Lady Doesn’t Have Time For Games, Calls Cops And Gets Neighbor’s Car Towed After They Block Driveway

The perfect neighborhood is one where all folks live together in harmony and don’t seem to thrive on drama. Unfortunately, since we live in the real world, it’s obvious that neighbors might not always get along, and conflicts are bound to happen. 

The problem is only when the folks next door take things too far, which is what one woman had to constantly face. When her neighbor refused to move her car, which was blocking their driveway, the poster called the police and let them handle the drama.

The poster was glad that she called the police, but also shared that there had been many instances where her neighbors had disrupted her life like this

The poster had been dealing with complaints and issues with the folks next door for a while, and they always seemed to come up with new things to fuss over. That’s why, when her kids said that they came back home to find a car parked in their driveway, she knew the neighbors had something to do with it. She had the courtesy to let them know that it was there and that they needed to move it.

It’s illegal for random strangers to park in private driveways, as it can block folks from leaving their house and also cause general annoyance. Doing so gives homeowners the right to call the police or get the vehicle towed. It’s also important not to get aggressive with the other person and try to resolve the situation calmly.

When the OP called her neighbor about the car, he said he would inform his sister-in-law about it, but nothing happened. Eventually, the poster decided to call the police and have them take care of the matter, since her children were alone and she didn’t want the situation to escalate. The police came and called a tow truck.

There are a few situations where it is acceptable to call a tow truck, and even the police or the local council can take the vehicle away. This can only be done if the car is proving to be a hazard. This might inconvenience the driver, but it also helps teach them not to repeat such behavior.

Unfortunately, the woman whose car it was arrived and began behaving aggressively with the police. She tried to fight with them and ended up getting arrested for her actions. It’s good that the OP decided to call the authorities, or else she’d probably have had to deal with a bigger conflict later on.

The woman shared that she had dealt with many issues because of the folks next door. They had trespassed on her property to use her pool, stolen her packages, and even tried to get her trees cut down. It seems like they kept trying to cross her boundaries, and she had to stay firm to deal with them. 

With difficult neighbors like this, it’s important to set clear expectations and minimize their intrusions. By directly communicating how you feel and confronting them when they are out of line, it will show that you aren’t backing down. 

Nobody wants to have a feud with the folks next door, but sometimes it’s important to set boundaries with them if they’re truly causing a problem. It’s also a good idea to record evidence of their interference so that you can build a case against them later, if the need calls for it.
