A homeowner has been left furious after his 'entitled' neighbour demanded he give up part of his driveway so she could construct a swimming pool on it. The man, who has lived next door to the woman for seven years with minimal interaction, was shocked by her 'ridiculous' request.
Neighbour's Demands
Turning to Reddit, he explained: "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." Despite giving him "dirty looks" for years, she recently approached him to insist he do 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."
Homeowner's Refusal
The homeowner is far from happy about the proposal, describing her children as "a nightmare" and noting she has never controlled them. "She just lets them run around and do whatever they want all day," he said. He refused her request, but she did not take the rejection well. "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," he added.
Escalation
After refusing, the man left with his wife and children for a few hours. Upon returning, he found his driveway entirely blocked with traffic cones. In response, he moved the cones to block her garage and texted her to let her know. She then unleashed a furious series of text messages, bluntly warning him that he would not stand in the way of her plans. "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****," he said.
Online Reactions
Left baffled by the ordeal, he turned to social media to vent his frustrations and seek advice. Responding to 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 advised: "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."
