• “Had to take my dad to the hospital and who is in the way? Oh the piece of garbage human with a truck that lives nearby. It’s been HOURS. I had to readjust about 16 times to get out of our garage and then couldn’t get back in.”

  This is the truck in question. 

  Look how narrow these little driveways are. I understand if you can't park a behemoth truck in a small garage, but that doesn't mean you're entitled to block, hmm, let's count, 6+ other tenants' driveways.

  Perhaps this truck dude believed the world only existed for him, but this daughter was not going to let that stand for long. Not if she could help it. 

• “I am pregnant and have elderly parents. We have confronted him at least 10 times and he still parks like this for hours often. He’s also an aggressive person. His garage is full of [stuff], so he can’t park his vehicle in it and parks it on the street but then does this when he’s lazy.”

• “Today is the final straw and I will be complaining to our strata and documenting every time going forward / calling for a tow. It’s strata property so I have to go through them to get a tow. I also don’t live here it’s my parent’s place and they are at the hospital.”

  What is a 'strata'? Some kind of management company?

  I don't recommend it, but in a building I lived in some years ago, there was a guy like this who used to block the entrance completely. Someone (who was not me) took a shop jack, jacked up his car, and rolled it out into the street for the police to impound. As I said, it wasn't me, but I did find it very satisfying.

  Strata is similar to HOA

  Have him towed

  Many years ago before we purchased the land our trailer was on, we had someone drive onto "our" lawn and pass out (new years day, I noticed him around 1am before I went to bed). Didn't hit anything, just pulled right next to our vehicles on our driveway, just in the grass. Dad called the cops, cops called the paramedics, he went off in an ambulance, and since we didn't own the land, we couldn't have the vehicle towed, that call had to be made by the landlord. Dad was making a fuss about it being a liability now and if anything happened with it, we'd be responsible.

  As much as "having it towed" sounds easy, sometimes it's not.

  Here's the deal. The fire dept will handle it. They'll haul it out if the way. If you need an ambulance and it's in their way they won't hesitate

  Take pictures every time he does this and send them to your apartment management. I had a neighbor who blocked our driveway pulling stunts like this and after a few complaints they had them towed. The local towing company with this insane lady running the front desk, they learned their lesson really fast!

  Bruh that would have me seething. I’d 100 percent start documenting it with pics and timestamps and either go through the city or an HOA if you have one, because that’s not just mildly infuriating, that is straight up unsafe.

  “Get them towed” only works if you live in an apartment complex where residents are allowed to. The apartment I’ve lived in does not allow you to do that. You report to them, and they may or may not do something about it.

  I'm petty enough to take documentation and get them ticketed. They're impeding necessary emergency exits. That's illegal.
