A woman slammed her entitled neighbour for clogging the entire street with cars - and blocking her in her driveway.
She explained how she lives down a narrow lane and needs access to the length of it to park outside her door. However, the house next to her has been turned into a car repair shop, with customers now coming and going from the property at all hours of the day.
The woman says many customers 'abandon' their cars on the lane believing it all belongs to the repair shop - and this prevents her from returning home after work.
She said on Reddit: "The property next to our laneway has been turned into a car repair shop. We have always had a pretty good relationship with the owner... or so I thought. Now, to park on the west side of his building, they have to drive across the top of our lane from the road, which has been fine.
"But over the past few months, some of his clients started parking their vehicles in our laneway, blocking or obscuring the entrance to our property. I have messaged the owner of the car place about it and he has moved the vehicles, but it happens at least once or twice a week, and not too long ago a truck was left there for a whole weekend.

"The other day, someone parked a motorhome in our lane and I could hardly get in. I was fed up, so I called the owner and told him that he was blocking access to our property and that I would start having cars towed if it kept happening". She went on to explain how her mum, who also lives in the home, is in poor health and she's had to call the ambulance out to her a lot recently.
But in the case of an emergency, she's worried the ambulance wouldn't be able to make it down the driveway with all the cars blocking its entrance. She said: "The man told me that I don't own my laneway, and his customers could park there if they want to. He said the Township owns it. Now, the Township does have a right of way to access a creek and culvert, but we pay taxes on and maintain that land.
"I wound up telling him that it wasn't his parking lot and hanging up on him in a blind rage. My husband spoke to him and convinced him that we do, in fact, own our land. I am considering putting up a fence or blocking his customers from using my lane to park, which would effectively render a large section of his lot useless to him, if this continues.
"All because he thought it was cool to block my driveway, and then had the audacity tell me that he would keep doing it." Commenting on her post, one user said: "I'd skip the fence. He'd probably just file for an easement to get access restored. I'd get a contract with a towing company. They'll put up signs and they'll have all of the paperwork ready to go for towing them away."
Another user added: "An electronic gate, and he can pay an access fee." A third user said: "Put up a 'No parking, violators will be towed', sign and start having the cars towed. The jacka** will either reign his customers in or go out of business from the lost clients."
