Firefighter VS Neighbor

One of the firefighter with whom I work was telling me about a party that he had at his house just after he bought the place. He had only been living on the cul-de-sac for about two months when he had a modest size (couple of hundred people) birthday party. One of his neighbors came home and found that there was no parking anywhere and that people we actually double parking in the cul-de-sac. so the neighbor came over and started yelling at this firefighter about the parking issues. While this was going on the neighbor heard a back up alarm. He smiled and said that the tow truck he had called was here and he was going to start towing vehicles away. As they both walked out to see the truck they discovered (one joyfully, one disappointingly) that the back up alarm belonged to the tiller truck from the local fire station. The guys on duty wanted some free food and to say happy birthday.

I'm happy to say that since that time the neighbor and the firefighter have patched things up and they laugh about that first party.
