This one lady on our block has a curb cut thats big enough for a Fit and not much else, with a double gated fence leading to her yard. It isn't wide enough for a modern car, and everyone knows she doesn't have a car, but she will call the cops and have your car towed if you park there.
Ha - that's an NYC archetype very close to the crazy lady who comes out and yells at you if you use her garbage can to throw a little something away, like a carton of OJ or a empty gum package. I always keep walking, staring back in disbelief, even though I want to march back and rip the offensive OJ carton out of their hands. I can never bring myself to do it b/c i figure that person's life is clearly miserable enough.
