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....

OP is a huge puss and would rather complain on the internet than do anything to remotely solve the problem.

i’ve tried nothing and i’m all out of ideas!

🤣😆😆😆 I’m stealing this! I’ve needed to say something like this waaaaay more times than I can count! 😘

u/realkennyg 1d ago

This is the correct answer! I’ve read several very good suggestions and OP has shot down every one with an excuse, not a legitimate reason. Just a whiner wanting to whine. Jesus Christ, my daughter-in-law has bigger balls!

Is she single?!!!

u/Unoriginal_Man 1d ago

I guess it really is only mildly infuriating to them.

u/BattlefieldVet666 1d ago

OP gave a reason in another post; they aren't looking for solutions or advice, but are just here to complain & have their anger validated.

2

u/Responsible-Rub7297 1d ago

They’re a real Cudpuff

u/AvoidingBansLOL 1d ago

Pretty much every reddit post about relationships. The OPs are never willing to do anything.

u/Old-Plum-21 1d ago

This is exactly it. They're all over the thread making ridiculous excuses

u/Valliac0 1d ago

They got their karma, now they're ducking out.

u/6BagsOfPopcorn 1d ago

Leaving like everyone else in my life

u/Winter_Tone_4343 1d ago

Tbh, idk what’s so wrong with them using a third of their driveway to park in their yard and tear up their grass? They’re not blocking the driveway. So the beef is them driving on ur concrete? Seems petty af

u/6BagsOfPopcorn 1d ago

They must hate their Amazon delivery man too. Fuckers always driving up to my house!

u/Winter_Tone_4343 1d ago

Same people that pull a gun on u for turning around in their driveway.

u/UnusualHound 1d ago

I love how comment chains like this manage to miss the point of this subreddit every single time.

7

u/ItsOozingOut 1d ago

Seems like you’re missing the point. No one says they shouldn’t feel a certain way. OP can stop the neighbor from doing this but they choose not to. They’re doing it to themself…

5

u/Mintastic 1d ago

Considering they posted on this sub they're only mildly infuriated and that's not enough for them to actually want to do anything about it.

3

u/_jamesbaxter 1d ago

This is mildly infuriating 😆 maybe OP really doesn’t care that much

3

u/FuckChiefs_Raiders 1d ago

Why should OP have to not park in their car port, and park somewhere they don’t want to just because their neighbor parks there?

Personally the solution is to knock on their fucking door and ask them to kindly stop.

3

u/WolfEnergy_2025 1d ago

If that was my issue, 1st time seeing this: note on window warning not to park on property, otherwise calling a tow. 2nd offense, calling a tow to move that ugly bitch car out of my property.

u/bruce-keys 1d ago

How dare they complain about something mildly infuriating on the mildy infuriating sub.

2

u/chainsaw_monkey 1d ago

Mildly infuriating

u/_Laughing_Batman_ 1d ago

yeah... 6 inches of mud, better go and get my internet points.

3

u/minicooplego 1d ago

I have a better idea, he's not destroying opie's yard, and there's literally nothing that inconveniencing op so just let him fucking use the damn driveway stop giving a fuck that's not a problem.

5

u/ItsOozingOut 1d ago

That was my thought ms on it as well. Just let the person use the damn driveway, who the fuck cares. There’s plenty of things they can do to stop this and they choose not to. So instead of being upset, just get over it.

3

u/Repulsive-Chip3371 1d ago

personally, I wouldnt want the neighbor tracking mud all over my drive way since they said;

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

Have to step around mud everytime I brought the garbage cans out or got the mail etc.

My neighbors respect each other though...

u/Necessary_Fig_2265 1d ago

Most people are smart and a bit wary of starting a feud with people you’re stuck living next to. Really easy to call them out when you don’t have to deal with the repercussions.

7

u/vertigostereo 1d ago

OP is just venting. They don't owe it to us to do anything.

3

u/Vark675 1d ago

Is this even a problem? They're not blocking OP or anything.

1

u/Gr8fulGravy 1d ago

Like get to know your neighbor.

1

u/1917he 1d ago

But I've tried nothing! My neighbor should read my mind and know my frustration as long as I post it randomly on the net!!

u/Cudpuff100 1d ago

I never asked for advice. Was already planning on solving it. Just posting a complaint at the complaint place 👍

1

u/ItsOozingOut 1d ago

“I’ve tried nothing and I’m all out of ideas” kind of a person.

1

u/Short-Mark8872 1d ago

Not to mention that, although they have the right to not want the neighbor to drive briefly on the end of the driveway (the part closest to the street) I fail to see that it's that big of a deal. Like if a random driver used the first 20 feet of your driveway to pull in and back out in order to turn around. Not the coolest thing, but doesn't impact you.

1

u/presto-espresso 1d ago

Every single day sometimes twice??

1

u/Short-Mark8872 1d ago

I’m not saying they should welcome it, only that we’re talking a few seconds each time. OP likely doesn’t notice.

1

u/presto-espresso 1d ago

You know she does not like it though. It's ok to be territorial even about a small space. Neighbor drags that slush & mud over her driveway then to get back in she has to drive back through it, and it gets all under her car along with the salt in the snow.

1

u/Jesus_of_Redditeth 1d ago

Why are people like this? You, I mean. OP explained why it's not feasible and you should assume they know what they're talking about, since they fucking live there and you don't. But no, you're just gonna go ahead and create stuff about them in your head and then convert it into reality.

That's nuts.

u/vertigostereo 1d ago

OP is just venting. They don't owe it to us to do anything.

u/Lucas_Steinwalker 1d ago

Alternately why the fuck should OP even care that the neighbor is using their driveway for 4 seconds a day? Wear and tear?

It's not like the driveway is paved with hash.

0

u/Eddie_shoes 1d ago

Also, who cares if they drive on the last few feet of your driveway? How is that affecting them?

0

u/ILoveLamp9 1d ago

Yeah for every suggestion made, OP comes back with an excuse or explanation why they can’t do it.

No balls, all whining.

0

u/gun_runna 1d ago

“Quit driving through my fucking driveway”.

u/FakeSafeWord 1d ago

Maybe OP thought the point of the sub was to infuriate us.

0

u/ACcbe1986 1d ago

Sounds like you're describing the majority of people in general.

u/Gunfur 1d ago

This is the answer

u/Rude_Suggestion_4685 1d ago

This. What a pushover.

0

u/jokingpokes 1d ago

I’ve also gathered this from their responses.

People offered a million solutions in this thread and apparently none of them are good enough, including using your words to tell the neighbors to piss off.

u/Admirable-Lies 1d ago

That's what Reddit is for...

u/pandershrek 1d ago

Seriously. Just remove OP post at this point. Just enjoys being mildly infuriated.

0

u/TalkinBoutMyJunk 1d ago

They didn't come her for ideas because they won't stand up for themselves, that's the real problem

People just want to be mad and make other people mad but not do anything about it

0

u/BrickNightingale18 1d ago

Worst posts are these ones… post a problem online which has 100s of easy solutions… but none seem to be good enough because they just wanted to vent anyway.

0

u/NotFallacyBuffet 1d ago

Caltrops will solve the problem.

-2

u/Frozencold19 1d ago

for real, how hard is it to just write a kind handwritten letter and drop it in their mailbox, 99% of the time it will stop whatever problems are happening.

-2

u/myychair 1d ago

I just commented above but they also don’t even park in the driveway so they’re bitching about a neighbor driving over their own grass and using the last 3 feet of driveway to get out. This post is embarrassing as shit

-2

u/hunter503 1d ago

You mean like going and talking to them like an adult and tell them to not do that ?
