Don’t you hate it when people completely misread the situation and accuse you of doing something you’re not actually doing? It’s even worse when what they’re accusing you of doing is actually awful.

In this story, one person is in this situation, and it’s all because of where he parks his car. He was simply trying to park it in a place where nobody would complain and where he could easily leave for work.

But his neighbors think he’s a creep, and they’ve blasted lies about him on social media!

Now, he’s not sure how to handle the situation.

Let’s read all about it.

Don’t park there! And other fun things about my neighbour.

3 main parties for this story. Bob, Rosie and Myself.

I live in the UK. I don’t have a drive I can use. I have a car.

Rosie said I could park in front of her fence last year.

Bob said I was blocking him in.

So OP found somewhere else to park.

This was last year so I moved and now park in a turning circle sort of place. Vehicles can still turn so i’m not a nuisance.

For months i’ve noticed whenever I pull up whether it be after midnight after a night shift. Or late afternoon I see bob standing there, staring at me.

ALL THE TIME.

I reverse into “the space” so my car can immediately drive off as I work in a job which could require me to be there asap. I don’t need the hassle of turning around as this can easily be a 10 minute process depending on how busy the road is.

This is outrageous!

Anyway I find out yesterday Bob’s wife has posted on the local area’s facebook page calling me a creep. Saying I’m staring through their window so I can look at her daughters.

Lovely allegations which can destroy someone’s life.

First and foremost the issue is i’m not like that. don’t hide that. I feel like this may be them trying to stir up more local hatred on terf island.

OP just wants to decompress.

I sit in my car after work as i still live at home with family so decompress by sitting there and essentially disassociating.

That is why I know bob is always staring before anyone wonders as I see the movement .

I don’t want to respond to the facebook post. I don’t want to speak to them in person as they’ve screamed at me before.

WWYD? How do i proceed? I mean apart from parking the other way but it feels like no matter what I do bob has a vendetta against me.

Bob and his family sound awful. They’re wrong about OP being a creep, but they should put up curtains if they’re worried about someone looking in their house.

Let’s see how Reddit responded.

Here’s a good suggestion.

Another person thinks OP needs to reply to the comments to clear his name.

Here’s an interesting idea.

If you enjoyed this story, check out this post about a woman who went a month without water because her neighbor refused to let workers on “his” easement.

Maybe he should decompress somewhere else.

It’s too bad that Bob and his wife are misreading this whole situation. I agree that OP needs to clear his name by responding to the Facebook post. Maybe he should also walk up to Bob when he gets out of the car and try to strike up a friendly conversation.

Sitting in your car doesn’t make you a creep, but I can understand the confusion. This is where communicating can be quite helpful instead of assuming and blaming.
