What does it mean to be neighborly these days? In an age when most of us are plagued by social anxieties that render us nearly incapable of having a decent human interaction with anyone outside of our inner circles, when it comes to our neighbors, the vast majority of us want to be left alone. 

Let's be real here. Minimal interaction seems to be the best kind of relationship with the people next door. It doesn't matter how tight-knit the community may be, you don't need to have an extended conversation every time you see one another during your morning dog walk. Imagine how satisfied all the residents of a neighborhood would be if these interactions were limited to just the meaningful ones. 

Now, when it comes to the neighbors who actively inconvenience one another, that's one instance in which confrontation might actually be necessary. Keep scrolling below for this tale of an entitled neighbor who refused to move their car away from another resident's home…

  • This resident noticed their neighbor's car parked in front of their place, and after a few days of this, it became difficult to cut the grass on their lawn without getting some onto the neighbor's vehicle. Plus, they had an upcoming furniture delivery and needed more space in front of their house. So, the author of the story decided to leave a note on the neighbor's car. As is the case with most passive-aggressive notes, this did not go over well. And so the neighborly feud began!

    "Can’t park in front of your own house? Whoops, no more secondary income!"

    TL;DR: Neighbor starts parking in front of our house, refuses to park elsewhere, ends up that she's running an illegal short term rental that gets shut down by the zoning commissioner after being taken to court.

    I live in a small neighborhood with maybe 20 total homes. Each home has about 50+ feet of road frontage, three+ car garages, and large driveways, and parking is permitted on both sides of the street. As such, there's never a

    reason to park in front of a home that isn't yours/that you're not visiting unless there's some sort of event. Most of the neighbors are friendly and know each other, so in the time I've lived here, parking has never been an issue.

    Until last month. Last month, a neighbor from the far other end of the development started parking daily (and overnight) in the smack dab middle of our property's road frontage.

    Odd, but maybe she's having work done on her driveway and wants to park...away from the fumes? Idk, things happen, not a big deal.

    But after five nights of this I'm getting a little fed up. The yard guys can't cut the grass where her car is located, deliveries of large items are postponed

    because they can't get up our driveway without the extral turning radius. So I leave a note (I know, I know) on her windshield.

    It's a quick note explaining that it'd normally be a non-issue, but we have some deliveries coming and it'd help us if she could move her car back to her home this week. EDIT FOR CLARITY: the note did not ask her to move permanently, but asked if she

    could move temporarily (for three days, I think we asked) so we could mow without getting grass on her car and so that the delivery drivers could get in the driveway (we had a few large deliveries that required big trucks with large turn radiuses).

    NO PARKING ANY TIME

    No response, but the note is gone the next morning, the car is still there, and our other neighbor texts us.

    "Hey OP, you may want to watch out for Mean Neighbor. She started cussing me out for the note left on her windshield and said it was public property so she could park there as much as she wants."

    Not cool, but since I don't want to pick a fight, what is there to be done? The next time she moves her car, I pull my own in front of my house. This does NOT make

    Game on. (Edit: I did not get revenge for her parking in an obviously public place, as explained, but for her flipping me off, cursing me out, and leaving cruel notes on our car when we parked in front of our own home.)

    It didn't take much digging to realize there were regularly unusual, out of state cars parked at her actual home, and even less digging to find her home listed on AirBnB (for way more per night than her entire mortgage). A few

    County Zoning Commissioner finds out she's been renting out her home for almost half a decade, and each rental violation equates to a $250 fine. You can do the math.

    I'm not sure what happened after, but we do know she received a court order of some sort, and more importantly, that she's stopped parking in front of our house. Guess she had to find a job that didn't include flipping people off all day.
