Sharing a cup of sugar is one thing — but sharing property lines?

That’s where the neighborly love ends for what seems like almost everyone on Reddit.

This person is wondering if they can save themselves a few headaches by just letting the authorities handle it.

Check out the details below.

WIBTA for sending neighbor a cease and desist letter?

Last fall, we moved into a new house and less than two weeks later, had a baby.

We were pretty focused on the whole parenting thing and failed to notice how often the neighbor on one side was using our property for several things without any kind of permission or discussion.

It started with his kids spending their days in our driveway drawing with sidewalk chalk.

Things are bound to fall to the wayside with a newborn, but chalk sounds innocent enough — right?

We had to ask them to stop, because we seriously feared running them over when backing out of the garage, as they have absolutely no supervision or regard for cars.

Fair enough. This could’ve been a far bigger issue.

They stopped drawing and started using our garage door as a bumper stop while riding their scooters and bikes.

They physically bashed into the garage door and dented it. I asked them to stop.

After a dozen or so instances, they finally stopped.

Wait, now they’re causing property damage?

In the spring, we noticed that the dad was parking his trailer on our side of the property between our two driveways.

The property line is very clear with fences and different types of landscaping.

In addition, he was pulling his garbage cans through our gravel and making huge tracks.

As we’re in the middle of a pandemic and we have a baby, we decided to write a note and leave it with our information while also lining the property line with large rocks.

This seems like a good tactic. What’s not to understand?

Never heard from them, but they had moved the rocks into a pile and the front of our side of the property.

We moved the rocks back again and thought we had made our position very clear.

At the beginning of June the dad/husband came and rang our door.

Maybe he’s coming over to apologize for all these events finally.

He proceeded to tell us that because he’s parked his trailer like that since he moved in, and no one has cared before so we can’t care either.

At no point did he ask if he could park on our side or use our property, he said “It’s never been a problem and I should be able to do it.”

“Should” is such an interesting word to use in a scenario like this.

We politely said we did not give him permission to do so and explained that we intended to landscape the area and his trailer and use of our property would ruin the landscaping we had planned.

The entire conversation was difficult because he spoke over me the entire time and talked to me like a child.

At the end of the confrontation, he said we were “rude neighbors” and stormed off.

He acts like a petulant child. Maybe that’s where his kids learn it from.

Since then, he parks further over, moves our landscaping rocks constantly, and aggressively moves his garbage cans through the gravel leaving marks like he was zig zagging back and forth.

This weekend, I started taking photos as proof of his parking and the way he’s ruining our gravel with his garbage cans.

He came out and glared at me.

This all deserves to be documented.

I, very nicely, again, asked him to stop.

He replied “Why?” and when I said because it’s my property and we’ve asked him not to he replied, “Whatever.” and walked away.

Now, we come to today. I’m done.

I am so frustrated that this guy feels like he is entitled to unquestioned use of property that is not his.

Getting the law involved is a pretty definitive next step.

Let’s see whether or not the commenters on Reddit have to say.

Redditors were quick to dole out solid advice.

Some also noted his lack of respect for the homeowners.

And finally, a commenter tipped this homeowner off to the beauty of junk removal.

Anybody ever heard of respect?!
