Neighborhood parking can get surprisingly territorial.

The following story involves a man whose neighbor threw a big party.

One of their guests, without permission, just parked in their parking space.

So, his dad made sure to send a clear message about parking rules.

Let’s take a closer look!

Geniuses parking on our parking area

It was around 2010 on a rather warm, sunny late afternoon in the summer.

At my house, we have a concrete driveway that is fenced in.

There is also a strip of dirt outside that we tend to park our vehicles on.

This man’s neighbor threw a huge party.

My dad at that time, and still does, has a bit of a short fuse.

I just wanted to throw out some details to clarify.

One of our many neighbors was throwing a large party.

Numerous guests of theirs were parking alongside the street.

One of their guests parked in their parking spot.

That was all fine and dandy.

Until one of their guests decided to park their brand new, burgundy-colored car that was freshly detailed in one of our parking spots.

They did not bother to ask.

They just parked there like a schmuck.

So, his dad decided to water the front lawn.

While the owner was gone for hours, my dad decided to go out front to water the front lawn.

He made sure the water from the garden hose would splash all over the freshly detailed car.

After it was all said and done, we did not even hear a word from the owner.

We also did not hear anything from anyone else about the water-spotted car.

Let’s see how others reacted to this story.

Short but sensible.

Those spots can last a long time, says this one.

Nothing ruins a fresh detail quite like surprise sprinkler season.
