Entitled neighbour takes drastic action against people parking in public road

A woman was left utterly gobsmacked by her neighbour's audacious attempts to monopolise the local parking, branding it one of the most "frustrating" experiences she's had in suburbia. She recounted how parking can be a bit of a squeeze, often leading to unfamiliar vehicles parked outside her home.

Taking to Reddit, the resident vented: "Parking tends to get a bit congested, especially when people throw parties. Needless to say, I'm quite used to random cars being parked in front of my house. Every single house on the block also has its own driveway." Yet, not everyone is so easy-going about the shared parking situation. An "older woman" in the neighbourhood has been acting rather "entitled" over where people can leave their cars.

Living "on a corner," with pavements on "two sides," she takes it upon herself to deter anyone from parking along either side, employing some dubious tactics.

The woman has resorted to "several ways" to enforce her no-parking zone - these include "throwing garbage onto cars, leaving neurotic notes that say things like 'Find a new place to park,' and verbally confronting people who are well within their legal rights to park".

The frustrated poster added: "Recently, my brother had to park near her house and came back to find a note on his car. It's so frustrating... Realistically, I don't even know what can be done about it".

In the comments section, one individual suggested that unless she causes damage to the car, they should "call the cops," otherwise it's best to "throw away the notes and ignore her".

They further recommended: "Get a camera for the car that is motion-activated."

Another commenter advised: "Get a dashcam that specifically records when parked. That's what they're for - any damage anyone does when you're not driving.

"It might also save your butt one day if you have a traffic incident while driving, too, so it would pay for itself.

"I'm currently watching video reviews and researching to get one myself, and I am amazed at the high-quality ones out there".

A different user shared their own experience: "I have one of these, too. She has a two-car garage (full of junk, no room for cars) and a driveway with two vehicles, one that runs and one that is sitting on rims. She has friends coming and going constantly.

"She has demanded that we refrain from parking in front of OUR OWN house so her guests could park there.

"Said the same to our neighbour on the other side, two houses down from her. We all just agree that she's crazy and ignore her, but the entitlement is STRONG with this one. I feel your pain. I really do".

Another Redditor chimed in: "That's so aggravating! My dad has started parking the extra car in front of her house in lieu of my brother's car, and I told him to collect the notes and dump them on her lawn."

And a final comment came from someone who shared their own neighbourly woes: "People like your neighbour should not live in neighbourhoods! My next-door neighbours are old, angry people.

"They will not let any contractor park in front of their house, even when work is being done on their house."
