A homeowner has expressed frustration after their neighbour repeatedly parks in front of their house, even when the neighbour's own driveway is empty. The situation has left the resident unable to park outside their own property or accommodate guests.
In a post on Reddit, the user explained that the neighbour parks on the kerb outside their home daily from 8am to midnight. They noted that while street parking is a free-for-all, common etiquette suggests using one's own space first. 'My kerb is blocked daily, so I can't even park in front of my house when I need to,' they wrote.
Commenters on the post were largely sympathetic but pointed out that if the neighbour is not parking illegally, there is little recourse. One suggested talking to the neighbour, while another recommended parking in front of the neighbour's house in return. Others dismissed the complaint, stating that no one owns the road.
The incident highlights the ongoing tension between driveway owners and those reliant on street parking, with many feeling that consideration for neighbours should prevail.
