shuffling cars in their driveway and on the street.
