A neighbour row has engulfed a residential street after a homeowner blasted an "entitled" homeowner who believes that "he controls the parking".
The "controlling" man even goes so far as to inform visitors that they are not allowed to leave their cars along the residential street, according to one angry resident.
Additionally, according to the local, his neighbour frequently sits on his porch and "stares" at his house.
After one instance when the neighbour told the man's guests they cannot park in front of his home, the verbal spat evolved into the "controlling" neighbour placing traffic cones along the road to prevent people from parking there altogether.

The territorial behaviour has created an uncomfortable atmosphere on the street, as visitors now have been increasingly challenged about where they leave their vehicles.
The situation reached a new level when the resident caught his neighbour "in the rain, placing a cone in front of my house to reserve a spot for one of his friends".
The incident in question was captured on camera, providing evidence of the man's unneighbourly actions.
Ironically, the resident admitted he had also used a cone once last month, which his neighbour kicked away.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
He said: "It was the only time I've ever placed a cone to reserve a spot since I don't have a driveway, and my disabled dad needed frequent trips to the hospital."
The neighbour reportedly believes he's entitled to control the parking spaces because his friends, who visit almost daily, need to park close to his house.
Meanwhile, Reddit users were quick to point out that neither resident has any legal claim to roadside parking.
The consensus among the majority of commenters was that if there isn't a car parked in a space when needed, the resident should simply move the neighbour's cone out of the way.

Several users also suggested investigating the possibility of obtaining a designated disabled parking space through the local council, given the resident's father's medical needs.
One Reddit user advised: "Move his cone and park there. Meanwhile, talk to the right city department and find out the laws and try to get a handicapped spot in front of the house. Neighbour is a jerk!"
Another was more confrontational: "You BOTH know he can't tell anyone where to park on a public street. I'd park ON the cone to let him know it's game on."
A third commenter criticised both parties: "You don't own the spots, either of you. Stop using cones. I was on your side, but when you said you also put out cones, that's just wrong, and you're both immature."
