Sharing and neighbors aren’t two words that coincide very well.

Neighbors often aren’t good about sharing, especially when it comes to parking.

In this story, one family shares a parking lot with their neighbors. You can probably already understand the drama that’s about to happen without reading another word.

But keep reading because it’s quite a lot of drama. The police were even called.

Let’s read all about it.

Parking lot NFH

My late FIL’s home has a parking lot that is half on his property, and half on the neighbors.

The neighbors home was sold, and is rented out.

The renters are AWFUL.

The problem involves the parking lot.

They kept creeping into my father in laws parking spaces. To the point where, they started yelling at our family for parking there!

My husband told them to get over it, the border is obvious. ( there is a fence line in their back yard that goes through the parking lot).

The renter got loud and stupid. Cops were called.

They had a survey done showing they had even LESS PARKING than they thought, and the owner put in this wood strip to keep US on our side( LOL)

The problem continues.

Now, the renters are ignoring it, and once again, taking up all of the parking.

The spaces are clearly marked with house numbers.

My husband went by yesterday morning, and they had to move cars for him to park.

He said something about the survey, and they said yeah, we know all about it.

Oh no!

He left and then I stopped by a few hours later with my son to mow the lawn.

They had MOVED THE CARS BACK.

I had no place to park, and had to use another neighbor’s spot, across the street.

The police haven’t been helpful.

Police were called, but didn’t show while we were there.

I am heading back over now, and will call the cops AGAIN if they are parked in his clearly labeled parking spots.

This is really getting old.

Next time, call a tow truck. Let’s see if Reddit agrees.

This person thinks there are two ways to handle this.

Here’s another vote for a tow truck.

Cameras are also a good idea.

And here’s a vote for adding a sign.

I agree with calling a tow truck. Forget contacting the landlord or the police. A tow truck is the best way to handle it and get the message across. Cameras are also a good idea.

The neighbors are being rude, so they need to stop being nice.
