PARKING WARS: MY REVENGE ON ENTITLED NEIGHBOR\u2019S GUESTS\n

Entitled Neighbor\u2019s Guests Always Parked in My Driveway \u2013 I Bet They Didn\u2019t Like My RevengeThe visitors of Susan\u2019s entitled neighbor Jessica continuously park in her driveway, ruining her quiet Fridays. Following weeks of aggravation, Susan devises a bold scheme to discipline them. The entire neighborhood is filled with laughter and admiration for her cunning after what happens next is unexpected. What was Susan\u2019s approach to the matter?\n

I had eyes I couldn\u2019t believe. For the last month, every Friday night, I had returned home to discover our street turned into a cacophonous chaos. It was the same way this Friday.A weird automobile was parked in my driveway when I arrived home. Anger welled up inside of me.Jessica, my conceited neighbor, was throwing another party. From her house, I could see the vibrant lights and hear the loud music. The car could not be removed by a tow truck without damaging the driveway since it was too small and had retaining walls on both sides. I\u2019d tried contacting one before, so I knew this.I slammed the door after getting out of my automobile. \u201cGreat, just what I needed after a tiring day at work!\u201d To myself, I muttered. My patience running thin, I marched over to Jessica\u2019s place. Jessica showed up as I got closer to the front door, a glass of wine in her hand. \u201cHi Susan! What, another fantastic party?\u201d She smiled brightly and replied. I tried to remain calm as I said, \u201cJessica, this has to stop.\u201d \u201cSomeone parked in my driveway again, and I can\u2019t get into my garage!\u201d Jessica gave a shrug.\n

\u201cWell, Susan, hurry up. It is only an evening. Parking is available on the street.\u201d\u201cThat\u2019s not the point,\u201d I angrily remarked. \u201cThis week is the fourth consecutive week. I just want to park in my driveway because I\u2019m weary.\u201d Jessica rolled her eyes. \u201cI\u2019ll see whose automobile it is by asking around, but I can\u2019t guarantee it. Let everyone enjoy the party and unwind.\u201d With a disappointed sensation, I turned away. How could she be that irresponsible? After a demanding week, all I wanted was quiet. I groaned and made my way back to my car, hoping for some silence and respect. I stood by for a few minutes. However, no one moved the vehicle, so I had to park on the sidewalk. I stumbled into my house, too exhausted to argue, and yearned for some sleep. Things worsened on Friday the following week. My mother gave me a call that evening.\u201cI have to visit the hospital, Susan. Her voice was faint and wobbly as she said, \u201cMy heart\u2019s acting up again.\u201d My heart fell. I was needed by Mom because her health was not stable. I promised her, \u201cI\u2019ll be there as soon as I can, Mom,\u201d as I hurried to the door and grabbed my keys. However, my heart fell when I arrived at my driveway. Guests at Jessica\u2019s party blocked me. Nervous, I marched over to Jessica\u2019s house. I banged on her door, but my sounds were muffled by the music.\n

\u201cJessica! Let yourself in! I have to exit my car now!\u201d I yelled, but nobody responded. There was no time to linger.I took out my phone in desperation and dialed a cab.I hopped in the cab and sent the driver in the direction of my mom\u2019s house when it eventually came. My heart was pounding with concern for her, and I was simultaneously frustrated and powerless. How could Jessica be so careless with her friends? I was late because of their reckless partying, and Mom needed me. Upon arriving at my mother\u2019s residence, I noticed that she was pale and holding against her chest. My frustration reached a boiling point as we rushed to the hospital. This was the last straw. Jessica\u2019s gatherings and her disregard for her neighbors had become annoying to me. There has to be a change.When Jessica\u2019s party resumed the next Friday, I finally had enough. I carefully parked my automobile to obstruct the guests\u2019 vehicles. I would repay them if they so desired to disturb my tranquility. After several hours, my door was loudly knocked on. When I opened it, Jessica was there, her face flushed with rage. Susan, get your car moved! She cried, \u201cYou\u2019ve blocked everyone in!\u201d I firmly stood with my arms crossed. \u201cJesus, no. Your gatherings and the trouble they generate are enough for me. I\u2019m not relocating my automobile in this driveway.\u201dShe looked at me in disbelief. She threatened to call the police if she didn\u2019t relocate her car. I shrugged, experiencing an odd kind of fulfillment. \u201cPlease give them a call. I would love to tell them why your guests have been preventing me from entering for weeks.\u201d Jessica\u2019s gaze expanded. That was not what she had anticipated. She blew and huffed, obviously annoyed.\n

\u201cYou\u2019re being unreasonable, Susan.\u201d \u201cUnreasonable?\u201d I repeated. I\u2019ve put up with this bullshit for the past four weeks. I nearly missed my mom\u2019s appointment at the hospital last week. This ends right now!\u201d Jessica stormed off, stomping her foot. I grinned to myself as I watched her leave. I would have been the happiest person alive if she had called the cops. Jessica was unaware that she had stepped into my snare.I slouched down on the couch in my living room and shut the door. After a little while, my door was again knocked on. It was the cops this time. I went to the refrigerator, got a beer, took a sip, and pretended to be unsure of myself before responding. An officer was standing there and appeared serious when I opened the door.\u201cMa\u2019am, good evening.\n

\u201cWe got a report regarding a blocked driveway,\u201d he stated, casting a sidelong glance at the drink I was holding. Officer Miller was his name. I smiled as \u201ctipsy\u201d as I could. \u201cHi, Officer! Howdy! Jessica, her parties, oh my! My driveway has been blocked for weeks by her party goers. I made the decision to repay the favor tonight.\u201d Miller the officer sighed. \u201cI understand your frustration, ma\u2019am, but you need to move your car.\u201d I gave a forceful shake of my head, nearly stumbling for impact. \u201cOfficer, I really would like to help, but I\u2019ve been drinking. \u201cWhoops!\u201d I made a scene where I tripped and caught the door frame. \u201cI can\u2019t legally drive right now.\u201d Officer Miller gave his head a scratch. \u201cAre you saying you\u2019ve had enough to drink that you can\u2019t safely operate your vehicle?\u201d I nodded, trying to seem very serious. \u201cYes, ma\u2019am! I have a valid parking space in my driveway. I have to breach the law in order to relocate my car. First and foremost, safety! Helloc!\u201d To be safe, I added with a hiccup. \u201cMaybe hold off until Tuesday of next week? I have a lengthy weekend planned.\u201dJessica stood close by, fuming. \u201cThis is absurd! She is intentionally doing this.\u201d Officer Miller turned to face her, giggling uncontrollably. \u201cMadam, she cannot drive if she has had alcohol. Furthermore, there is nothing we can do as long as the car is lawfully parked on her land.\u201d Jessica\u2019s expression reddened with rage. She cried out, \u201cThis isn\u2019t fair!\u201d I waved the beer bottle in a fictitious salute. Officer Miller gave us a glance while obviously trying not to chuckle. \u201cAll right, let us attempt to settle this amicably. It is your responsibility, Ms. Jessica, to ensure that future visitors do not obstruct Ms. Susan\u2019s driveway.\u201d Jessica hurried away while muttered to herself. I smiled as I leaned against the closed door. Perhaps now, things would turn out better. Who knew that acting inebriated could be so powerful? It was not quite over, though. I made the decision to go to the local police station the following morning and make a formal complaint. Who should I bump into as I enter but Officer Miller? He knew who I was right away.\n

\u201cWell, good morning, Ms. Susan,\u201d he grinned broadly. \u201cWhat brings you here today?\u201d I gave him the rundown on the situation and played him the tapes I had recorded of Jessica\u2019s visitors parking in my driveway on multiple occasions. Officer Miller nodded as he carefully examined the videos. He declared, \u201cThis is strong evidence.\u201d \u201cLet\u2019s go have a chat with your neighbor.\u201d Together, we headed over to Jessica\u2019s place. She was outside and was startled when she noticed us coming. \u201cGood morning, Ms. Jessica,\u201d said Officer Miller. \u201cWe need to talk about your guests\u2019 parking habits.\u201d Jessica\u2019s expression flushed. \u201cWhat about now?\u201d she yelled. Officer Miller didn\u2019t lose his cool. \u201cAfter looking over the evidence, we can see that your guests have repeatedly parked unlawfully in Ms. Susan\u2019s driveway. You\u2019ll have to pay Ms. Susan\u2019s reasonable compensation for the inconvenience and moral damages, and I\u2019ll be fining you for parking illegally.\u201d Jessica was clearly embarrassed and furious. \u201cSusan, stop it! \u201cThis is incorrect!\u201d she argued. Unable to contain my satisfaction, I remarked, \u201cMaybe next time, you\u2019ll think twice before letting your guests block someone\u2019s driveway.\u201d With a silent groan, Jessica hurried back inside. The neighbors were amused by the story when they heard what had transpired. My driveway was never parked in by anyone again. In the meantime, my mom got better, and I was able to enjoy my driveway alone for once. < It\u2019s necessary at times to confront conceited individuals and demonstrate to them the repercussions of their behavior. I eventually achieved my sweet retribution and peace of mind, but it required some preparation and perseverance. How would you have responded in that situation?\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
