I do not want to escalate this, especially because the house will be on the market starting tomorrow. The neighbors have not parked on my driveway again since they removed it earlier this week, so that's a plus. --- |

| IdiotMachine 01/21/20 7:48:22 PM #53 | So I called the non emergency police number and asked for advice. They told me they can come now and talk to the neighbor for me. I said I would rather catch them red handed, and they said whatever I want to do, they'll be there. I told them I'll text her an ultimatum, that I will call the police or tow the car if she parks in my driveway tomorrow. They said that's fine, and I told them thank you, and to expect a call from me again tomorrow evening lol. --- |

Tell her that she's trespassing and that the city that you're living in will likely fine her for doing it and that you can sue her for it too. Don't tow her car yet. I legitimately don't know why someone would do that, is she mentally ill or something?That whole family is weird. I have a fence around the backyard, and their daughter likes to climb over the fence and play in my yard, or literally open my fence and enter my backyard. I've asked them to stop multiple times, and they haven't. --- |

| Topic | Neighbor keeps parking IN my driveway. What do? |
| IdiotMachine 01/21/20 7:08:26 PM #19 | So what do you think is the better option here when I catch her red handed tomorrow (because I fully intend to come home earlier than normal): 1) Knock on their door and tell her (or her family member) to move the car, 2) Call the police and meet the police at my house then have the police deal with it, or 3) Just call the tow truck company and just have it towed? Option (2) seems the most non-confrontational with police backup, but has the risk of her moving the vehicle out before the police and I get there. --- |

Also, set her car on fire.She doesn't want to street park. The house is in the suburbs, and her family's driveway is pretty small. They have 4 cars, so she just parks in my driveway instead of on the street. Veggeta_MAX posted... Ehhh whats wrong with her parking there if you ain't there?It's my property. I don't want her to park there. --- |

| Topic | Neighbor keeps parking IN my driveway. What do? |
| IdiotMachine 01/21/20 6:59:46 PM #1 | I saw her car parked in my driveway; I confronted her about it in person and asked her to stop. She "stopped". A few weeks later, I saw her parked in my driveway again; I texted her to stop, again. This time, I installed a camera. Upon reviewing the footage, she parks there almost every day when I am not home. After about a week, I texted her that I have cameras installed, and that I saw that she was parking on my driveway when I'm not home, and that she needs to stop. She stopped... then I went on vacation, and stayed away from the house for two weeks... guess what; she parked there essentially for two straight weeks. How do I end this "peacefully"? I don't want to call the police, nor have to tow her car, but I feel like there's no other option. --- |

| Topic | Dealer thinks I bought the car from them... Getting free inspection. What do? |
| IdiotMachine 01/17/20 1:19:11 PM #1 | I bought a brand new car about 6 months ago. I obviously shopped around and the dealer that was 3 hours away had the cheapest price, so bought it there. For my state inspection, I brought it to the closest dealer to my house, because I also wanted them to take a look at something (window problems). During the pre-authorization stage, the service advisor said that because I bought the car from them, they will waive the inspection fee. I asked for clarification. They said they offer their customers lifetime free state inspections. ..........should I tell them it's a mistake? Or just ride this out for however many years it'll take them to correct it? --- |

| Topic | Anyone ever drive a tesla? |
| IdiotMachine 01/12/20 1:12:42 PM #4 | A coworker has a Tesla Model 3 and it's "okay". The big ass screen in the middle is very distracting, and everything is done through that. So if you want to change your air vents (even the directional pattern), you have to go through pages of settings to do it. In addition, the car didn't feel very "polished", like an experienced brand. I question their longevity, and the ability to fix the car off-dealer locations. Now the good bits: acceleration is no joke; It is FUN. Self driving feature is incredible, but feels like a beta and feels very scary. --- |

But I'm pretty young still so maybe it's not that big a deal for older folk.We're both 28 now, turning 29 this year. She wanted to have a baby before 30, so I guess this is the year.

We didn't eat out a ton either; just focused on saving money for traveling. But I would definitely advise spreading these out over a few years and not going in just one year. --- |
| Topic | We spent a ridiculous amount of money traveling last year. /Regret |
| IdiotMachine 01/12/20 12:47:17 PM #1 | Traveled Europe for two weeks (Paris, London, and Berlin), Japan for three weeks, Korea for one week, Greece for three weeks, Vegas/canyons (Bryce, Grand, etc.) for one week, and Italy for three weeks... I would not advise this type of travelling to anyone. I regret going to so many places in so little time: *It's a lot of money to spend (we saved up for two years to do this, and the idea was to go all out and travel the world before we have a baby; now, we're "broke"), *It affects your performance at work (I got rated as a below average employee during my performance review due to frequent use of vacation hours and not being around to support emergent issues), and *All the places "blur" together because it was too many places in too short of a time. It doesn't have the grandeur of traveling, but felt more like "great, another plane to catch", or "great, another beautiful view". /firstworldproblems --- |
