I don't know how some of our neighbors can be so rude.....

Hi, Really, your neighbors are very rude. Some people are very irresponsible. They don't care about others. They just do the things because they want to do them. But while doing them they give trouble to others. But they don't bother about this. If we tell them that they are troubling us then they get angry on us.

Those neighbors should be taught a lesson like show some kind of respect for other people especially if the live behind u! I would have done something like what giftandbags did! Just not so much damage lol! I would have knocked on their door just a little too hard and softly demand they move their car. If they made a joke out of it then I'd move it myself. I would be kinda like Midea. Just not so loud. Some ppl just have problems. I once had this neighbor call the police in us every time she heard our daughter cry when she was just a baby. Our houses were right next to each other and we could hear everything that went on in there-I even smelled merijuanna coming from their house but I didn't say anything I was just trying to be nice but come to think of it I should have done something...thank god we don't live there anymore :) You should have the landlord post a Share the Driveway sign at the entrance or something. That way, there won't be any drama or awkward silences, I don't know if u care about that but that's what I would do. And if he can't do that then I will do it myself and take it to the city. Because I'm sure if u try to handle this on ur own u might be thrown in jail for taking matters into ur own hands...and I don't even know what the lease says but ask ur landlord. Have a good one friend! And I hope this issue with ur neighbors is resolved soon :)

I'm a little sensitive when it comes to parking because I hate it when people block my driveway no matter where I have lived. It even came to a point that I had to ask assistance from police one time a very rude neighbor threatened me when I asked to remove their car which they parked in front of my gate, blocking it and there was no way to get out. I asked them before and they said they wouldn't do it again. There are reasons why I had to make sure my driveway was clear because at that time my mom was sick and there were times that we would rush her to the hospital in the middle of the night. I moved away from that neighborhood and so far in my new subdivision I have never had that problem again because each house has their own garage and people here ask first if it's okay to park in front of your house while they have guests. They just don't park as if they own the whole block like in your case.

this is why i hate having neighbors. you can't just keep your distance and live in peace. it's like something they do has to over step there boundaries and get in your way. this is why i rent a single family house. no neighbors, no problems. i know that you have to do what you have to do for now, that you don't have a choice. i think it is plain rude and disrespectful them hogging up all the space. like my neighbors, they play mexican music......loud.... EARLY in the morning. we are the only ones who have to be subjected to it. since it's a single family house situation, this means that i shouldn't be hearing her music from my house, but i do. it's very annoying, so i understand.

That's just plain rude,you think that they would have a little bit of consideration for their neighbours. While I have parked in place where I shouldn't such as on double yellow lines, I make sure that I don't cause anybody else any inconvenience.For example blocking access from anywhere or parking in a disabled spot.If people used consideration for others in deciding where they parked it would make driving around much easier for everyone.

Wow. You are lucky trisha for having a car. Me myself doesn't possesses even one.hehe! It is really intimidating for they did not even think that they have a neighbors also.I think you should better talk to your neighbor and explain what you have been felt about the parking for them to be sensitive enough so that they will not do that again anymore.

This is common when we share houses or duplexes.We will have to be communicative and friendly with our neighbours .They may help us in tough times or better be harmless.It would have been good if we have a chat with them to make you place to park.SO talk be friendly :)

hi trisha I would have a talk with the owner or manager of your duplex and tell him or her that they have quests that are truly rude and park so you cannot get back to the back through that entrance. the other residents cannot help you but the managers can.this is very rude and most annoying. . y

I think those people are being rude and spiteful. They have enough space and they chose to let their guess park like that just so they can annoy you . We find people like that every where we go its like they live to get on your nerve .

Have you tried talking to the neighbor that has the guests that block the parking lot? Granted that neighbor should be more considerate but there are some people that believe the world revolves around them.. If you have already done that.. The other thing I would look at is the lease.. Sometimes there is a section on a lease that spells out what you can and can not do... If none of the above is not working then I would contact management... You live there you pay rent you should not have any problems getting to your apartment regardless of the time of day or night..Hopefully you are able to sort all this stuff out soon.. I can understand the frustration, wish people were more respectful of other people.. Good Luck

It happens all the time in my neighborhood. No one talks to no one, they all do stupid things, it's crazy.

I think they did that intentionally. i would get pissed and call them to remove their car.. What did you do then. How did you manage??

Some people just dont care about others. I have a problems here as my neighbors have moving playing all night 3-4 times a week. Here in mx police wont come out for that.

I am always told to get well along with neighbors when I was young, because only they can help me in time when I am in trouble. But I have heard that many people do whatever they like and irritate their neighbors. Why do not they think from others' perspectives? Maybe they don't regard that as a big problem. I think you'd better to have a talk with them, otherwise, they may be unaware of their rude behaviours.

Yikes, they sound like the inconsiderate neighbors that I used to have. I used to live in a quad apartment. It's a building with 4 apartments. On the street there were a total of 8 quads and the parking was somewhat limited. Ususally, there was plenty of space for the tenants but if there were many visitors, the parking got tight. There were quite a few times where I had to park on the grass in front of my unit because my spots were taken. It really didn't bother me at first but when it kept on happening I got a little tired of it. So, yes, I'm in agreement with you in that neighbors can be very rude. We live in a me first world and many people assume that they can just take what does not belong to them.

thats not good.ifi were in your place i will park my car in front of their cars were they could not get out then let them beg for me to move my car.let them a taste of their own medicine

We last lived in an apartment complex that had a long driveway in between the two buildings (the parking area was in the way back for everyone). Like your place, the driveway had only enough room for 2 cars to drive through. Most of the time people were considerate enough to park only on one side, but once and a while we'd have some idiot who didn't "think" and parked so no one could get through. Oh, and I hated it when there were gigantic moving trucks because then no one could get through - but I was more understanding of that because they were either moving in or out - so I temporarily parked in the street for that. Otherwise, I always had my manager's number handy on my cell so I could call and yell about the jerk who was blocking the driveway!!!!

Some people are so selfish. It's like they are afraid to walk . They should just be more considerate. Great Topic!
