A woman was furious when her neighbors kept using her driveway without permission, but when she confronted them, they said it would be her fault if their kids were hit by a car. Now, they aren’t speaking.
They Had Their Own Driveway
The woman said, ‘The neighbors have their own driveway, but they keep an old busted car that doesn’t drive permanently parked in it.’
It Was Her Property
Since her neighbors couldn’t use their driveway, they often used hers. But they never asked permission. Usually, the woman would find her neighbor’s pick-up truck blocking her car for up to two hours daily. It was extremely frustrating.
He Never Asked for Permission
The woman would watch her neighbor use the space when dropping off his kids or unloading groceries. Sometimes, he’d go into his house and leave it on her property for ages, and she had no idea what he was doing! Not once did he ask her permission.
Her Husband Needed the Space
What made it worse was that her husband also had a car and needed to use the driveway. The driveway was very narrow, so when her neighbor’s pick-up truck parked there, it would block the woman’s car in, and it meant her husband couldn’t park! One day, the woman knew her husband was coming home, so she asked them to move, and they did… after 15 minutes. But the next time she asked them to get out of her spot, they really kicked up a fuss.
She Asked Them to Move
The woman needed to get her car out of her driveway to go grocery shopping, but the pickup truck was blocking her in. Disgruntled, she went to speak to her neighbor and his wife, who were in their car, and told them to move. To which the man waved his hand and rudely said, ‘Yeah, yeah.’ The woman was furious. Minutes later, they were still in her driveway, and she asked them to move again. She told them it was her driveway, and they had their own next door.
His Kids Could Get Hurt
The woman said, ‘And then these two started yelling at me, ‘We have kids. Where am I gonna put them? On the road? You want them to get hit by a car?’
She Couldn’t Believe it
She was shocked. Why was she being yelled at for asking someone to get off of her property? It was a busy street, so she had held her tongue when he used it to unload his kids in the past, but the children weren’t even in the car at this point! It wasn’t fair.
Was She in the Wrong?
The woman was mad but was worried about her future with her neighbors. She didn’t want them to make her life miserable, so she asked the internet for advice.
The Internet Had Thoughts
One person said, ‘Position your 2nd car at the very edge of the drive every day when your husband leaves.’
Another reader was angry, ‘Your neighbors are so entitled, I would never dream of using someone else’s driveway!’
Others Responded
Others commented, ‘Tell him you will call to get him towed next time.’
There Were Lots of Opinions
Another person chimed in, ‘Some people don’t learn, nor do they care.’
A Final Word
Finally, someone said, ‘Put up a sign stating cars parked there will be towed.’
