Some years ago I was renting a place in a fairly swanky cul de sac, I used to park my tow truck out the front of the property overnight as it was a steep drive down to the property and not much turning space . I used to roll out of the Cul de sac and around the corner before starting it to be considerate at night re the noise, it was a fairly new and tidy truck but the neighbours objected as it apparently looked ugly
Nobody approached me directly they snuck off to the council and had a cry ( Gutless Kunts )
The council compliance bloke came to visit and told me I could only park it there for 2 hrs at a time . I didn't argue I just clarified that if the vehicle was parked for 2 hrs and then moved away I could then return for another 2 Hrs ? . He said technically yes that's correct but you could park it off the road and out of sight, I said correct and they could have approached me directly and I probably would have done that. I said I don't pick fights but if they wanna war bring it
So naturally during the day I would park the truck down the drive but about 8.00 PM I would park it in the street and religiously go out at 1 hr and 55 mins start it up drive to the end of the road turn around and park up again and do this every 1hr and 55 mins all through the night ( in between call outs ) .
I did that every other night for a fortnight until the neighbourhood mafia sent over their contingent to ask me to stop. I pointed out it was them who drew first blood and that I was only doing what the requested via the council . I said I would consider going back to the original arrangement of parking it up overnight in the road but the council said I couldn't do that . I suggested that I would need some reassurance from their council mates that if I went back to parking overnight that I would not be ticketed .
Normal service was resumed , I went about my business and they continued to be arseoles to another neighbour about him washing his boat in the street
but left me alone
