Fences Make Good Neighbors

....and I wish I had a bigger fence.
My neighbors drive me nuts. They are in no way in league with Kether's neighbor's, but still annoying. So we share a driveway, which has always been a headache. Basically we never park in the driveway because we would have to pull over onto our walkway essentially blocking the walk up the house. However, we do occassionally pull in to unload kids, groceries, supplies, etc. Well our neighbors have these huge trucks, monster trucks. They take up the majority of the driveway, including our part. We have let it slide. I should also mention that I think 5 people live their, but there are at least 7 vehicles + a trailor for an ATV (which is also parked in the alleyway between our houses). So today I come home and I can barely walk up my path and get up my stairs b/c they have 2 vehicles parked there. Good grief people...show a little respect.
Well I decided to be passive/aggressive and turn off my porch light later in the evening when I realized they were using the light to continue working on their crap.
You know, if they were pleasant, maybe I would be a little more forgiving, but they have never really been helpful at all.
Last year they changed their tires and threw them out on garbage night in front of our house. The city wouldn't pick them up right away. I could have potentially been fined for trying to throw them out. And last winter when I was very pregnant with Danny, not once did they offer to shovel my sidewalk. Ethan works evenings and if it snowed in the afternoon or at night I had to shovel. They would be out there at the same time as me and just do their property.
I'm just so sick of this me,me, me mentality.

We have neighbors in our neighborhood who park their horse trailer at the end of our driveway and it makes backing out a challenge. This thing is like 40 ft long!
