A woman has shared the “petty” revenge she got after her neighbour wouldn’t stop parking in her driveway.
Despite trying to maintain a friendly neighbour relationship, the 30-year-old found herself in an ongoing battle with Linda, who “constantly” parked on her property “without asking”.
She lives with her husband in a “suburban neighbourhood” in a house with a double driveway which seemed idyllic – until Linda’s antics left her patience wearing thin.
On , : “Over the past few months, Linda has repeatedly ignored my requests to stop parking in our driveway.
“Well, today things finally came to a head. I woke up early for an appointment only to find Linda’s car parked in my driveway again, blocking me in.

“My husband had already left for work, so I knocked on her door and waited for about 15 minutes, but there was no answer. I even tried calling her, but her phone went straight to voicemail.”
Running late and frustrated, she called a towing company, which promptly hooked Linda’s car up to tow it away, leading to Linda “storming out of her house, furious”.
The woman recounted: “She yelled at me and the tow truck driver, calling me ‘petty’ and claiming I could have just ‘waited a bit longer’ or ‘left a note’. I calmly reminded her that I’d asked her multiple times to stop parking in my driveway, but she wasn’t having it.
“She ended up paying the towing fee, and now she’s absolutely livid. She’s been telling other neighbours that I’m a ‘vindictive control freak’, and a couple of them have hinted that I might have gone too far. Even my husband thinks I could have handled it differently and avoided escalating things.”
Her mother-in-law has also chipped in with criticism, suggesting she doesn’t know how to “manage conflict like an adult”.
DON’T MISS [REPORT]
Following the incident, the woman claimed Linda has been glaring at her whenever she sees her, the woman’s husband is up in arms over the neighbourhood gossip, and her mother-in-law sees it as a “personal failure” on her part.
Wrapping up her tale, she declared: “I still think I was justified, but I’ll admit the fallout is a lot to deal with.”
The story has sparked a strong reaction from the public. One person chimed in: “Just tell the neighbours that you will inform Linda that she is allowed to park in their driveway.”
While another vented: “Yeah, this is like some sort of gaslighting situation. She has gone above and beyond trying to solve the problem and this neighbour left her with no choice.
“I would’ve called a tow truck instantly.”
