Remember the meter reader who got her car stuck on my lawn?

So last night my son wakes me up just after midnight. I walk him back to his room and see car lights in front of my house. There is a car stuck in the middle of my lawn. AGAIN.

Our driveway is roped off because we had a new cement drive poured 2 weeks ago and we're not supposed to drive cars on it until today. So the guy tells me his GPS a gave him bad directions and he needed to turn around. He saw the tire tracks on our lawn (from the meter reader 3 weeks ago) so he thought it would be ok if he just followed those tracks. The guy was 20ish, didn't seem obviously drunk but I've never heard of the street he was supposedly looking for. He said it was "Bay Shore Drive." We live near lots of woods and fields. It would be pretty odd to have a Bay Shore Drive around here without either a bay or a shore. I'm pretty sure he was making that part up.

He really spun his wheels, the ruts are pretty deep. I am seriously wtf'ing people today.

(huh)  Who does this?!?  

[compassrose]

I hate people.

[madringal]

How does this keep happening to you??

[RoxMonster]

OMG. My jaw literally dropped while reading this. WTF does shit like this? I cannot believe this happened to you not once, but twice.

[madringal]

And did you really go outside in the middle of the night to talk to this guy? Did he come to your door?

What happened with the meter reader? Did you report her? Did they not fix the damage?

We got a credit to our bill to pay for damages. We chose to repair the lawn ourself. We knew we were having the footprint of our front walk changed a week after the meter reader incident and that it would tear up a different section of the lawn, requiring a truck of topsoil to redo our planting beds next to the walk. We filled in the ruts two weeks ago and planted seed but it's cold here so it is not growing very fast.

This is just crazy! Time to put up a fence?

[polarbearfans]

Did you get his info? I would say put up a fence but I would think a car would drive through it at this point

[sjh722]

WTF? Who does that??

I read your meter reader post when it got bumped and thought it was from yesterday. Ooops.

[lime]

WTF?

It's like your lawn has a "Kick Me" sign on it.

[fivechickens]

OMG! I am LOL at the guy's reason. When I see tire tracks on someones grass I assume some drunk ass did it NOT 'oh hey I can do a U-turn RIGHT HERE!'.

What an idiot.

[hereigo]

..the hell?!

So how much is he paying you for the damage and when?

Did you take pictures immediately this time?

[yourmother]

I'm curious to know what your lawn, driveway and front street look like. Do you live on a dirt road? Just seems weird that two very different people have done this. Can you put up a fence?

ftfy.

[isabel]

Are these people confused about what the street should be used for??

[Eagles]

Put up concrete barriers? There are houses in my neighborhood that actually had to do this because people kept driving into them. :?

In all seriousness, what the fuck.  YOU DON'T U TURN ON SOMEONE'S LAWN.   

[starshine1977]

This is crazy! Both times! Why would anyone think it's okay to park/turn on someone's lawn? Sorry you have to deal with crazy people

[Deleted]

Did he get stuck too?

[RoxMonster]

Can you PIP your lawn/street situation? I am just dying that two totally different people thought driving up onto your lawn was at all OK. I am just so curious of what your yard situation looks like. I'm assuming no curb?

To clarify, it is not AT ALL your fault that people are doing this. I just cannot fathom a yard situation that would invite people to do this.

[jlt19]

Do you live at the end of the street? I've always said I'll never live there because I fear someone not slowing down enough to turn either way, and end up in my living room.

[LoveBug]

Wtf! I really need to see a picture of your front lawn to understand this.
