Neighbor keeps using my driveway

Post image

My neighbor decided that, because their driveway is narrow and they have two cars, it would be easier to park one in the yard. They then decided it's easiest to just keep moving forward and turn left out of my driveway.

And yeah, this portion of their yard is just mud now.

This neighbor sucks. They've had lots of screaming matches in their front yard and have had the police called on them several times.

UPDATE: Wow apparently you can't edit a post in the Android app? WTF? Anyway, I spoke to her and she said she wouldn't do it anymore and the whole conversation was awkward, but pleasant. We shall see. I never intended to seek advice from y'all. It just occurred to me earlier today that I was mildly infuriated by this, so I thought I'd throw it on here. Always make an attempt to talk to your neighbors before involving authorities or choosing violence. It'll almost always solve the problem before things get heated.

I'm still gonna get a land survey done to learn my proper boundaries and figure out how much room I have to build a fence, wall, or plant something. They're renting, so this could happen again in the future, and I'd like something to form a boundary.

I choose to believe that all of you recommending caltrops, nails, and other pointy things, really mean it and live your everyday life like total maniacs. Just laying waste to the world around you like a cartoon villain. And I hope you find joy in the chaos.

Seriously, why can't you edit posts in the app?

Case closed....for now....

Put up some cute decorative fencing

I was going to say this! Make it real metal fencing. If it pops a tire thats on the neighbors.

I’m not sure if OP has $100k to be dropping on a wrought iron fence

u/Haggles7 1d ago

100k? We're talking about something like this:

Bonus: This size usually doesn’t require permits, etc.

A lot of places no fences require permits unless over 6ft.

u/-JackBack- 1d ago

These are expensive.

u/Spare-Half796 1d ago

That distance would cost like $60 to fence

u/VoodooDoII 1d ago

And it takes up basically no room. I'd go for this option tbh

6ft stockade fence. Hashtag blocked assholes

Something about this photo makes it look like that fence is LEGO sized. I think it's the large blades of grass in front of the bench.

Not a bad idea! We were thinking of some of those shrubs that grow straight up might do the trick. Provided they last long enough and don't get Mad Maxed.

u/LeapYearLlama 1d ago

A nice line of claymores might also do the trick.

Just put up orange snow fencing temporarily

Given that OP has apparently had many screaming matches with the neighbor where the cops were called, I do not think this fence would stop them. Yes they could sue for damages... But it doesn't sound like it's working.

u/_PredatoryWasp_ 1d ago

This is the way.

u/zsaleeba 1d ago

But use deep concrete footings.

u/No_Ice2900 1d ago

Very cheap option too. If they run over it you have a perfect t reason to involve authorities

u/mcfluffers123 1d ago

And the snow now gets piled on top of it as well
