War has been declared
« on: 14 December 2008, 16:22:21 »
New neighbour is parking directly opposite my drive, and since it is a narrow alley it is almost impossible to get out of my drive.  I asked him nicely to move his car, and he was a complete ass.  He said that he would park a little farther along the road "if there is space", but that he owned a flat in the nearby building and could park anywhere that he wants.  

As far as I know he can park there, but he doesn't have to, at least not when the rest of the street is empty.  He certainly could have a better attitude to his neighbours.  If his car is still there later tonight I think that it might become an ice sculpture . . .  ;)

I liked the expanding foam/exhaust back box thing that was discussed here the other day....

Would probably start a retaliatory series of events though.... :(

Problem solved for tonight.  He left, so I parked my car where he was.  No point me being 'generous' and using my off street parking if it's hard to get in and out.  Might as well use the street parking that we all have an equal right to.  :P ;D

Keep the ideas coming.  I think the foam thing would probably expose me to criminal damage, but maybe vaseline under the door handle?  Tie something to the front subframe so that he thinks something has fallen off the car?  Pebbles in his hubcaps?  Let the tires down and a hand pump with an Xmas bow on it?  :D

Remember the trick of removal of valve cores from at least two of the tyres.

Firstly, most folks only have one spare wheel...

Also, if you picture the scene, prepared folks connect up an air compressor, reinflate the tyre, then all the air blasts back out when the nozzle is removed due to lack of valve core......

Raises the blood pressure of the owner (apparently......)

Yes, core removal tools are great.  Then you can tape the 4 valve cores to the driver's window.  People generally don't carry core removal tools around with them, so it's a call to the AA/RAC, and usually a 4hr wait for them to show up.  :P ;D ;D

You can also let down one tire and pack around the lug bolts with peanut butter or various unpleasant substances.

If you really want to wind someone up turn their wiper blades over.  It usually scratches the windscreen when they turn them on.  Then they have to look at the scratches forever unless they replace the windscreen.

Jack the car up and put fish boxes under each  axle, drop the car. and when he goes to take off the wheels will turn... but he wont be going anywhere  ;D ;D

if he gets real nasty, then you have the following options:

1: dog sh1t under the door handles
2: axle grease the wiper blades
3: kipper on the manifold
4: relieve your bladder into his petrol tank

 ::) ::)

we had that here a couple of times, average sized estate road, but with half of it taken up, backing a megga out can be a bit tight.

Few years ago, father tunnie was backing out, and genuinely accidently tapped the Ford Fiesta that was in the road, we got out, and there was a rather large dent in it.

Turns out we wrote it off, never had a problem since!  ;D

That could very well happen.  I'm trying to be careful, but I have to go up on both pavements to get out of the drive, and when it drops off the pavement it goes 6" before you can stop it.

whilst action like this does go some way to vent stress, you have to remember that winning the war is the objective, along the way a few small battle will be lost.....

If your car is on the drive/garage and you access is obstructed then you have the law on your side, some pictures and a call to the local cop shop normally has things sorted out 'tout suite'

However if you are not on the drive then he is able to block the drive and not incurr the wrath of the law.....

Yeah, that's why I'm looking for ideas.  I may just get a bunch of cheap cars with tax on and fill up the street.  8-)
