73 Jerk Neighbors Who Need An Urgent Lesson In Parking Or Common Sense
Imagine pulling up to your house after a long day at work, but the driveway is blocked by a neighbor’s giant SUV parked at a terrible angle. Annoyance instantly kicks in — not just over the lost space, but over the sheer lack of consideration. And that one bad parking decision is often all it takes to turn a friendly neighborhood into a mini battlefield.
To highlight just how these blunders spark petty street wars, Bored Panda has rounded up some of the most outrageous parking fails and standoffs shared online.
In this list, you’ll find passive-aggressive notes left on windshields, stories of stubborn neighbors locked in driveway standoffs, and the most absurd parking fails.
Together, these stories prove one simple thing: sharing a neighborhood takes at least a little bit of common sense.

My Neighbor Kept Parking Taking Up Two Spaces, So I Made Sure She Had Her Own Parking Spot
Kabuki Kitsune 2 months ago
This one's a bit... iffy. Note the stairs. Given how far that jeep is pulled into the spot, if they were in the slot where the stairs are, then they'd be blocking them completely. If this is a complex, then if that's their assigned spot... they'd have to either park askew like this to keep the path open, or park so far back from the stairs that they'd create a hazard. OP would be better served petitioning the parking lines to be moved to reflect a more reasonable parking arrangement. Ironically, lining up with where the Jeep is parked.

My Neighborhood- A Bad Parking Compilation
Kabuki Kitsune 2 months ago
I saw this from time to time when I lived in Salt Lake city. In quite a few of those "planned" communities, the HOA would ticket anyone who parked on the street. The solution was to park like this on the sidewalk, as whatever fines the city levied, were a lot cheaper than the fines the HOA would.

Random Idiot Decided Not Only To Park In Front Of Both My Garage And My Neighbor’s, But Also To Invade The Sidewalk

Parked ideally for people to decorate the car from their balconies. I suggest eggs (because they're easy to aim) coated in honey (hard to clean, sticky, might attract insects) and seeds (to attract birds).

Neighbour Thinks I Should Be Ashamed And Embarassed Of Myself For Parking On The Street In Front Of Their Home
Ever since my mum left a note on my neighbour's car (around 4 weeks ago) asking if they could move it back as it was blocking our driveway, I've since started to get notes on my windscreen about parking on the street in front of their home.
This is their 4th note, after I told them that I would continue to park based on availability as it is a public space.
There's limited parking in my street so I sometimes need to park in front of their home. It all depends on availability and I've been doing it for well over 6 months..so I don't know...
The aggressive double sided tape is what infuriates me the most. They've added more tape each time and the messages have gotten more passive aggressive (well now it's more of a personal attack).
I'm already having a rough month from burnout at work and this was just the icing on the cake ahhhhhhhh.

Pretty Much The Norm At My Apartment Complex
Sarah 1 month ago
Maybe they have an agreement? My work colleagues would often come in and tell another colleague that they've blocked them in because they couldn't find a space. When the blocked-in one went to leave, the other would go and move out of the way, then into the space. It seemed to work well for everyone.

The Entitled Karon Neighbor Put This On My Car Last Night On My Car. How To React?
Neighbour lady uses a really long extension cord to charge her Prius prime often and hugs two parking spots on the street. The space is only enough for 2 cars to park (then the next neighbour's driveway starts). It's in front of a small apartment building. Last night parked my car first leaving enough space in front of me for her to park her car. How to react to this? She's apparently very entitled. No idea what she means by management, not an assigned space.

My Mom’s Neighbor Parks Like This Everyday
Ophelia Poe 2 months ago
This is so disrespectful. The sidewalk is there so EVERYONE can safely walk, use their wheelchair or other mobility aid, little kids can ride their bikes or scooters, people can use wagons or strollers, etc... There are lots of roads that people choose to walk because they know there's a sidewalk and plenty of roads people avoid because they know there isn't. I hate when people block sidewalks. If you can't fit in your driveway park on the street.

To answer the question? Ground clearance. You can see with the way the road is shaded, that the road dips off toward the curb on the right. Odds are low as that car is, it'd scrape if it tried to park closer.

This one, OP noted quote "well, not really. this is a specific part of a residential area where you can basically park anywhere you like as long as you don't block traffic. the space in front of our house is actually a designated parking space." So... what the person did... wasn't illegal in any sense of the word. OP was just annoyed they parked there.

People would park on the red curb on the street where I work, making it treacherous to enter the street without hitting a parked car. So I complained to the city. First, they just re-painted the part of the curb where no one parks, then emails me they've dealt with it. I responded that cars still park there, sometimes as long as a week. Mind you, the street sweeper is there once a week, you'd think someone would issue tickets. So I complained again. One day, they painted the top of the remainder of the curb. Next day, I saw a tow truck. The next day, they painted the rest of the curb. No one parks there anymore.

This reminds me of a story. AT my nephew's birthday party everyone had to park on the street, which is allowed. Someone came out of their garage with a baseball bat yelling and threatening my sweet mild mannered MIL and SIL. Even his kid was there, yelling and waving a stick at them. Like W*F??? They were working on their car in their driveway but wanted to park it on the street in front of their house when they were done. And threats were how they communicated this. So MIL moved her cart and mentioned the incident to BIL and other SIL upon arriving at the party. BIL immediately went to confront the neighbor who ended up calling the cops on him. In the end the neighbor was arrested. A few years later I asked other SIL if those neighbors ever gave them any more problems. She said they installed cameras after this incident and had a few minor problems with them. But the story took a dark turn. Those neighbors had PROBLEMS. 1/2

Later their 11 year old son tried to a*****t a girl by crawling through her bedroom window at night. I don't know if it was related to that or not but the mom ended up k*****g herself and later the 11 year old k****d himself as well. 11 years old!!! Only the father and the other son are still alive. And my SIL ended up moving a year or two after the initial run in with the neighbors. It wasn't THE reason the moved but it definitely was a part of their choice to do so. It was so ridiculous being at her son's 5th birthday party and the cops showing up calling her husband to come out on a megaphone. The whole thing was absurd. Over a parking space!
