Man treats neighbor's parking space like an extra spot, learns a $300 lesson when neighbor tows his in-law's car: 'Ever since then, my driveway has stayed crystal clear'

Dealing with neighbors is not always easy. You want to come at it from a respectful angle, but you also have to stand your ground. You might be neighbors for a heck of a long time, so you don't want to nuke your chances at a good relationship and risk your house getting egged. But you also know the saying, "Give someone an inch and they'll take a mile." If you're too lenient in the beginning, then you might end up in a situation that you'll regret. So you have to strike a balance between being firm and being kind. It's not an easy thing to do when they constantly test your boundaries, taking things from you that are rightfully yours. You might find your kindness to be mistaken for weakness. You'd hate to have to assert yourself crazy style. 

But sometimes you do. Sometimes life gives you the perfect opportunity to be kind of a petty princess. And in those moments, it's better to take it and run rather than wilt like a flower in the rain. That's what this neighbor did.
