Here's the update you've been waiting for
My aunt was taking out the last bag of trash when the landscaper arrived. He sees the car at the end of the driveway and then my aunt.
Landscaper-"Are you going to move your car?"
My aunt-"When I get around to it and I'll be coming back."
Landscaper-"Your neighbor said you gave your permission for us to use your driveway."
My aunt-"She did not ask my permission."
Landscaper-"Oh." Calls neighbor "Your neighbor said you did not ask her permission to use her driveway and she hasn't given it to me so I can unload your rocks in front of your house."
I know what the neighbor said because when I spoke to the landscaper he relayed his phone call to her to me.
Neighbor-"Yes I did talk to her about it on Tuesday. Just put the rocks in front of the house."
I went out a little later. I know who the landscaper is and he is a good guy. He's actually worked for us in the past.
Me-"Sorry you were put in the middle of this, but she never asked us to use our driveway."
Landscaper-"It's okay, your neighbor said she spoke to your aunt on Tuesday and got her permission."
Me-"She didn't asked my aunt anything on Tuesday, but told her she had to be out of the driveway by 8 AM and wouldn't be able to use the driveway all day."
Landscaper-"Oh. Don't worry about it. I don't get in between neighbor disputes. If she didn't ask, she didn't ask."
And just in case your wondering, they are not the small white landscaping rocks. There is now a huge area of regular old ugly rocks on a chunk of the lawn next door. I should get a pic and post it for you guys.
