Here we go again…
It’s time for another edition of “My Neighbor Got Upset About How I Parked And Now He’s On A Rampage.”
Good times, right!
Let’s just say that this isn’t the first time and it won’t be the last time that we hear a story like this.
Check out what’s going on in this guy’s neighborhood…
Neighbor trying to start a parking war.
“At the beginning of the year my, neighbor who lives across the street and one house over from me started parking his truck in front of my house as close to the edge of my driveway as possible.
I live with my mom and we both could care less if someone parks in front of the house, but it seemed odd because this man has been parking his car in his driveway every day for years and I’ve never seen his car parked anywhere else.
A ha!
We eventually realized he was doing it whenever one of us would park our car in one of the spots behind his driveway. We never thought parking there was a problem since our car is only about half way behind it, and he never seemed to have trouble backing his truck in.
We have been parking in that spot occasionally for many years, so we were confused as to why all of a sudden he decided to retaliate. The street we live on isn’t narrow, and people have to park across from other peoples driveways all the time.
This guy has way too much time on his hands.
We continued to use the spot behind his driveway occasionally, and he eventually started coming home from work in the morning and hitting our garbage pails with his truck. He pushes them so he can get as close to my driveway as possible.
He has complained to my mom about petty things in the past, but we haven’t actually spoken to this man in about 15 years.
The most bizarre part is that when he parks in front of my house, he is directly behind my other neighbor’s driveway that lives next door to him who he’s friendly with.
She eventually noticed what was happening, and asked his daughter why he was hitting our garbage pails. His daughter said it was to get back at my mom and I for parking there, and that she and her mom don’t want to be involved.
This is getting weird…
When I get home from work in the afternoon and park there, he will immediately come out of his house and move his car to the other spot in front of my house. At this point his behavior seems extremely weird, and he has become obsessed with monitoring us on a daily basis.
I know people have had to deal with a lot worse when it comes to their neighbors, but I was wondering how crazy this situation would seem to others.”
