    DO NOT BLOCK THE DRIVEWAY
  • 02
    AITA for going off on someone after they refused to move their car blocking my driveway? Basically, I noticed this person sitting in their car in front of my driveway, blocking it. Since they were in their car and the car was turned on, I gave them some time.

    About 5 minutes go by, and I get a package delivery. I go out there to grab my package, the person in question looks at me, and continues to go back to texting on their phone. At this point I thought for sure they would leave. But they don't. I wait a few more minutes, and finally I go out there and say "Can you move your car please?

    You're blocking my driveway". Immediately they come back with an attitude "do you need to GO somewhere? I ain't bothering you"! To which I say "Ahhh no but there is plenty of street parking available and it's illegal to block a driveway". She comes back and starts yelling at me "I ain't bothering you b and swearing at me. At this point I'm ped she doubled down when

    she was in the wrong and I was polite at first, and quite honestly was not in the mood for bs today, too so I came back hard and yelled right back, called her a b and told her I was gonna call the cops. She finally drove away when I faked a call to the cops (called my fiancé instead) and I flipped her off. Realistically, I guess I am mainly feeling guilty about losing my cool. AITA?

    OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the a hole: 1) yelling at someone and flipping them off 2) feeling like I overreacted

    KrofftSurvivor . 12h ago. Ah le Enthusiast [8] NTA - Someone is deliberately blocking your driveway, even though plenty of other on street parking is available, and then they get mad when they are asked to move? Never mind whether I'm going somewhere or not - what, are they casing the place???

    Because I can't think of a single good reason for someone to park deliberately blocking a driveway when there is other legal parking easily available. Absolutely not. If they didn't have any ill intent, and didn't mean to bother anyone, being asked to please move would have gotten the response of ~oh sorry, I didn't realize - I just pulled over for a moment~ and then the car would have been moved.

    The response given tells you everything about that individual's intent, and none of it good.

    Aggressive Finis... • 11h ago. If you truly did not need to go anywhere I would have asked if they planned to park there. Basically, I would have said, "If you're just here for a few minutes, it's okay, but if you leave your car here, I will have it towed." They got their warning and f'd around and found out. Sometimes people are lost or in the middle of a heated discussion and just need to pull over. Parking is a different story though.

    AbrasiveSandpip... . 10h ago I once had someone sit in my driveway and scroll through their phone. I went out and asked them to leave and they said they were just waiting for a text. I actually had to argue with this person to get them to move their car out of my driveway!!
