'Share what, exactly? My own parking?': Homeowner tells off the Karen next door for stealing their driveway after they leave a passive-aggressive note on their window about “learning to share”

Karens never know when to quit, and this woman next door took her entitlement to another level when she repeatedly parked in her neighbor's driveway. After stealing the parking spot next door so many times, suddenly this Karen felt as if she could call dibs on it, assuming that the homeowner next door was spineless enough to let her linger. 

Alas, the homeowner was decidedly peeved about their stolen driveway, starting a neighborly feud that would last until the ink ran dry for passive-aggressive notes.

  • My neighbor accused me of stealing her parking spot... in my own driveway

  • I'm 27F and live in a small townhouse complex. Each unit has its own driveway, clearly marked, and mine fits two cars. I only have one, so I usually park right in the middle, not to be a j, just because I like having space on both sides.

  • A month ago, a new neighbor moved in next door. One evening, she knocked on my door looking super annoyed. She told me I should be parking to the side of my driveway because it makes it harder for her to back out of hers. Mind you, our driveways don't overlap at all.

  • I tried to be polite and said I'd think about it, but also reminded her it's my space and I'm not blocking anyone. She just scoffed and walked away.

  • The next morning, I found a note on my windshield saying some people don't know how to be good neighbors and that I should learn to share. Share what, exactly? My own parking?

  • Then a couple days later, I come home and her car is parked halfway in my driveway. I literally had to do a 6-point turn just to squeeze in. I went over and told her she needed to move it immediately or I'd have it towed. She rolled her eyes and slammed the door, but eventually moved it ten minutes later.

  • Parking is a coveted perk of homeownership. I've lived in plenty of parking-impacted neighborhoods, and there's one thing I learned very quickly about car ownership: Never steal or block someone else's spot. Lest we forget the rules and guidelines of property, homeowners like to keep their lines crisp and clear to avoid any confusion with the neighbors. 

    However, when someone's driveway is clearly in front of their house, it goes without saying that it's theirs for the taking, but some Karens don't know where their world ends and another begins, causing land disputes that would make the Texans proud.

  • Shoddy Move6054 Nah, I'd be parking diagonally now just to assert dominance. Bonus points if you add traffic cones.

  • ReactionEither6684 That "share" note would've sent me into orbit. Girl what exactly are you supposed to be sharing? Your property?

  • roxywalker. If I'm feeling salty I'm parking in her driveway just to get her attention and asking her how it feels to be inconvenienced.

  • NYCQuilts Your mistake was saying you'd think about it. Give these people an inch and they will take your driveway.
