Highly competitive and extremely territorial, parking spot disputes bring out the worst in all of us, namely, the petty, vindictive, and rightfully furious neighborhood watchdog that's normally buried deep in the suburban psyche. 

But when someone parks in your spot or blocks you in, it's time to set that rabid dog free.

  • This resident had their own designated parking spot. It's legally theirs, they pay for it, they park there, and nobody else can lay claim to it. 

    At least, that's what they thought.

    Apparently, the entitled guy next door insisted he was “just going to park for a minute or two” the first few times he pulled in over the line, but when that minute or two turned into a 15-minute delay for the parking spot owner, the veinous pressure rose, and petty plots for revenge were formed. 

    Once they were backed into a corner (and literally blocked into their parking spot), they were prepared to dish out an unforgettable uno reverse. They just had to bide their time and wait for the perfect opportunity to teach this guy a lesson he'd never forget.

    I have a driveway that fits exactly one car, mine. There's street parking, but it's limited.

  • My neighbor across the street has a habit of pulling halfway into my driveway when he's "just running inside" or unloading groceries.

  • At first I didn't say anything because it was quick. Except it stopped being quick. There have been multiple times I've needed to leave and had to wait 10-15 minutes because his car was blocking me in.

  • I talked to him about it and he apologized and said it wouldn't happen again. It did.

  • Of course, when you give a person an inch, they're going to help themselves to a yard. 

    This neighbor was just trying to be nice to a fellow resident, offering a few moments of parking time in their spot, but the moment it started to infringe upon their own schedule, things got heated.

  • Multiple times. Last weekend I came home and he was parked in my driveway again, fully this time.

  • I parked behind him on the street and went inside. About an hour later he knocked on my door asking me to move my car because he needed to leave.

  • I said I would in a bit. He got annoyed and said he was in a rush.

  • OOOH, you're in a rush? 

    Sorry, buddy, but last they checked, he was parked in their parking spot, stealing their property with his clunky, stupid car. Perhaps if they wanted to have the freedom to drive whenever they wanted, they should have considered searching for a parking spot in the street instead of commandeering the private space in the drive. 

  • I told him I've been in a rush before too when he blocked me in. He ended up waiting about 20 minutes.

  • Now he's saying I did it on purpose to prove a point.

  • In truth, it's hard to say whether or not this guy learned his lesson. 

    Oftentimes, entitled people feel entitled to whatever they want in the world, regardless of consequences. Hopefully, this neighbor won't have to deal with getting blocked in anymore by this same guy, but at least they know they can get under his skin and ruffle some feathers with a petty revenge plot. 

    Nothing stings quite like the truth, right?

  • traciw67 Ntj. You did do it on purpose. And rightly so. And keep doing it. And next time keep the car blocked a lot longer.

  • Previous-Credit6568 He normalized inconveniencing you. You gave him a sample of his own system. Funny how it's only a problem now.

  • Piddy3825 Of course you were doing it to prove a point. The question is, did your neighbor get it?

  • curlyfall78 NTJ maybe it has sunk in how much he inconveniences you but if not just tell him from now on you will call a tow truck if he is in your driveway

  • Red-Sun-Cinema NTJ. Of course you did do it on purpose to prove a point. Your neighbor has proven to you that he's an a hole with an inconsiderate streak by blocking you in repeatedly because it was completely convenient for him. Now its time for you to park your car at the end of the driveway so that your rear end hangs out into the street just enough that it doesn't interfere with traffic or the sidewalk and prevents him from parking in your driveway. And from now on, whenever you come home an

  • Amazing-Swan232 dude got exactly what he deserved Imao. you gave him multiple chances and he kept doing it anyway - some people only learn when they experience the same inconvenience they're putting others through. bet he thinks twice before using your driveway as his personal parking spot now

  • Ratchet_gurl24 Now he's saying I did it on purpose to prove a point. Well, did it.??? Has it cured him? We'll see!
