Potential buyers of house next door want coworker to park on street!

Coworker's(CW) driveway is between her and the neighbors(NB) house. NB is selling their house to move closer to their daughter since they are older and need help. CW was sitting at home watching TV when someone started ringing doorbell. She ignored it for a few minutes but they kept ringing it. Finally CW answers the door. She is greeted by a couple(EC) in their 40s and their realtor. EC asked if CW always parks in her driveway. CW says yes that's where she always parks. EC wife says that won't work and if they are to buy the house next door she has to agree to park in the street from now on. Her reason.... Because CW starting her truck would wake her up in the mornings since the master bedroom is right next to the driveway. The sellers had told them she tends to work 7 days a week during the winter (she does work a lot during winter). CW drives a well maintained Nissan Frontier that isn't loud in any way just for clarification. CW informed them that no she would continue parking in her driveway and closed the door.

You'd think it was all over wouldn't you. An few hours later NB comes over with a contract the EC and realtor had sent over for CW to sign. It stated CW promises to park on street if EC buys the house. It even included penalties if she didn't. They told NB that was only thing stopping them from buying the house and she had to get it signed. CW refused still and NB fully understands. The gall of that couple.

The house will sell fast for full asking price so not a big deal to NB.

Time for an old man rant. Can't manufacturers standardize product expiration dates? We need a color and size that you can read without readers. Many products can still be iffy even with the readers. Bread is the worst offender. It took me a good 5 minutes yesterday to make it out. Milk and eggs are usually ok. But bread, cheese, and some can goods may require a telescope. We need a white field with black lettering at least. I never should have made fun of Dad all those years ago lol! Now I'm doing the same thing.

I was practicing my putting the other day and forgot to put my putters back in the bag. I ended up using a Spore I keep in the car for today's round. Apparently I need to putt with Spores! That or I need to use my putters when just tossing a disc around with my wife. I just imagined I was tossing the Spore like I was tossing it to her. The 60 foot putt in hoping to get close. Not today! In the basket. Ricochet that kicked a 100 feet right of the basket. No problem for the Spore. Hyzer putt, anhyzer putt, elevated basket it did it all. I could be the greatest of all time if there is never any wind during the round......

I think I will keep it in the bag for now. It might shave a stroke or 2 off my rounds. Sorry had to share with people that would understand the joy it brought me. There were certainly some bonus birdies today.
