There’s a big difference between being appreciative and acting entitled.

So, how would you handle it if your neighbor kept parking in your driveway without permission, and when you confronted them, they made you out to be the bad guy? Would you just let it go to avoid further issues? Or would you finally draw a line and make her stop?

In the following story, one homeowner is dealing with this exact situation and is unsure what to do next. Here’s what’s going on.

My neighbor thinks my driveway is her free parking spot.

So, I live in a townhouse with a small driveway, just big enough for my car.

My next-door neighbor doesn’t have a driveway and has to park on the street, which is fine—except she’s decided that my driveway should be her backup spot whenever she wants.

It started off as an “emergency” situation a couple of times, like she had people over or street parking was tight.

Then, she let her entitlement show.

I didn’t say anything at first because it seemed temporary, but now it’s almost a weekly thing. She’ll park in my driveway without asking and just says, “I knew you wouldn’t mind” when I confront her.

The last straw was when she blocked me in one morning while I was running late for work.

I asked her (again) not to park there, and she actually had the nerve to tell me I was being “unneighborly” and “selfish” for not sharing my driveway. I’m honestly at a loss—she’s acting like I’m the one being difficult here!

Wow! That is beyond rude.

Let’s check out what the people over at Reddit think about this lady and the parking situation.

For this reader, a tow truck is the only answer.

According to this comment, she deserves a warning.

Here’s how to turn it around on her.

Right???

This woman is something else. It sounds like he may need help from a tow truck to get it through to her.
