When you purchase a property, do you intend to follow all the unwritten rules that other neighbors feel "grandfathered" into? What if those rules get your car dinged up or your dog loose? The entitlement to your own private property can be intimidating. And if your good old-fashioned neighborly intimidation tactics don't work, then some extremely entitled neighbors might take it too far. Perhaps even going against the law.

This woman bought a property that had been basically vacant for the past decade. When she moved in, she quickly realized that the locals used her driveway as an access point to the nearby lake. At first, it didn't really bother her, but then it was more than just a couple of people here and there. All of a sudden, it's every neighbor nearby. The final straw was when someone dinged up her van and didn't even leave their information. After that technically hit-and-run, she closed her gates. Most of the neighbors were bummed but understood. It's not their property, after all. However, two older couples were furious. They started harassing her, leaving notes, constantly ringing her doorbell, and even trying to just open the gate anyways and let themselves in. They said they were “grandfathered in” to using her driveway and that she's “ruining the vibe of the neighborhood.” They even went as far as impersonating an HOA and trying to intimidate her that way, even though she knows for a fact that there is no HOA (she even had her lawyer check). Can you believe this level of entitlement? What would you do?
