Just because something isn't currently in use doesn't mean that it's up for grabs.

Too often do people in our lives assume that the infantile spin-offs of "finder's keepers" are applicable in real life. Contrary to popular belief, people are not allowed to take whatever they want, whenever they want, in an unauthorized manner. The older you get, the more you realize that some people simply don't grow out of the childish, entitled behavior they've adopted over their lifetimes. It's unfortunately up to you and the others they cross to give them a much-needed taste of reality.

In the story below, the neighboring family of the narrator has (yet again) decided to help themselves to the narrator's driveway without their consent to do so. The narrator explains that although they don't currently own a vehicle, they rent vehicles and have guests over from time to time. So, they would prefer to keep their driveway vehicle-free in case they need to use it. Also, (not so) hot take: They don't need a reason to want to keep their property use limited to them… Especially if the neighbors didn't ask them to use it to begin with. What would you do in this situation? Take legal action? Or, get sweet, petty revenge the old-fashioned way? Scroll below to read the full story.
