A man has slammed his neighbour for ordering him to give up part of his driveway during the sunniest months of the year – but he outright refused to comply
A man has been left outraged after his ‘entitled’ neighbour ordered him to give up part of his driveway so she can build a pool on it. He explained how he has had little to no contact with his next door neighbour for the seven years he has lived in his house – but she recently came to him with a ‘ridiculous’ demand.
Taking to Reddit, he said: “My house has a very long driveway. The driveway leads up a hill to my house at the top. The bottom quarter of the driveway is shared by my two neighbours. They have to drive up it to get into their garages. My side yard over looks one neighbour’s backyard while my backyard overlooks the other’s backyard. My pool is in my backyard.”
After giving him “dirty looks” for years, she approached him recently to demand he does her a ‘favour’. He added: “Basically, she wants me to give her my driveway so she can build an in-ground pool for her kids.”
However, he’s not best pleased by this idea. He continued: “Her kids are a nightmare and she has never controlled them. She just lets them run around and do whatever they want all day.
“I still don’t fully understand why she needs the rights to my driveway to do that, but she did not like being told no.”
Not wanting her to spoil his day, he decided to go out with his wife and children – and put his ‘entitled’ neighbour to the back of his mind for a few hours.
However, by the time he returned home, she’d completely blocked off his driveway with traffic cones.
He added: “I moved them over to block her garage and texted her to let her know.”
With that, she lashed out at him over text message and bluntly told him that he wouldn’t stop her from going through with her plans.
He said: “She says that she is going to build her pool with or without my signature and that I should sign. In the end, she says to do the right thing, and calls me a b****.”
Confused, he has taken to social media to vent and ask for advice on how to handle this situation moving forward.
Commenting on his post, one user said: “What the actual F man. Going to take your driveway and your house? Where do people get this sense of entitlement?
“I would get the property lines marked and build a brick wall. Make sure to have a mural of a pool painted on the outside so she can see what it would have looked like.”
Another user added: “Man, if you don’t follow up with an update once this all crashes and burns on her, then I’m going to come steal your driveway.”
A third user said: “I would check with whatever council or department is in charge of this kind of stuff.
“I wouldn’t put it past her to forge your signature to get what she wants for her precious angels. This kind of person doesn’t think rules apply to them and think they won’t get caught.”
