A homeowner who parked out on the street while replacing the asphalt on her driveway was faced with her neighbor's college-aged daughter demanding she move her car so her oversized SUV could fit on the street

Parking is just one of those things that immediately makes our brains go into a primal rage for some reason. For some reason, waiting for a spot for even a few minutes is somehow unacceptable to us; after all, it's not what we were expecting. You can be a perfectly reasonable, well-adjusted human being one minute, and then you blink, and suddenly you're behind the wheel, circling a crowded lot, and something ancient and primal is awoken inside you. You blink again, and you're in a heated standoff with a complete stranger over who is going to store their steel and plastic (let's be honest, mostly plastic these days) cube in a given spot.

  • My neighbor's daughter just told me I need to park in my driveway again

    I either don't encounter many entitled people in my day or I am really good at ignoring people, but this one just took the cake lol. So I (40F) just got my driveway replaced 2 days ago. Asphalt, not concrete. The contractor told me I could park my car on it again after 3 days. Google said 7-10. As much money as I spent on it, I decided to listen to Google.

  • Everyone living that urban life knows the pain of circling the block for 30 minutes trying to find a spot to park. Watching for brake lights, or a turn signal to flash like a beacon of hope for your doomed schedule. You were supposed to be at work or at that appointment 15 minutes ago, but you can't very well just abandon your car in the middle of the street… right?

    But even out in the suburbs, parking is fierce and territorial. Neighbors marking out "their" spots on the road in front of their houses with cones or blocking them in other such ways, even though the street is public property, or coming racing out of their homes to straight-up accost you simply because you deigned to park in front of their domicile. 

    It all gets a bit silly, really. But without a doubt, each of us over 25 has found ourselves peering through the street-facing windows doing our best Mrs. Kravitz impression as we crane our necks to see just who is daring to park in front of our house… we've never seen that car before.

  • I live on a 2 way, yet 1 driving lane street. On my side, all of the houses are street level and have driveways. While the houses across the street are on a bit of a hill with steps leading up to them. The only street parking is on my side. Their side has a alleyway/service road behind them where those owners could park. A lot of them chose not to. They'd rather park in front of our houses. Not a big deal. I don't own the street and don't care who parks there as long as they aren't blocking me i

  • I have been parking on the street in front of my own house for these 2 days now and plan to stay there for at least another 5. I did not park in the middle so that no other car can also park because I'm not an AH. One of my across the street neighbors has a daughter who is home from college. 19 maybe, idk. What I do know is she drives a SUV that is entirely too big and won't fit in front of my car without partially blocking the driveway of the neighbor next to me.

  • I'm outside this morning watering my flowers minding my d in business and this girl comes over unannounced and uninvited. The conversion went like this: Entitled Neighbor: (no hello, no pleasantries) Hey when are you moving your car? Me: Excuse me? EN: My truck can't fit with your car there.
    via SavvyMaverick
  • Me: (looks over to my driveway that is CLEARLY still roped off with yellow caution tape) I just got my driveway done. EN: Yeah I see that but it looks dry to me. My dad said asphalt doesn't take as long as concrete. Me: (smiles and goes back to watering) EN: You can park your car on it now. Me: (takes a deep breath; clearly annoyed) Drying and curing aren't exactly the same. I won't be parking on it for another few days.
    via SavvyMaverick
  • EN: No you need to do it now. There's nowhere else for me to park! What am I supposed to do?! (This is where my eye started to twitch because not this little girl telling me what I NEED to do) Me: (through clenched teeth) What about your service road? EN: My parents park back there. There's no room! Me: Well, idk what to tell you. I wish you an ounce of luck

  • Poor child turn a few shades of red and stomped back across the street. I am not one of those older millennials who thinks GenZ are all entitled babies, but wth was that?! And in case you're wondering, I WFH, did all my grocery shopping and errand running a few days ago. I have no plans on leaving the house or my spot again at least until Wednesday. She'll just have to suffer

  • This is a second thread that the homeowner shared regarding the situation:

    Wow, ok so I didn't expect as many comments as I got lol. I also had no plans on doing any updates because | didn't think there would be one. First, just to address a couple things that came up constantly in the comments.
    via SavvyMaverick
  • Why don't you park blocking your own driveway so she can fit? I considered doing this the day the work was done but not because of her. She nor her space ship ever crossed my mind. I was going to do it so that no one could attempt to use my driveway to do a 3 point turn. But I decided not to. Not to be vindictive. I just simply didn't think it was necessary. I genuinely didn't see an issue with me parking on the street. Also despite the arguing in the comments, in PA blocking a driveway, even yo

  • However, after that exchange, I wasn't going to do a single d n thing to accommodate her. If that makes me the entitled one, then I'll be that. Taking up 1 space in front of my own house seems, idk, perfectly reasonable. You CAN park on it now, Google is being over the top.
    via SavvyMaverick
  • I actually agree. 7-10 days is a little outlandish. However my concern is my car sitting there for prolonged periods. If I were leaving everyday for 8+ hours, I would be more inclined to start parking on it now. However, I really don't leave often for more than maybe 2 hours at a time a couple days a week. My car is a 2018 and only has 24K miles on it. I'm a homebody for real lol. Also my driveway previously was crumbling but also sinking in exactly where my tires lined up. Coincidence? I think

  • I hope you have cameras! She's gonna vandalize your car! I do have cameras. In plain view. I also have a motion detection dash cam. But I am not too concerned about that. Like I said, its a 7 year old car that's been paid off for 2 years. If she's dumb enough to have to buy me a new one, that's on her. Also, her father is pretty high on our districts school board. (I didn't go looking for that information. He told me that years ago.) I don't think he would take too kindly to his daughter tanking

  • Lastly, thank you to everyone for all of the petty suggestions. I got a laugh out of those. I won't be buying a clunker to sit in front of my house until the dawn of time but I appreciate the dedication. I hope that context helped because the update is not juicy at all.

  • Earlier today (Sunday), I was outside on a video call with another contractor showing them my fence that needs replaced. My neighbor (the father) was also outside doing yard work. He waved and I gave him a polite smile and continued with my conversation. When he saw that I had hung up, he waved again to get my attention and came across the street. He started by asking me my version of events yesterday and I told him. He kind of looked mortified and just shook his head and mumbled, "That's her mo

  • He then proceeded to tell me how his daughter got all of his good traits and all of his wife's bad ones. I don't know what that meant and didn't really care. I will say that I have owned my house for 9 years and have never once had a single interaction with the wife. Only with him. She's never acknowledged me and I'm ok with that.
    via SavvyMaverick
  • He also cleared up a few things: 1. She's 21 not 19. Not that it matters. I just got that wrong 2. The Suburban she's driving isn't hers. If you live anywhere in PA you know we've had some pretty destructive storms over the last couple of months. Well, one of them claimed the daughters normal sized Hyundai by dropping a tree on it. She's renting the Suburban because she's going on a 6 week road trip with friends to CA. Not the most fuel efficient choice, but ok. The important part is she leaves
    via SavvyMaverick
  • 3. He never sent her over here to say anything to me and didn't tell her about asphalt drying time with the intentions of her bringing it up to me. Apparently he was just making small talk about the work that was done because he was home that day and she wasn't. She brought up that I wasn't in my driveway and he told her why.
    via SavvyMaverick
  • He apologized and said he would have her do the same. I told him that wasn't necessary. (I really don't want to interact with her again for any reason.) He's now parking in front of my house so that she has room for her school bus behind their house. That's it. She's leaving on Saturday and while I am not leaving my car on the street until Christmas, I am still leaving it there until Wednesday. Be kind! :)
