    I wouldn’t mind it if they knew how to roll and turn their wheels at the same time so to not trash the driveway

    People around me put cones, trash cans, and even sawhorses to prevent people from doing this.

    I’ll be honest, I have gone two extra driveway spaces to put my tires on someone’s driveway that did this when I needed to turn around. Just out of spite.

    I get not wanting random strangers pulling in all the time, I used to get that all the time due to a U shaped driveway that Google used to direct people was a turn around spot for a missed turn. But it’s not a big deal, and unless I was asleep and my dogs woke me up I wouldn’t care.

    Now, parking on a random driveway while figuring out where you are is weird to me. And also fuck all the cops who used to use my driveway to try and catch people speeding. You were visible from both sides of the road long before your radar can give you a reading. You did nothing but leech tax money.

    I have strong opinions on driveways depending on who you are and why you need it but mostly it’s “you do you booboo”

      Wtf that’s wild. I couldn’t imagine a cop setting up a speed trap in my driveway.

        Lol, I’d call the cops that someone is parked in my driveway and pointing what looks like a gun at passing cars. Let them figure it out. I’m sure I’d be harrassed and targeted afterwards though.

    I let the weeds and grasses grow between the concrete slabs. It’s like dad repellent.

      I don’t even find it particularly threatening if they’re pounding on the door because I’m liable to ignore them. When they open it and enter the threshold though, that’s a problem. That will rouse my 6’6" 330 pound ass into hostility. Thankfully that’s only happened twice.
