Fuck my neighbors.

Some background: We live in a duplex. On our side, we have a tiny backyard, and instead of a driveway, a narrow passage with broken glass on it that goes around the side of the house. On our neighbors' side, they have a real driveway, a bigger backyard, and access to the shed at the back of the property. Practically since we moved in we have both been really pissed off because they have THREE SUVs and they NEVER use their driveway, presumably because they like to keep the gate locked with a padlock and it would be TOO MUCH WORK to unlock and lock the gate every time they move that car. Our house is across the street from a Catholic church that doesn't have its own fucking parking lot, so every time they have mass there are no parking spaces on our block. Also note that we have only one car, and it's a 4-door sedan on the small side.
So this morning, they had the fucking NERVE to leave a note on our windshield asking us not to block their driveway. I can't even believe it. The only reason we started parking in front of their driveway is that, as I said, they never use it. And not only do they never use it, they also never park in front of it even though THEY KNOW they're not going to use it. Instead, they take up three perfectly good parking spots on our short and crowded street. AND they put a sign up on the gate when they moved in that says "Please, NO PARKING. Thank you!" so nobody else will park there either.
Boyfriend says he's just going to ignore them. I'm thinking about leaving them a note pointing out that they have three cars and never put any of them in the driveway, while we have just one car and would gladly park it off-street, except that we don't HAVE a driveway like they do. I'm so filled with rage right now, because since we moved in I've been stressed about finding parking when the Catholic church is open, and here they are taking up FOUR STREET PARKING SPACES and they have the nerve to ask us not to park our one car in the space that they DELIBERATELY MAKE EMPTY so they can never use it but they have it there JUST IN CASE they ever feel like using it.
