A neighbor left a note saying her guests would park in another woman's driveway, but the woman wasn't happy about it. She went on Reddit to express her frustration, and now the post is filled with comments from users.

Getting along with neighbors can make life simpler, but that's not always the reality. The joy of spending time with loved ones during the Christmas holidays is unmatched. However, if you're also caught up in neighbor drama, it could certainly dampen your holiday spirits.

She arrived home to discover a note in her mailbox.

The original poster (OP) explained that they've had ongoing parking issues with their neighbor since moving into their house. The neighbor used to park in their driveway, but couldn't do so anymore. Despite this, she would occasionally still try, which only stopped after OP had her car towed.

Later, when OP expanded their driveway, Karen asked for the second spot, but OP refused. Despite this, Karen still had the audacity to park there. As a result, the OP had to get her car towed once again.

Following this context, OP shared the note they received from Karen. The note stated that she had arranged for her guests to use both of the OP's parking spots during the winter holidays. She didn't ask; she just told. Now, OP can't even park their own car!

OP went to Karen to remind her that the driveway belonged to them and warned that they would call tow trucks if any other car was parked there. Instead of apologizing or requesting, Karen boldly stated that she would call the police on OP if they followed through. OP simply told her to go ahead and make the call.

The majority of comments recommended putting up a no parking or trespassing sign. While it isn't OP's responsibility, it could help him avoid further trouble. If she continues to violate the rules, towing away the car might be the solution.
