A man so fed-up with his neighbour's 'entitled' behaviour has finally sought revenge after two years. He explained how his "godawful" neighbour has been driving into his driveway almost every day for two years to get the 'perfect angle' to reverse into her own.

While he doesn't mind her using his driveway when he isn't home, she demands he parks in a certain way at all times to allow her to ensure she can get the angle just right. He said on Reddit: "I have had this godawful neighbour for the last two years, who is nothing but a pain in my a**.

"I only have one car but like to park at the front of my driveway (fully in my property boundaries) so that I can easily direct my dogs to the car boot, quickly access the car if I have to shoot off, etc.

"For two years I have been keeping my car further in as an inconvenience to myself because this crazy woman two doors down would demand access to my driveway so she can get to reverse park on hers because she is too lazy to turn around in the morning."

But when rushing his dog to the vet, he parked up in front of his house rather than on the driveway, not wanting to waste a second. However, she didn't take too kindly to this and tried to "guilt trip" him into apologising for his 'bad parking'.

He added: "After a recent event where my car was in front of my house rather than the driveway (emergency, had to rush my dog into the vets as he was gravely injured), she texted me to demand why it was there and that she couldn’t use my drive.

"I decided no longer am I being nice to her, so I parked just within my boundary. She went insane, first trying to guilt trip, next with anger. She is a full Karen in entitlement mode!" Commenting on his post, one user said: "Wow it is your driveway. She has no right to use it."

Another user added: "Text her back, 'Clues in the name my driveway, it’s on my property so I can park my car on my driveway however I see fit. It is not public access for those that are too lazy to reverse out of their own driveway. Got a problem? Take a few more driving lessons if your driving is truly that bad, but stay the off my property'."

A third user said: "Some people don't respond to higher levels of communication like respect. So you have to drop to a level they can understand. It's uncomfortable for decent people to do this, but sometimes it's the only thing that works."
