One kind neighbour had let her neighbours use her drive until one day she was so incensed by their actions she told them the could no longer park there
Most of us don’t mind doing the odd favour for our neighbours, but sometimes your good deeds can be taken advantage of.
That’s what happened to one woman on Reddit, who said she had been allowing her neighbours to use her driveway for their cars because she doesn’t own a vehicle herself so had no use for the space. And while things had been going well for a while, she became annoyed with her neighbours after they refused to move one of their cars to make space for a taxi that was bringing her brother home from the hospital.
She explained: “I don’t have a car and the house I bought a couple years ago came with a drive large enough for two cars. My next-door neighbours have always been allowed to use my drive because I didn’t need it. It really didn’t bother me because if I had friends over then I’d just ask them to move, and they would.
“I currently live with my 15-year-old brother who has very weak joints and has to go to hospital every month or so on average. A couple of months ago he tore the one in his knee and had to be on crutches. We were pulling into our street in the taxi after leaving hospital and one of my neighbours pulled into my drive, blocking our taxi from pulling up to the door.
