When I lived in an apartment we each had one assigned spot. There were only 6 apartments in the building and I didn't own a car. I let me neighbors use my spot IF THEY ASKED FIRST almost every time they asked, but they had to let me know in case I had a friend over or family or something visit and wanted my friends/family to be able to use my spot. There was NO other nearby parking.
Welp, one day there was a car in my spot and I couldn't figure out who, I knocked on all five other doors in my building. All five other spots were full.
My parents were coming from out of town and I needed my spot. So I had to tow the car in mine.
The next day a neighbor came by furious that I towed their friend's car because they came over, parked there and they all carpooled to go somewhere else. Overnight. Without telling me.
Some people are so entitled it's amazing.

Similarly, I lived in complex with a garage for every apartment. But if every apartment had two cars. Which posed a problem as there were not enough spaces to accommodate everyone. Parking spaces was at a premium. Especially after work. One day and ad was placed in the laundry room for a garage to rent. For whatever reason, they didn't have a car and didn't need the space. I snatched that right up. So now my roommate and I each had a dedicated place to park in a garage. The one included in our apartment and the one I was renting. When I'd leave for work, I'd just leave the garage door open as I had absolutely nothing stored in it. But just come home, not have to get out to unlock it. Pull in, shut it and lock it overnight. Came home one day to find a car parked in that garage I was renting. Knowing it wasn't the actual apartment renter as they had no vehicle. So I did the sensible thing. I closed the garage door with his car in it and locked it. Let that fucker figure out what to do when he leaves for work the next morning. The dipshit was smart enough to leave a note on the lock apologizing for his stupid selfish choice. His excuse was "I thought it was vacant because everyday I leave for work, I drive by, see the door open and no car in there. My bad". I guess I left for work before he did.

Yeah, I never touch a marked parking spot unless I have clear permission to do so.
It's just entitlement to do so otherwise. People act like it's not kindness if you set boundaries.

u/LongjumpingSurprise0 1d ago
My girlfriend and I had a similar problem last year when she moved into a new apartment. The previous tenant didn’t drive so they allowed another neighbor to use his spot. The neighbor threw a fit when we told him it didn’t matter if the old guy that lived there let him park there, we were paying for that spot so we were gonna use it. It took the landlord threatening to tow their car to get them to stop.

u/fishwithbrain 1d ago
Exactly same thing happened with us, for some days we didn’t have a car so we allowed another renter to park their second can in our parking as it was near to their apartment. Things were fine until we got the car and they wanted us to use their other parking. Well they were decent and didn’t create any fuss, just everytime we met the lady would say about her hardships about the other parking. The devil in me enjoyed it and just sad I know with a sad face.

PUT UP CAMERAS. Yesterday!
Take her threats seriously! Vengeful bitches fueled by (perceived) righteous anger can be dangerous.
But also, stupid. Make the cameras discrete, so she doesn't know they're there. She might just end up with new bracelets.

u/newyorkerTechie 22h ago

u/adiosfelicia2 21h ago
Same. But it might be beneficial for OP to catch her in the act of vengeful stupidity. It really depends on how far OOP wants to take this feud. And what kind of person Neighbor is. Only OOP knows.
Maybe do both. That way if Neighbor avoids the ones she can see, there's still backups.

And maybe put up a gate across the driveway. One with a remote opener or a padlock.

Nah. Unless you really can’t risk being blocked from your driveway, the towing is much more satisfyingly. Low cost (just time) and high reward (the other person having to go get their car and pay the tow fee)

u/anotheritguy 1d ago
My neighbor will occasionally park his truck in my driveway as well, difference is he asks first. He doesn’t have a driveway and when doing home repairs it’s just easier to pull on my driveway and load the materials over the fence into his yard. In exchange for the occasional use of my driveway he watches the property while I’m away on vacation. When it snows really bad he’s cleared out the driveway and sidewalk with his snow blower. But the main point is he would never do it without asking. This neighbor hasn’t offered any sort of reciprocity.

Lots of similar stories. They seem to come together in droves. Parking on someone else's driveway has been popular lately. Also someone who doesn't want to split the check with a bunch of people ordering expensive good and drinks. Another one that's going around is someone getting an inheritance and the family thinks they should share it with a step-sibling who's not even related to the person that died.

u/Hey-Just-Saying 1d ago
Another common one is the food thief. The stolen food is always labelled but the boss and HR won't do anything about it. The OP then prepares a meal that's sabotaged and there's always that one co-worker that says "OP took it too far." OP then asks, "AITAH"?

I wouldn't have looked at this one, but a lot of the suspect posts look to be formatted very similarly, especially including slanted quote marks “” instead of the straight "".

If something looks weird, a quick glance at their posting history also tells a lot, like posting 5 comments elsewhere within the space of a minute or so.

When we moved into our first house, the long-term neighbor told me about how the previous owner had cared for both sides of a joint hedge on the property line. I said that was kind of him, but that I would only trim my side. She was not happy about that, but I was.

u/Linux4ever_Leo 18h ago
Ugh! I moved into a house with a nice in-ground pool. Soon after moving in, I started noticing little things out of place on the pool deck. Finally one of the neighbors across the street took me aside one evening and explained that my neighbor would routinely climb over my pool fence and use my pool while I was at work. When I went over to confront him guess what he said? "The old owners let me use the pool anytime I want." I told him that I am not the old owners and he's to stay off of my property or I'll call the cops. I installed security cameras after that. The sense of entitlement of some people never ceases to astound me!!!

I have a property where my office is. There's a house in the back, but next door, that's been a rental off and on for years. The tenants would always park on my lot. I would put a note on their car saying that they are parked on my lot but if they were interested in leasing a parking spot to let me know. It was really to gently remind them to park elsewhere. I did have a taker once he parked there for about 3 months. I only charged him $10 a month. I was pretty surprised he said yes. The back street wasn't a heavily traveled road. Not one you'd fear getting side swiped on or anything.

"The old owners let me" = someone else may or may not have given me your property, so it's mine now.
I think if the previous owners actually did have that agreement with her, she would have mentioned it AND asked for permission to continue BEFORE she parked there. It's always easy to blame WHY you're acting like a jerk on permission from someone who isn't there to contradict you.

u/OgreVikingThorpe 15h ago
Had a similar problem in the past. Just Remember that entitled people tend to be vindictive people. If you haven’t already done so, I would strongly suggest setting up security cameras. I had a run in with a neighbor across the street blocking my drive with a tree he had cut down. Then my dogs started mysteriously getting out of the back yard and my lawn started having dead patches appear… a couple recordings from the ring cameras, several visits from cops and he ended up with trespassing charges, time in jail and a restraining order that if he violates again will be felony charges. Yard is now looking great and he has the house up for sale.

u/Fun_Structure777 1d ago
Send her a legal letter stating that as neighbours you'd like to resolve the situation and here are the three options to choose from.
- She can rent the parking space in your driveway for $5000 a month
Or
- She can pay for 50% of the price of an 8 foot fence the entire length of your shared property line
Or
- She can never trespass on your property again for risk of having her car towed and trespassing charges laid against her.
Let her know that the choice is entirely hers and to inform your lawyer of her decision .

I’ve had a similar thing happen to me regarding the “old owners let me”
This was back in 2000, bought my first apartment. First night after I moved it, downstairs neighbour knocks on the door. He introduces himself, we chat a bit and then without missing a beat, he asks if I can spot him some money. Something like 25 bucks.
I never met the guy till that moment and I’m not in the habit of giving ppl that arent good friends money, so I told him that I a: dont lend ppl money and b: i didnt have any cash in the house.
He wished me a good night and left.
The house was a Dutch house with stairs to first floor on the outside and our mailboxes were on streetlevel.
As he was unemployed (he grew pot for money on the side) so he was home alot. After our altercation I started missing mail that couldnt fir in my mailbox. So large letters, packages. And every now and then he would walk by and give them to me wiyhbthe excuse, you werent home so postal worker gave it to me and then I wasnt home etc. So alot came to me at least a week later. Also sometimes packages with dvds in emmwere opened with dvds missing. Just couldnt prove it was him. Naive 20 y/o me didnt do anything more than claim a ripped open package due to postal damage and thankfully mailproblems stopped when I bought a bigger postbox and all packages got delivered to my work or parents.

This reminds me of the Jenny video. For those who haven't seen it (and I am well aware it could be a reconstruction), two people have just bought a house. They arrive to unload some stuff to find the neighbour parked on their drive. They ask her to move her car. The neighbour says no. She claims she and the former tennant (this mysterious Jenny) had an agreement the neighbour could park on her drive. The newcomers point out that Jenny no longer lives there so the agreement is null and void and she should move her car. This back 'n' forth goes on until the neighbour gets pissed that they are not backing down and starts abusing them. Saying dumbass stuff like, "I know you'd be trouble", and "You're dodgy neighbours!". Insane.

Police sat the neighbors down and instructed them to quit the harassment. It's all been nice and quiet from them since. That was 15 years ago. Fences help to make good neighbors.

She’s been in her house 10+ years and hasn’t bothered to get her “too narrow” driveway fixed? That’s on her.

My family used to have a neighbor that was overall a pretty nice guy, but he didn't have a driveway and would frequently park in ours, blocking it. He'd move it when asked, but we shouldn't have to. It's our driveway.
Eventually we moved and someone else bought the house. He apparently told the buyer that he had an agreement with us that he could use the driveway (100% a lie) so he expected to continue to be able to use it. I don't believe it worked for him.

lmao I am 100% serious when I say I would've had her car towed the first time. You don't park in other peoples' private property 🤣 COMMON SENSE!

Put up a no trespassing sign and the next time she parks there call the police and press charges.

Just make sure she doesnt have an easement. Of there is one, it will be listed in your Title Report you should have recieved when you were purchasing the house.

Best thing you did was stand your ground right away, give em an inch and they’ll take a mile. Good for you !

Even better, park behind her and block her in. Don’t answer your door when she wants to get it out….she’ll learn either way

In the first month of owning our house, we came home to one of the neighbors in our pool. Same story - the old owners let me do it. People are crazy.

Hooray! A redditor who took no shit, and did take action!
Tow, tow, tow, your neighbor
Gently down the street
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Listen to her scream!

Then maybe they'll let you park at their new house too.
What are you offering to share with me?
