Shared parking often reveals just how possessive people can become over things they don’t actually own.

So when a woman parked her car on a public street outside a neighbor’s house, those neighbors responded with passive-aggressive tactics instead of a simple conversation.

Their overreaction would end up turning a parking spot into a petty battlefield.

Zero effort messing with my neighbor

A couple months ago, I parked in front of a neighbor’s house. Mind you, it’s street parking in a housing tract, not assigned parking.

All the neighbors are generally courteous and usually park in front of their own homes, except on trash day when all bets are off.

Well, I parked there and left my car a couple extra days due to a medical emergency.

This particular neighbor was not near as courteous.

Went to move it and found a rude note about not parking there.

I parked there again a few weeks later, and they thought the proper response was to rinse my car off.

Yes, they hosed my car off. (Which I admit is a pretty funny petty revenge.)

Since the neighbor decided not to handle things like an adult, this parker decided to stoop to their level!

Now, since they failed to walk some 200 feet to express their concerns, I decided to start parking there from time to time when I was only going to be home for an hour or so before going out again.

Since clearly this isn’t enough time to get their hose out, the new response is to pull their BMW or Mercedes out of their garage and park in the street to “block” me.

Now the parker is just having fun messing with them.

I won’t park there for a few days, then will do so randomly for a few minutes.

It triggers them moving their car without fail.

This woman really made themselves an easy target!

Redditors chime in with their thoughts.

People can be waaaay too territorial about their parking spots.

On the other hand, parking can be a pretty sore subject for some people.

Some homeowners will do just about anything to reserve a spot.

Often times, a parking slight is just the nail in the coffin for an already bad neighborly relationship.

Clearly this woman had no idea who they were messing with.
