There were no cars parked in front my neighbour's house, yet every day he parked in front of my house. In the exact same spot so nothing would thaw.

Finally, after chipping ice away every day and spending a tonne of money on sidewalk salt this year, I went and asked if he'd mind parking in front of his own house as I am having a hell of a time with the ice from his car's shadow. His roommate replied "we know - that's why we park it there."

To his credit, he moved it for me and didn't make a big deal about it. But still - sitting there watching me through your front window while I chipped ice daily and salted it like crazy... kind of an ass move.

Black-out the front windows of his house.

EDIT: Holy crap I'm vengeful before first coffee!
