This literally happened to me yesterday! I parked on a residential street by my office to eat a sandwich and no less than five minutes go by before the guy in the house across from my car walks up to my window. I put my window down, the guy asks "You need anything?" in an aggressive tone so I tell him "No, I'm parked." Guy then said "Oh, okay" and walked away. So weird.

All of these stories are bold because homeowners don't own the street.

OP is fake news.
It seems like a lot of people in less urban areas aren't aware of this fact.

I imagine there will be people defending the neighborhood assholes much like they defended the passive aggressive shitheads in the wind chime thread.
This sounds right. Old people can be fucking nosy as hell. It makes me mad to read this. Dude is just trying to have one hour out of the workday to get some peace of mind and these assholes want to ruin it.
Remember the Indian grandfather who was paralyzed by cops when he was just taking a walk? That was because nosy neighbors saw him walking everyday and were suspicious.

My neighbor from across the street would have called the cops on this guy within two days. They're pieces of shit and has called the cops on practically everyone within the victinty for the dumbest things like parking on their side of the street, which had a shaded tree like the one in the story.
Glad that the old lady who owns the house and trees turned out to be so sweet but fuck nosey cowardly neighbors.

True, but did you have to unbox that in here? This is a feel good story about a dude and his sammich and a sweet old lady.

To be fair my first instinct when I saw a suburban old couple and nosy neighbors were hassling a man was that the man was black.
as someone born in Buffalo, nothing at all about this story surprises me.
Upstate NY can be as crazy as Florida sometimes, trust me, I've lived in both.
Then again this story doesn't involve sub man making a fool of himself so maybe this isn't the best comparison
Yes y'all we needed to make this fun little story and make it political. Don't we have enough other threads for that?

I once worked with a woman whose husband had this happen while he was in the car. Neighbors called the cops because he was sitting in the car, in front of the house two houses away.
He was parked in front of his own house, and was doing paperwork.

Damn, $9 for that sub! Unless maybe he's just getting the 6 inch for 5.50. Their hot sub menu looks awesome though, that's the part I'd be hitting up.

Hey, what do you want to bet they'll rename the Turkey and Ham "The Pawlowski" eventually?

He gets the same sub every Thursday from the same place and goes down a few streets to park in the same spot in a residential neighborhood.
This makes me moist

He wasn't alone.
What is this fool, sandwich crazy?
Rest
All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
If the person who does own the house does care then whatever. Homeowners don't own the street, don't own the gutter, don't own the curb and don't own the sidewalk. Those are public property.
And have the cops given him a citation yet for calling them for no reason?

Bored, elderly, and nosy? Not surprising. I'm currently living on a Cul de Sac and and an elderly neighbor recently accosted my gf because she parked at the very top of the circle. Apparently this neighbor believes fully half the cul de sac belongs to her, and will angrily attempt to run off anyone who dares to park on a public street.
damn i miss sub shops, california needs to get their shit together.
I never bothered to ask him or the cops. It's not my business.
While I think the neighbors are crazy I don't understand people like this guy. I don't get eating in your car when there are other options. Did the place not have seats? Maybe try finding a park? I work next to an in n out and people are always eating in their car in a shitty ass parking lot.

I wouldn't look down on the couple as 'nosy.' If some guy is parking on a residential street for a bit every day for months and doesn't even get out of his car I'd be a little less comfortable than I was before he started doing it (granted circumstances of his parking there were unknown). And if the couple was concerned about this man, I mean calling the cops is safer than approaching him. Boxing him in is not though aha.
They went about it terribly, I assume it was building up in their minds for a long time. The husband intrepidly telling his wife "This is the day honey, I'm gonna go out there and tell him to beat it!" "No, let's box him in like we planned!" Funny story, but I'm not exactly rooting for the guy to keep parking there so that couple can get their comeuppance, there's essentially nothing on the line in my mind.

Sometimes people just want a break from others. And I would certainly find my car seat more comfortable than a dirty park bench.
The thing that really gets me is that the neighbours are concerned enough to confront him, but only after a year.

TL;Dr but has the place become a mecca for subway sandwich eaters yet? It seems like the thing the internet would do, schedule a day a week for everyone to rock up or roster so there is a different person every day of the week eating their lunch there. Could you imagine I'm finding it hard to imagine

Nosey old people with boring lives that have nothing better to do than stir up shit.
I saw another video on YouTube where a guy gets confronted eating his sandwich in a park by an old man. The old man accuses him of being a drug dealer because he eats his sandwich there for lunch each day.

I provided a tl;dr summary on the OP.
I get the eat in car box so I can immediately park and eat it while I listen to tunes or sports radio. Its so convenient and comfortable.

Awwww, guy just wants to eat in peace.
I have a feeling it might be like this in the new neighborhood I am moving into. It's the suburbs and has quite a few elderly couples. I have driven by the new house to check it out, and I'll see these elderly people stop what they are doing to stare at me as I drive down the road LOL good luck to me!
