I sympathize with the guy. The house I used to live in, there was a guy who had a tow truck and he would park it in front of our house all the time. He would have cars attached to it and they'd be leaking oil, etc. It was just awful. The annoying part of it was that this guy lived way the hell on the other end of the street. I lived pretty much right near the end of the street and he lived right at the opening. I guess he didn't want that monstrosity to sit in front of his house. We had him ticketed a number of times, and he would stop for a bit, but then he'd do it again after awhile.
The other irritating thing about people parking in front of your house, at least for us, was that some of them have a tendency to take that as an opportunity to clean out their cars. We would come home to tons of garbage on the lawn and thrown/shoved into the bushes. Drove us crazy.
We worked really hard to maintain our property and the house, so yes, please feel free to shove your garbage into our bushes or throw your crap over our fence. That's cool with us. It just speaks to the complete lack of consideration people have for others.
***As an aside, if you have a wheelchair/handicap permit, can you just park wherever? There's a side street just before our house that is incredibly narrow. There are no parking signs everywhere, but there's one car that occasionally parks there, but it has a handicap permit. Can they do that or can I call the city and have it ticketed? It sounds bitchy on my part, but because of this car, it backs traffic up endlessly because we have to wait for the oncoming lane to be clear to go around them.
