‘My neighbour hogs our shared parking spot and vandalised my car when I parked there’

A man was left flabbergasted when his neighbour keyed his car as they parked in a communal space – and their other neighbour had taken issue with them over it too

Neighbourly relationships can sometimes become a little bit strained – especially when it comes to parking spaces. For some reason, there are few things that get people as riled up as a place to park their vehicle – and it can cause serious drama, ending up in sour spats between people living next door to one another.

One man was left baffled with “two sets of neighbours”, however, after realising just how protective they were over shared parking spots. The bloke explained his family have lived in their current home for a year, and there “are seven communal spots [to park] on the road” – but those spaces were causing some issues, that even led to his car being “keyed.”

The man took to Reddit to ask: “Why are people so weird about parking?” He then explained the situation, writing: “Moved to a new house last year, with one parking space. My wife had our second child in the meantime and has borrowed a car from an older relative while she’s on maternity leave.

“We’ve had problems with two sets of neighbours. There are seven communal spots on the road. After we had the temerity to park in a communal spot which one neighbour claims as their second space (as in leave their drive empty and go out and swap cars over to keep the communal space), our car was keyed and the neighbour doesn’t speak to us. The car had only been to my place of work in a secure, CCTV car park and back home, stopping for petrol.
