Imagine having someone knock on your door, and it’s a construction worker who is working at your neighbor’s house. He has a simple question. He wants to know if it’s okay to park in front of your house on the side of the street.

At first, you might think that it’s polite of him to ask instead of just assuming it’s okay to park there. At least, I would. And like the homeowner in this story, I would probably also agree that it’s okay.

But that’s where the story you’re about to read really begins, because the worker didn’t really make his real intentions clear.

Now, the homeowner is upset and unsure what to do.

Let’s read all about it.

Would you let your neighbors tree company park their equipment on your lawn?

So I’ve got some nasty old people neighbors who think everyone works for them.

Frankenstein the husband and his wife broom Hilda have workers come to their house almost daily.

They can’t lift one of their own fingers… and they treat other neighbors like they are the boss of the neighborhood..

I’ve got years of stories but the latest had me steaming today..

This is annoying!

A worker showed up on my doorstep and asked if it was ok if they “parked” on my side of the street… he didn’t say “on your lawn” and he pointed in a direction that wasn’t my lawn…

Fast forward 30 mins and I look out and 2 HUGE trucks are planted on my front lawn WITH trailers… (I have a fence so they were on the other side of the fence)…

I figured welp that little liar pulled it off so I let it go…

This is awful!

Fast forward to the end of the day…. I look out the window and they are loading 2 skid steer machines on the trailers ON MY LAWN!!

I went out and poked around and yup.. skid steer ruts…. They also took the liberty of parking a giant wood chipper trailer on the other side of my driveway which sunk the surface down 6”…

What would you do? (I spent $1500 having my lawn redone 5 years ago after major construction)

There’s a big difference between parking on the side of the street and parking in someone’s lawn! Let’s see if Reddit has some advice.

If you enjoyed this story, check out this post about a renter who receives a text saying his landlord has passed and asking for checks to go to a different account, but he’s not sure it’s real.
Another person was in a similar situation.

Being nice can really backfire.

It was nice of the worker to ask, but it’s too bad the worker lied. If he had been honest about what he wanted to do, OP obviously would’ve said no. The homeowner had better confront the workers now before his yard gets even more damaged.
