'Entitled neighbour drives through my garden to park their car - I'm so fed up'
A man is seeking advice on how to handle his entitled neighbour who keeps driving through his garden to park their car after work - as he explains how it is ruining his lawn
A man has blasted his 'entitled' neighbour for repeatedly driving through his garden to park his car, tearing up the lawn in the process.
After failed attempts at a peaceful resolution, he's turned to social media for advice on how to put an end to the nuisance. On Reddit, hr vented about his neighbour's habit of encroaching three feet into his garden to park their vehicle.
This leaves behind tire tracks and a trail of dead grass and mud. He explained: "They have a double wide driveway with two cars and more than enough space to get in and out but they insist on driving over my lawn."

Despite asking them multiple times to stop, his requests have been ignored. He recounted: "I put up some reflectors ~1ft in from their driveway to give them some leeway. They just drive over them." In search of a solution, he asked: "Is there any recourse available or do I need to erect a more permanent physical barrier?"
The post went viral – and fellow Reddit users chimed in with suggestions. One advised: "I think there's like these spike things you can put down. They'll probably only drive over them once. I would actually probably put in some kind of garden with a small fence that would damage tires, but not look too intentional. Like pokey finials or something."
Another suggested: "Some folks down the street have a few really big quartz-type rocks in their lawn that would prevent this. No garden, just some big pretty rock along their driveway."
A third user exclaimed: "I've seen some dumb neighbours in this city but this one really takes the cake. Who the heck even does this? I'd set so many things up on my lawn to bust their tires and rip the underside of their car out, that they wouldn't have a car to drive any more." Another chimed in with advice: "If they are actually parked on the grass call and report to by law. They'll have someone out in a jiffy to ticket them as it is against the bylaws to park on grass."
