Jack’s repeated requests to his new neighbors to not park in front of his driveway fall on deaf ears, leading him to call the police and enforce his boundaries more strictly.
Awkward Struggle
Living in an awkwardly shaped cul-de-sac, Jack had always struggled with his neighbors parking in front of his driveway, blocking half of it and causing him inconvenience and frustration.
In Case of Emergency
Despite his repeated requests and friendly conversations, his new neighbors and their visiting family and maids continued to park there, making it difficult for him to leave in an emergency.
A Neighborly Dispute
Jack remarked, “It would only take them an extra 15 seconds to park correctly and leave me space, I don’t wanna have to ask permission to use my own driveway!”
He Called the COPS
After one particularly frustrating incident where he needed to leave in a semi-emergency and his neighbors had parked there again, Jack decided to take action and called the police.
Illegal Parking
The neighbors were cited for illegal parking and forced to move their car, but not before giving Jack the stink eye and making him feel uncomfortable.
Time to Cut Them Off
Feeling frustrated and fed up with his neighbors’ lack of respect for his boundaries, Jack decided to enforce them more strictly and cut off any further relationship with them.
The Neighborly Thing to Do
He realized that sometimes, being a good neighbor means standing up for yourself and setting clear boundaries, even if it means causing conflict or discomfort.
A Two Way Street
As Jack reflects on his experience, he realizes that being a good neighbor is a two-way street and requires mutual respect and consideration.
No More Citations?
He hopes that his neighbors will learn to respect his boundaries and make an effort to be better neighbors in the future and ensure he won’t have to call the cops again.
The Internet Responded
This commenter wrote, “They repeatedly ignored your legitimate requests. They got what they deserved. Can you check with your town’s traffic department to see it there is something they can do that would help? Like No Parking signs or a yellow-painted curb.”

Another person posted, “From this point forward every time a car is parked there call the police. They have been given plenty of notice, do not allow it to continue. Once they get towed and have to pay the impound fee they will stop.”
A Final Comment
This commenter posted, “I am floored by the audacity of people to park blocking half a driveway when there are other options available. I feel bad if I am within a few feet. It’s not a ‘parking space’ if you can’t fit your car in it.”
