The woman decided to let her son park his car out there to bring the dispute to an end

A woman has received some incredible advice on social media after getting revenge on her next door neighbours for blocking her driveway.

The resident, who took umbrage with the couple on the social media platform Reddit, found a solution after listing reasons why her neighbours' behaviour was unacceptable.

She said: “First, I completely understand that I don’t ‘own’ the road in front of my house and that parking there is perfectly legal but hear me out.

“There is space in front of their house to park.

“They have a 2 car garage and 2 car driveway (space to park 4 cars) but choose not to use their garage to park cars.

“There is very little space for visitors to park, but is usually spots available on the other side of the road, down a bit.

“This is my only street frontage and the only spot I can put my bin on pickup day.”

She added: “I don’t understand why she keeps doing this.

“My bedroom is at the front of the house so I am constantly being woken up be slamming doors and her loud driving music, as is my husband who works night shift. Speaking to her is not an option.

“We have had a previous run in with this neighbour when they threatened to kill our cat.”

A number of Reddit users responded with their own suggestions to the situation.

One said: “Put some big rocks there or a pile of gravel.

“Doesn’t block trash truck and if the neighbor gets chafed, just say you’re preparing for a landscaping project next fall/winter/keep pushing it back."

Another wrote: “Have your guests park in their driveway.

“When they complain, casually point out that they are hogging the little parking space that you have, and the guests have no where else to park.”

However, one user simply suggested the mother should park her own vehicle in the spot to force her neighbours to use their driveway.

The woman decided to reveal how she overcame the problem.

“My son has agreed to take one for the team and park his car out there for a while,” she revealed.

“He prefers to put it in the driveway or garage, but his car is the least expensive so his is the one that’s going out there.

“Thanks for all your suggestions. We will try the least nasty option first and go from there.”

Another Reddit user recently claimed she cost a resident £80,000 by informing the local city authority how neighbours had built a unit without planning permission.

Despite forgetting about the complaint, the woman later noticed her upset neighbours tearing down the unit after an inspection by officials.

The woman wrote: “Word got around our block that a city inspector was there making sure everything was being torn down.

“Based on what the materials and labour they put into their second unit I cost them over $100,000.”
