A neighbour from hell is defending a parking spot near their home and asking anyone who parks in it to drive on, with the nightmare situation soon to be dealt with by a resident
A resident has shared their horror parking story which has left them worrying where they can park. A neighbour from hell has made it clear they don’t want anyone parking near their home, much to the annoyance of an anonymous resident who believes they have only one option in this situation.
In a post to the r/NeighboursfromHell Reddit page, the resident shared they were being told to move their car if it was so much as near the house of their neighbour. The on street parking situation for terraced houses can often be a free for all, but when a space is free it’s good enough for most.
Not the neighbour from hell though, who has twice now told the resident to move their car from a designated spot. They took to the forum and wrote: “Neighbour is making parking situation awkward on terraced street.
“I don’t particularly care about parking my car right outside my house, if I can that’s great, if not I’ll go somewhere else. There’s normally spaces within 10m from the house.
“One of my neighbours really really really cares about parking outside their house to the point that it is so awkward for me like, if I see a space I’ll park in it, a space outside their house that is close to my house is fair game to me.
“But twice now in the past two weeks I have parked and had a man instantly come out the house and ask me to move, when I said, ‘Oh why can’t your wife park somewhere else?’, he was like oh kid/shopping etc. It is the kind of question where I just feel like a d**k if I say no/don’t move.
“The other space that he wanted me to move to was literally metres away. Further from my house so less convenient for me, and like 4m from this house’s door.
“But it just felt so so awkward especially as a younger woman because when he asked, ‘Can you move over there’ I felt like I can’t really say no?
“Because nothing is actually stopping me moving my car but like surely it is just first come first served, there’s no assigned parking, there was other spaces around so it isn’t like the wife couldn’t park anywhere.”
Members of the public were unanimous with their suggestion, which was to simply ignore their neighbour’s request. One person wrote: “As a younger woman, you can say no, and it’s time to learn how.
“If you want to avoid tension, just answer with a smile and, ‘Not this time.’ Say that every time. Every time. You’re not being confrontational, and eventually he’ll get the message.”
Another person added: “I would just keep walking. Have some ear buds on or have your phone on your ear. He is looking for trouble.”
A third wrote: “Just say no. Or don’t say anything. Just stare at him blankly as you lock your car, then walk away.”
