Was going to put this in the WPMO thread but it actually made me laugh so put it here instead...

My wife went out to the mailbox yesterday arvo and finds a 'letter' - I use the term loosely here - from the neighbour.

Bit of background...

We are second from the end of a cul-de-sac, end of the street is just bush, across the road is a reserve so no houses on that side, behind us is some uncleared land that's part of the primary school.

In short, extremely quiet area, never had any neighbour dramas on either side, everyone minds their own business.

Bloke beside us (at end of street) had a workplace accident about 10 yrs ago, I'm guessing he's early to mid 40s, lives by himself, I've given him a hand a few times in his yard with tree branches etc

Never had much to do with him in the 3 years he's been there but never any issues.

He doesn't work at all but mucks around in the garden, drives a later model Monaro CV8, always going in and out, seems to live pretty comfortable

About every 3 weeks, bit of a family tradition, we have a few friends/family in for Sunday lunch, roast on the weber and chill with a few drinks

I park the family car in the cul de sac but on the verge, as driveway is steep-ish and have a few oldies in as well

Others usually park out front of my place or in cul de sac

Last time we did it was 2 weeks ago

Yesterday got this

Not sure whether to be pissed off or amused

This forum is good for neighbourhood help lol

Yeh took a while to work it out, especially the last line

I take it that "Heard ove common sence" should read "Heard of common sense?"

Not sure if he sat and fumed about it for two weeks and finally decided to write something... or that's how long it took to write

If "Arnold" was fully able bodied, would he be able to see your car when reversing? Is he blaming his "injury" and the fact that he can't turn his head to check whats behind him when reversing?

Take, for example, if I resided where Arnold lived, would I have issues with reversing out the driveway and possibly colliding with your car?

Yeah well that's a bit of a mystery because when he told me about his injury it was about a truck that crushed his leg, neck was never mentioned

Seen him walk around with a stick a couple of times over the years, otherwise you'd think nothing wrong with him

He makes out he's either 'advised' or 'abused' (depending on how you interpret his writing) me/us about it before but this is the first mention of it I have ever heard

When parked the wife's car would be more than 10m from closest point of his driveway, actually checked on google maps last night

Plus it's up on the verge

No you would not have issues

If he does then I'd love to see him drive in any sort of traffic, would be entertaining
