A homeowner recently shared on Reddit about a frustrating situation with their “Karen” neighbor. The neighbor left a note telling the homeowner that her guests would park in their driveway during the holiday season, without asking for permission. This caused a lot of tension, especially since the homeowner had already dealt with parking issues with this neighbor in the past.
The homeowner explained that parking had always been a problem since they moved into their home. The neighbor used to park in their driveway but stopped after the homeowner had her car towed. When the homeowner extended the driveway, the neighbor asked to use the extra space, but the homeowner refused. Despite this, the neighbor still tried to park there, prompting the homeowner to tow her car again.
So, when the homeowner found the note saying the neighbor’s guests would be using their driveway during the holidays, it wasn’t the first time they had to deal with this issue. The note was demanding, and the homeowner was unable to park in their own space.
The homeowner decided to confront the neighbor and reminded her that the driveway belonged to them. They made it clear that any cars parked there would be towed. Instead of apologizing or asking for permission, the neighbor threatened to call the police. The homeowner wasn’t intimidated and said the neighbor was welcome to do so.
The homeowner had documented the previous parking issues, so they felt confident. Many Reddit users supported the homeowner, with suggestions like contacting a tow company or putting up a no-parking sign. Some found it ironic that the neighbor threatened to call the police over her own actions, while others felt bad for her guests, who might get in trouble.
Most commenters agreed that the neighbor had no right to use the driveway and that it was her responsibility to find alternative parking. They also recommended calling the police if she continued trespassing and taking action by towing her car if needed.
