Quoted: Tell her to park in front of her own house to keep people from doing; then put a freshly painted retired real fire hydrant that you bought off eBay next to her car and call the police about a car parked illegally out front. View Quote Harpo Fireplug |

Came home from the store with my daughter in the car. Cone is out there... She said "Run it over dad!"
So I did. Dads never want to disappoint their daughters. Neighbor comes running out! "OMG! YOU RAN OVER MY CONE" (which btw says "City of Xxxxxxx" on it. I said "Oh that was yours? I thought the city put it up... my bad" She moved it. for now. |

Stick a pole in the cone with a flag that says Park Here - Free Cookies! Inquire within --->

Keep replacing the cones with random, totally unusual objects. Like Garden Gnomes or something

Call cops on her for harassment.
I bet if she had a house on a public lake with a dock she'd claim she owned the water. |

Gather good video clips of her irate interactions with parkers, dub some original audio and become a tiktok demigod!

Just wait till she finds out the airplanes fly over her house too.

Nearly everybody in the thread has been misspelling "traffic delineator".

Quoted: She is an absolute RIOT. She yells at whoever parks in front of her home to move her car. She has called the local PD many times and they basically told her each and every time "Knock it off! it's a public street" She moved in during Covid so our local community pool was closed. She has never lived the parking disaster when the pool is open during the summer. She came banging on my door "WHERE DID ALL THESE CARS COME FROM?" I gave the Miagi answer "Detroit" Her frustration was evident... I told her "THATS RIGHT! You moved in during the covid mess... yeah parking in the summer is terrible because of the pool down the street" You can see the anger building up. She now stands outside on the weekends when people try to park yelling at the visitors "YOU CANT PARK HERE!!" Most park elsewhere but some will engage in an argument... It's fun. I'll try to get some footage. So what is my question for you? Today, she has found a traffic cone and put it in front of her home on the street to stop people from parking. Lets get some suggestions on what to do. move it? Call the PD and let them deal with it? MYOB? (personally, I dont give a shit. I just find this all entertaining) View Quote If she was polite to me I'd ignore the crazy. If she was yelling at me and being a bitch I'd move it and park there while making sure I had cameras to record what she did. |

Quoted: Almost as bad as the mean old woman that lived on my street when I was a kid.... View Quote We had a classic one of those when I was a kid. That was the one house that every kid knew to avoid on Halloween. (The Marxist professor's house across the street from her place always had THE BEST candy.) The woman had a sign on her front door explaining what a bad person a particular local attorney was. He was actually a decent fellow. I grew up with his kids. The weirdest connection I had with him was that he had represented my stepfather's ex-wife in their terrible divorce that happened in 1965. My stepfather got completely shafted. But after he married my mom in 1967, he learned that she had a church friendship with the lawyer and his wife. They ended up being frequent guests at our house for Bridge or poker games. Weird times. One day the crazy woman came out and yelled at me and a neighborhood friend for riding our bicycles around in the street. We were 10 or 11 years old. She told us "Go back to the slum, you slum bums!" This happened in La Jolla, which is not a slum. "Mean old women in my neighborhood" should be a candidate for its own forum. |

January 2019 my elderly father was out of town for a few weeks and I had to shovel out his driveway every couple of days to keep it manageable. We had just gotten a decent storm and I had to go shovel 6-8" at his place.
I get there and the neighbor across the street had idiot friends over and parked directly in front of his driveway with no other cars on the street. I saw them partying in the apartment with their window open and asked them nicely to please move it. Got told to fuck off. I called the cops and they came and ticketed it. After they left I cleaned out the whole driveway and sidewalk by hand since he didnt have a snowblower. Theres a 2010-something Honda Accord under there. They watched me do this from across the street and didnt say or do a thing. Someone from the area drove by and put a few pics up on the local community fb page. Threw my back out for 2 days from this, but it was worth it. Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

I think the "KKK cone" is my favorite suggestion so far. At least until someone really takes exception and shoots her house up like the "it smells like fish in here" scene from the movie Dirty Works.
Yeah, on second thought, maybe don't do that. |

Don't give a shit if people park in front of my house, with the exception of blocking my mailbox. The mailman won't deliver if the mailbox is blocked, and it's kind of a dick move to block it in the first place.
Luckily there is a city ordinance that says that mailboxes must have 8 feet of clearance on both sides during certain hours of certain days. Most people give me a dumbfounded look and move without issue. |

Quoted: @drfrige MYOB. I dealt with the exact same thing at my last house. Crazy lady next door would flip out if anyone parked in "her" spot on the street. She'd get the whole damn neighborhood riled up if someone was parked there. These people will do unnatural things to try and combat people parking in that spot and they will NEVER give up! They will constantly escalate the issue to ridiculous levels. They'll straight up damage the vehicles. They don't give a shit. They'll pay thousands of dollars to get additional vehicles to save the spots and more out of spite. They'll start crying to everyone and their mother, and the next thing you know you'll have code enforcement hassling you because the mayor is sick of her shit and wants you to calm her down yourself. Cops can't be bothered and you'll end up in court trying to fight them yourself. MYOB!!!! View Quote Fuck that pacifist shit! Go scorched Earth OP!! |

Quoted: Please keep her there in your state. We have more than enough here from there already. View Quote With the massive influx of transplants, somebody felt they had to put up billboards stating Nashville rules. One of them is "don't ask Nashville to change for you". They were over a decade late in getting that one up. It's occasionally amusing when they get splattered with figurative shit, from a shitstorm of their own creation. Mayor 'sidewalks and bike lanes everywhere' (a transplant originally from California) got blindsided by the discovery of why nobody had ever pushed for developing some city owned vacant land, after crews clearing the land discovered a large area of graves that had become overgrown long ago, and the investigation determined that they were slaves that had been worked to death by the occupying Union Army that used them to build the massive stone fort at the top of the hill next to where the slaves were buried. (Educational plaques at the fort mention the approximate number of slaves who died during construction, but do not state exactly where they are buried, though it's not too hard to figure out, when you consider that they made the slaves sleep out in the open next to the fort, fed them next to the fort, etc.) It's like their whole life turns into something that can be summed up as - "We don't do that." -- "Why not? Seems like a reasonable thing to do." - "Because it's an ignorant thing to do, and you will likely regret it." -- "Fuck you, you backwards hick, you are just too dumb to see how blatantly obvious it is that this is a great idea. No wonder there are so many stupid things around here that need to be fixed, when you are happy to wallow in your own ignorance." (turns to walk away, and then faceplants into a steaming pile of shit) |

"Free parking" (or similar) sign on a stick like has been mentioned, but with a twist.
Before placing the sign into the top of the cone, tie a rubber snake to the bottom of the stick. For extra credit, add a ball of tape halfway down the stick so she has to yank it free. |

Cite municipalty ordinance BR-549 stating that all cones, traffic, safety must be a minimum of 28 inches tall, of approved color and weigh a minimum of 87 ounces.
The call the PoPo on HER! |

Maybe put the cone on an RC car and move it around while rolling video.

Quoted: Its been like that for generations. The only ones who bitched about it were the outsiders, new comers and college students with a 'who the fuck do they think they are?' attitude. Don't want your car fucked with? Respect the locals and their traditions. Still don't like it? Move the fuck back to upstate NY, CT or back home with your parents in the midwest. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Back when I lived in Philly, there was usually at least one shooting per year over parking spots cleared out after snow storms. Usually more. Don't mess with a Philadelphians lawn chair. Quoted: 1) Liberally cover top of cone with anti- seize 2) Tip cone over into her yard 3) Laugh when she fixes cone and looks like she gave the Tinman a handjob. Coat it with this stuff... https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/24334/71wwfl45_fL__AC_SL1259__jpg-2443749.JPG Shit is nasty and sticks to stuff like fly paper only worse. I had to deal with this same shit when I lived in Boston. Nobody owns the f'ing street, but people think it is theirs when they shovel out a spot. I have neighbors where I live in MI that block anyone from parking in front of their house on a grass-covered city-owned right of way next to the street (no curbs installed) with various fiberglass reflector poles. Its been like that for generations. The only ones who bitched about it were the outsiders, new comers and college students with a 'who the fuck do they think they are?' attitude. Don't want your car fucked with? Respect the locals and their traditions. Still don't like it? Move the fuck back to upstate NY, CT or back home with your parents in the midwest. Moving a cone/chair/cinder block from a snow shoveled spot in front of a house in StL City will net the same result as in Pittsburgh, or Boston... I'm not saying I think it's legal or right, but it's a thing and best not to test. I've seen cinder blocks chucked through car windows and driving without a window in winter probably sucks. Unless you're a Jeep person, then it's about normal. |

I used to have that problem, bought an extra car and parked it in front of my house, rotate it with another vehicle 2x a week

Put c9ne on her porch. Be sure to apply a liberal coating of anti-sieze to wherever she might try to grab the cone. Repeat as necessary.
A note on the cone saying something like "you're not my boss", or you don't control who parks on public streets..feel free to ask the police". |

Get her subscriptions to ,multiple adult magazines
wait for mailman to show up Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee |

Since cone is marked, just take it and drop it off at street dept it belongs to, or at a construction sight and bonus points if there is someone there for you to tell where you found it.
Then if she gets another with same markings, start asking questions of street dept as to where cones are disappearing from. I’m sure they would be happy to follow up on a repetitive cone thief if needed. |

Make a sign in front of your yard: "For sale: cheap parking tickets to use spot across the street".
|

1) set up camera
2) move cone a few feet c) install rubber snake under cone 4) anti-sieze on top of cone 12) post video here. |

It is my understanding that placing an obstacle in a right of way is a crime.
