I can't fathom how people are so lazy with cars. It's a metal box and armchair that you point at places and it takes you there. How hard is it to turn the key to turn the thing off? OH BUT THEN I HAVE GOT TURN IT ON AGAIN!!

Bin bint hasn't used her drive for months now, because it requires effort to reverse off it, so she just beaches it opposite our main driveway, making us getting out a pain in the arse as we have to be careful not to back in to her car. And then if she has someone visiting, they just park in front of her car. USE YOUR strawberry floating DRIVEWAY

Park on her drive. It's free real estate.

Our neighbors park on the road to rather than on the empty drive. It literally makes no sense.

I like parking my car in my driveway, it feels more secure and I get cheaper insurance. For the sake of a quick reverse drive in, it's not worth being so lazy.

Good point. I bet she’s told her insurer she parks on the drive. If you smash her car up, they might not pay out.

Alright, Mr multi-drives.

Ad's mini parking lot vs. Memento Mori's national park of a garden. Which one would you prefer?

The phone book is still there by the way

Still there.

On Christmas Day morning, a resident(s) in my block carried a tall fridge/freezer downstairs, knocking multiple lumps out of the hallway walls (which had been repaired and decorated just three weeks ago), and dumped it literally right outside the main door (in front of the door buzzer panel and another resident's window). And it has stayed there ever since. No note on it; no reason.

I try to imagine different challenges that some people have and to be understanding... but, no. These people are just selfish cocks. Utter gooseberry fools.

Suppose you should be grateful they didn’t just chuck it out the window.

I wouldn't be surprised . Like anywhere, I guess, most people here are just fine, but a few knobs just cause hassle for others.

I try my best.

The book is still there. As a reminder, she parks beside it and has to step over it every day.

MP bloke's 2nd home sale has fallen through twice now How will he cope? As they've moved in to the house opposite, you can now see straight in to their house through the conservatory (the road is steep and approaches the house from the side, plus they don't close their blinds on those sides as I don't think they realise you can see in even from a car. We've seen him sat there in a Santa hat, and last night intently watching the PM on tv.

Judging by what i've seen recently, i'm beginning to think that Stool Bloke no longer lives in his house.

He turned up at christmas in his car and brought a load of gifts with him for the kids, he's almost never seen in public here anymore, the camper van's permanently gone, and all his crap has been cleared from the garage.

I reckon there's a solid chance that either he is working away for long periods, or Mrs Stool Bloke has kicked him out.

I placed a neatly-printed letter on the main door. That'll show 'em!

Obvs, no-one has seen or heard anything at all. The fact that a couple just moved in on the second floor and the wall damage clearly indicates that the fridge came from the second floor and we know that the other two families living on that level didn't dump the fridge is just a coincidence.

Now I'm going to have to take the note down - noisily harrumphing as I do so - and arrange for the fridge to be collected. HARRUMPH!

Put a card through their door saying their new fridge has been delivered, and left with a neighbour (you). They’ll have to admit they’ve ordered a fridge, thus incriminating themselves for the illegal disposal of the old one.

That's not a bad idea, rinks!

I'm still struggling to believe that two people carried the fridge downstairs and dumped it literally at the door of the main entrance. The door that they and everyone else uses every day. How much of a moron do you have to be to do that? Ah, well. This is life, I guess.

Well, we couldn't identify who had dumped the fridge so we've gotta pay for it to be removed.

And last night someone dumped their rubbish sacks right next to it; yes, right by the main entrance door. The same person? Probably. They're actually enjoying being utter gooseberry-fools.

People are utter gooseberry fools.
