Would any of you put up with this?

I'd load it up and drop it off at the Goodwill and plead the 5th. It becomes yours once placed on your property, no different than putting it inside the car to keep it out of the rain.
I wouldn't get in a battle with an old bat over laundry. She'd learn real quick when she has to buy new linen.
 
WTF is your rationale here??? Are you trying to tell me that I'm supposed to kiss her *** in order to avoid her being pissed off at me for something she started???? GET FUCKIN' REAL!!!!
Real question is " How big & Bad is the husband "? :poke:
 
If you are parking on property that THEY are paying for, rented or owned, you have no say. I mean, you have the moral and polite route, but when a person rents a place, even an apt or duplex, and part of their rent agreement is a parking spot, you are the guest. You really don't have much power, here, other than to remove the car. Either that or go to the landlord and pay rent for more parking and THEN you can control that patch of ground.

You have a point, but I'm still not going to allow anyone to put stuff on the car. I've done my best to be a good neighbor, and that includes letting them use the washer and dryer, giving them stuff, and trying to be their friend, and in return, I think I deserve a little more consideration and gratitude. I'm a nice guy, but that doesn't include being treated like a doormat. Maybe I should talk to her husband (who is a nice guy) and maybe my landlord to confirm the parking situation. If all else fails, then maybe I can ask my brother if I can keep it at his place until the car is at least on the road. Let's keep in mind that the car was my dream car for many years, and that's why I refuse to take any guff about it. Things have been quiet lately, and I want to try to keep it that way.

I think the best thing is to get the car out of there. Her attitude sounds like she's capable of some vandalism in the future that you can't prove or do anything about. Why take the chance?
 
Wow, so you provide the washing machine/dryer?? In a rental?
"Friendship" in her eyes = overbearing
Now I know who should be getting HJ's.
I would try to get a clear shot of car with security camera.

I really don't think she'll go that far. She has a way of getting unhinged once in a while and then reconsidering her behavior. I've known those people for about 3 or 4 years, and have learned that we would rather resolve issues than escalate them.

That's why I mentioned the clothesline
 

Hang your underwear on their car door handle to dry.

After all, it's just a car, and the underwear is clean.
 
Were it me-

I'd have immediately brought up the washer that I own, in the same conversation with "don't put your crap on my car...or find another washer to use...and then still don't put your crap on my car"
 
I don't know man, this thread wouldn't be fun to read if they all stay civilized and work it out over tea and crumpets
It's tea and strumpets. :realcrazy:

OP, the solution to this problem is simple.

Allow the behavior to continue. Let her put her laundry on your car.

Purchase either a bra or condom, and remove all packaging from either.

Place bra or condom in the laundry on the vehicle. You know, down inside, in the folds where it can't blow away or be found easily. You would hate for this to blow away accidentally, right? If you go with the condom, put it in his jeans pant leg or maybe in a pocket. If you go with the bra, try to get it inside something that belongs to her like a dress (or mumu from the sound of things). Try not to be observed doing this.

Try to be somewhere else when she takes the laundry in.

Try to be within earshot when the laundry gets folded or put on the bed or whatever she does with it. (At this point, I figure she probably just throws it on the floor and they just walk all over it.)

Keep us updated.

The old me would've thrown her clothes in a pile and pissed on 'em, but I'm trying to be better. Considering you live right next to these people, I'd try everything I could to resolve the situation amicably.

I'm really liking the clothesline suggestion.
 
You've tried talking with her. I would see if talking to others in her household get better results. If not, there are a few downsides I can think of to drying clothes on an old car.... Like having them come back smelling of gasoline and exhaust. Just stay away from the used differential oil smell, that would be a nuclear level escalation.
