Today, for about the fifth time, my neighbors parked blocking my driveway. After parking across the street I stuck a note on their windshield reading “Nice park job asshole“, only to find out that their nephew just passed away and everyone was gathering to go to the viewing. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was parking my car outside of my apartment, but the big truck next to the spot went over the line. I squeezed in anyway. Later, I discovered the truck had left and someone keyed my car. They left a note saying, "Good parking job, asshole." FML
Today, my new neighbors moved in across the street. Also today, they began to park at the end of my driveway. Not used to a car being there, I backed out and promptly hit it. Welcome to the neighborhood. FML
Today, I came outside to leave for work. To my shock and horror my car was gone. My asshole neighbor, who has parked in my spot multiple times decided to let her noisy guests park in my parking spot, so I parked in hers. She had my car towed. FML
Today, I met my new neighbors when they backed into my parked car. FML
Today, as I was leaving for work, I discovered my neighbor had just passed away. I found out when I came across his body lying in my front yard. FML
Today, after months of using the empty driveway across the street from my house, a note was placed under my windshield wiper. It read, "Please stop parking in my driveway. P.S. You’re hot. Are you single?" FML
Today, I found out my neighbor ordered parking tickets for everyone on the block. My car was 4 inches into his driveway, but not obstructing his exit in any way. That didn't stop him from calling in, on a Sunday, at 8 AM, an 88 dollar ticket. He also left a note "Your parking sucks, love, Greg." FML
Today, I hit a parked car which was sticking out in the road and practically unavoidable. I left a note on the windshield saying, "You deserved to get hit - you park like an asshole." Later I realized that the paper I tore to write on was the back of my bank statement, name and address included. FML
Today, I came home to find a car parked in my assigned space. Pissed off, I left a note on the car's windshield saying, "Hey Assface, thanks for parking in my spot. I spat on your door handle." It turns out it was my girlfriend's parent's car. They took us out to dinner. FML
Today, as I left the supermarket, I found someone had hit my car in the parking lot. There was a note tucked under the wipers. Insurance details? Nope. It just said "Sorry dude. I fucked up. Good luck with the car." Great. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That really sucks. However, they really still shouldn't have blocked your drive way. They should've been the one to park in the street or something. Alas, a politer note would probably have conveyed that better.

That is an immature way to respond. However, that is annoying and illegal on their part. A nicer note might have been a better solution, but I understand how frustrating that can be.

FYL OP, they shouldn't have been parking there. How were you supposed to know some kid had died?

Still doesn't mean they have to park in front of your driveway. A death in their family shouldn't prevent their neighbours from leaving the house.

I say YDI, not because of anything involving the nephew, but because if you have a problem with a habit a neighbor is having, you don't just leave a note and walk away feeling 'that'll teach them.' Besides they park bad and then retaliated by saying 'Oh yeah? Well my nephew just died.' is the only way I see the dead nephew in consequence. I hope they didn't do that.

Isn't it a law that you cannot block a person's driveway?

It's not your fault. They shouldn't be parking in don't of your drive way. I mean come on people think a little

While the note was a little unnecessary, their family members shouldn't have blocked your driveway.

It's illegal to block someone's driveway. It's sad but the world doesn't stop.

The YDIs on this annoy me. You had no way of knowing and to be honest, the fact that their nephew died does not excuse shitty parking. Especially if they've done so in the past!

They still shouldn't block you, your life sucks

Doesn’t give them the right to block your drive way
