why can't you just write a note and hand it to him to enlighten him of the situation?

Just have someone steal his minivan, problem solved ... JUST KIDDING!!!!
Good idea on just writing a little note and handing it to him to read, no mis-communication there and I'm sure he'd appreciate that method of communication.
I have a couple of customers that are deaf and this method works well with them.
He probably has no idea how it's affecting you and the Mrs. and you's might even become better neighbors after this, you sound like no one else bothers with them and this may be a chance to "get to know your neighbors" and biuld a better understanding of things.
Just my .02

Insanity is a long and winding road ... I think I finally made it there.

I just might have to do it anyway.
But can anyone tell me if waiting 3 weeks to drive on an aspault driveway is excessive???? Seems it to me. That would sure be a problem on the SE expressway. |

You know Van, they might feel more like they both belong in the hood if you did speak to them about the problem. Just because they are deaf doesn't mean thier dumb. One day is all it takes for a driveway to be driven on. A road is less because no one is doing sharp turns on it like you will pulling/turning into a driveway. He is way overdue on using his.
Van I didn't mean dumb in the same sense as a lower IQ. I meant dumb as in they probably know what thier doing but since no one has bitched to them they probably think no one is bothered.

You should speak to them directly if you know they read lips. Then play the wife as the excuse. Just say that you're afraid your wife is going to clip the minivan when she's backing out and could they move it either back or forward until they can use the driveway again.

I know they are not dumb, but I hardly ever see them to talk to them. They hang indoors alot. If they don't open that driveway, I will just have to leave them a note and let the chips fall. I'll say nada to the mrs.... |

Just walk over, introduce youself if you haven't already, and ask, "Could you do me a beg favor". If he does and he probably will, then everything is cool. If he doesn't, back into his friggin minivan and apologize saying "I just knew that would happen, I'm SOOOOO sorry".

Deaf people don't bite...take a note pad big enough for both of you to write on and walk your arse across the street and ask your questions....never mind this note on the windsheild crap..face to face is the only right way to do this.
