The best part of our field trip would be the opportunity to overhear his/her call to the local police:
911: What is your emergency?
OP: Officer, I need immediate assistance. There are cars parked on the public street in front of my house. HELP!
911: Click...

What a spiteful person. You must lead a sad life.

Do you even have a remote clue as to how ridiculous you sound?

It's public property. Stop me if I'm going too fast for you.

Because they expect people to know the difference between public property and private property? Yeah, man, those towns are low friggin class.

Seriously, dude, show me a deed for the space in front of your house or S.T.F.U.

In my community it's considered good manners to let the public use the public streets instead of claiming everything is owned by someone. I think it's kindergarten where sharing is typically first taught, you might want to look into it.

I like my neighbors, they like me, if they want to park in front of my house they certainly have every right to because, well, we're a good community that actually knows the Latin root of the word, communis. Shared. General. Universal.

No, it's called not sweating the small stuff (and if you don't know that somebody parking in front of your house IS "small stuff", then you have lost perspective), and it's also called having a sense of humor.

Lighten up, and you will live longer.

Obviously he doesn't.
He must lead a very sad life if this is the type of thing that he spends his days fussing about.

Used to be a guy in DC who'd get back at nonresidents parking in 'his' spot by sprinkling bird seed all over their car.

Need a new term for poster like this that isn't bright enough to even be a troll.
