When a neighbor treats their cul-de-sac like their own personal driveway, suddenly the free parking on the street goes away, curbside appeal diminishes, and the neighborhood's patience starts to fray. While it's understandable to have a car (or two) parked on the street to protect your garage from unwanted oil stains, once you start collecting a fleet of vehicles, like the bad neighbor in this next story, it's time to stop bogarting public free space and move the car show to your private property.

Car enthusiasts are obsessed with their ride. Polishing the rims with a microfiber towel and using biodegradable soap at hand-wash stations, these vehicles see more love than most living family members. However, this obsession doesn't give car guys the authority to take over the entire street. Rightfully so, this woman and her husband were tired of finagling a complicated park job around their neighbor's 5 cars, so they took to the city handbook to read the fine print about public parking areas. 

Turns out, the city ordinances had their backs, protecting the public areas from the overcrowded curbsides of an entitled neighbor. If only he'd known that before getting impounded…

  • He constantly takes up all the curb space right next to my driveway.

  • So close sometimes that his cars partially block both sides of my driveway, while his own driveway remains empty!

  • Found out that it's illegal to park a vehicle within five feet of a public or private driveway. Bam!

  • Sponge_67 That happened to me. I asked many times to leave some space and not park right up my driveway. They wouldn't listen so one night it was very cold so I took my

  • NJTroy In our first house, we were on a moderately busy street with no on street parking. One of our neighbors across the street was at an intersection. The neighbor next door used to come here drunk on Friday nights after

  • his own driveway was full so he parked across on the side street, too close to the stop sign and then would weave his way across the 40 mph street to his house.

  • One day we had a major snowstorm leaving about 20" of snow on the ground. Everyone in the neighborhood is out shoveling their sidewalks when the snowplow comes up the side street.

  • Neighbor comes up to the drivers' side window and something changes hands. Snowplow guy backs up and slowly, carefully begins to plow a large pile of snow over the car. He only quits when there's a couple of inches of the antenna sticking out of the snowbank.
    via NJTroy
  • Now all of us who are shoveling are watching. Eventually now sober guy comes out & looks for his car. Can't find it. Took a couple days until it melted enough so he could see the rooftop. Took him days to dig it out because it was frozen rock solid by then.

  • Those neighbors were part of why we sold that house after a couple years there.
