Parking debacles are a part of life. It wouldn't be an HOA or suburban cul-de-sac without an entitled neighbor claiming what's yours is theirs, right? Your neighbor's Honda Civic might claim victory over the parking spot in front of your house on the weekends, but not for long. Unfortunately, if you're in a parking/automobile debacle like the one in the story you're about to read, it's all about asserting dominance. Pretend like you're in a nature documentary and get to stepping on territorial strategy… a parking spot that's yours is a parking spot that's YOURS.

In this next story, a man and his wife are feuding with their next-door neighbor, who owns several cars. This neighbor has a driveway but has now begun parking the rest of their vehicles on the curbside of their street. Unfortunately, this includes the man and his wife's parking spot in front of their home. This neighbor will soon realize they messed with the wrong couple. Scroll to read.
