This morning, I had a manicure appt near my home. When I opened the garage door, some idiot was blocking our driveway. This ugly Avalanche truck belongs to a family member of our next door neighbor. My neighbor has like over 10 people living in that house and they have about 6 – 7 cars. I know he has 4 children and a wife. I don’t know how are the rest of the people in that home related to my neighbor.
Our street has other empty spaces for parking and not sure why our neighbor’s family always has to block our driveway. Did we do something to them? Did we ever block their driveway? Or are these people just without manners and courtesy to others? Or are they just assholes?
Since they keep blocking our driveway, we just can’t always reverse straight out of our garage. We would have to turn our car in a slant position in order to get out of the driveway.
Our neighbor has blocked our driveway a lot more this year than in previous years. I told my husband this has got to stop. Nelson doesn’t want confrontation. So instead of talking to our next door neighbor, he wrote a note saying to not block our driveway. But leaving a note alone would not be enough since it is obvious to me that my neighbor is totally inconsiderate. I would have loved to see that ugly Avalanche truck get towed instead of leaving a note. I think under the CA motor vehicle section code 22500, cars are prohibited to park in a private and public driveway unless you are unloading passengers.
By the way, here is the license plate number of this ugly Avalanche truck. So if you see it on the road, give them the finger!
Going to the salon today was supposed to be relaxing for me. But I kept thinking about that ugly Avalanche truck. My birthday is next week and I thought I do something special for myself. So I decided to get a spa manicure which includes a paraffin dip. The paraffin dip is placing your hand into melted, warm paraffin wax. After dipping your hand in paraffin wax, the salon person wraps your hand in plastic with a towel over it.
Having a warm paraffin dip is supposed to hydrate, nourish and rejuvenate your skin as well as relieve muscle aches. I actually felt the heat relaxing my muscles. After having my spa manicure, my hands felt great. Surprisingly I got a $10 discount for this service because the lady felt bad I had to wait long for the paraffin wax to melt. I didn’t mind the wait though. It was nice just having time for myself for once after working and being a full time mom. I was still happy to get a discount though. 🙂 The lady told me (well she said it is bad for business) but since she was nice, she told me I can buy the paraffin kit and supplies at Wal Mart and have this treatment at home. I am actually thinking about buying it but I would have to work on one hand at a time. She told me I can have my husband give me the paraffin dip. I said no way! He might end up burning my hand or have me give him a paraffin dip! 🙂
Back at home, we decided to put on a low emission firelog into our fireplace since it has been a chilly day in my area. It has been raining too. Our cat Smeagol even joined us in the family room.
Your neighbors are total idiots.
If leaving notes is not helping, you guys should just tell them directly about the problem before towing their truck. Make sure you tell them couple times just so they know about the warning!
