Man lets party guests park in neighbor's driveway despite warnings, entire party gets blocked in: 'I had a bunch of missed calls... but I didn't answer'

This party had a super awkward ending when guests who'd parked in a neighboring driveway found themselves blocked in! 

If you're friendly with your neighbors, it's okay to ask them if you can borrow their driveway for a party. You should probably invite them to that party if you do so! You might want to request that your guests be allowed to park out front of their house as well as using the driveway if you're expecting a ton of guests. That maximizes your guest parking space, while also minimizing your chances that guests will park in other spots that they shouldn't be in. 

Of course, to do this, you actually need to have some give and take in your relationship with your neighbor. If the two of you are constantly butting heads and having little spats, your neighbor might not be so inclined to help you out. 

For example: this dude. As this person explained, their neighbor has been parking in their driveway for months! He's literally been told over and over again not to do that (I mean, does he not have space on his own property??). But as this person shared, the neighbor has an excuse. He keeps insisting that "it's just for a sec," as if he has any right to claim ownership over someone else's property in the first place. 

Well, this is a mess around and find out kind of situation, because that quick second of parking swiftly turned into a majorly embarrassing situation for that neighbor. It's like that famous episode of Seinfeld where Jerry and Elaine get stuck at a party way after it's ended, frustrating their hosts… except in this case, it seems like tons of guests were all stuck, and I imagine they were furious at the host for putting them in that situation! 

Just imagine: you've told all your guests they can park in the neighbor's driveway, since you think the neighbor is a push-over… only to discover that the neighbor has blocked all your guests in and left for the whole weekend. Now, the guests would be knocking on the door, having to get Ubers or call other friends to get them, all while leaving their precious cars at some stranger's house for an entire weekend. It's totally humiliating, and it's the kind of thing that could really ruin one's status as a good party host!

    Wolf-Pa... I did this once. My driveway and my neighbors driveway are adjoining, there is a fence that goes down the length of the driveway way to separate them. They were having a party
