If you aren't going anywhere, just let the half-blocked driveway slide. If you actually need to go somewhere, walk over and kindly ask for the owner of the car to move it. If you have any problems (such as noise while your kids are trying to sleep), walk over and see if they can tone it down a bit.

Easy payback.

Water your lawn. Make sure the sprinkler sprays all over the truck. Said truck owner will be getting wet (Or vandalizing your property, set up a camera!) to get into his truck.

stop being a dick. you do not own the street. only thing you can bitch about is them blocking the driveway. So be a man and go next door and say something about it.

Exactly.

Why are these things so difficult to understand?

you sound like a lame ass. I would hate to have a neighbor like you.

If someone is partially blocking your drive, just knock and ask that it be moved. if you don't need to leave the house for the rest of the night, or are not expecting company, then who cares.

Im going to share with you a story about a party my nieghbors had one day, I hope you can learn from this. I came home this afternoon after picking up my copy of gta and I smelled something funny from my neighbors house. I went over there and the door was unlocked so I went right in. Sure enough there was my neighbor and two of his friends smoking to their hearts content. I told them they had two options, one- they could put the joints out or two- I would put the joints out for them. My neighbor had run ins with me before so he knew I meant business so he threw his joint down and told me to leave. I said you made a wise choice but I'm still calling the cops and then I turned to leave. My neighbor then got up off the couch got behind me and said a few cuss words and told me to mind my business. Well that did it. I turned around, took off my shades, looked him straight in the eye and said "lets get high". I then front kicked him a good 8 feet in the air. Then his other friend came at me with the bong, I grabbed his arm, snapped it and then hit him in the stomach with the bong. His other friend ran into the kitchen so I went after him. He was in the corner crying so I said "this is your brain" and then I grabbed a frying pan and said "this is your brain on drugs" and then I hit him in the head as hard as I could with the frying pan. After that I called the cops and they came over and arrested my neighbor and his friends. As I was leaving the sarge shouted out to me thanks. I turned around, took off my shades, looked him straight in the eye and said " well you know sarge, perhaps if we build a freaking dunkin doughnuts on this street it would give you guys a excuse to ride up here once or twice a week and keep the crime down. I then threw my shades on the ground to let him know I meant business. I feel pretty good about what I did for my neighborhood today.

Break out the tower speakers, place them outside and point them toward your neighbor's house, max out the volume, pop some AC/DC in the CD player and push play.

Im not an A-hole neighbor.. I was invited but I have small kids and no baby sitter nor do I like the fellow. Its just kind of rude he could have atleast said hey we are turning the road into a oneway and parking 15 cars right around your house or something. Its a bad way to start off IMHO.

You don't like him already?

Nope.. you ARE an asshole, which also makes you an asshole neighbor.

Do you even have to go anywhere?

I'll tell you what, there is an epidemic of passive-aggressive behavior going around. What is so frightening about actually speaking to someone face-to-face? How could asking someone to move their car NOT be your first thought, long before "should I call the cops or get them towed away or something"?
