At first, it was \u201cjust for a few minutes,\u201d but soon it was constant. Every time I confronted him, he\u2019d apologize, then do it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After months of frustration, I decided to give him a taste of his own medicine. Before leaving for a weekend trip to Vegas, I parked my car squarely in his driveway, trapping both his cars. A few hours later, I checked my phone mid-flight\u2014six frantic texts from Peter: he was late for work, his wife had a doctor\u2019s appointment, and he needed me to move my car. I replied, \u201cJust for a few minutes while I take care of business. Back Sunday. Neighbors should help each other out, right?\u201d Then I blocked his number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I returned, his cars were still trapped. The next day, he left without a word. It\u2019s been three weeks, and he hasn\u2019t parked in my driveway once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, the only way to make a point is to let someone feel exactly what they\u2019ve been doing to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/?p=71513\">also read&#8230;.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I bought my first home, I thought I\u2019d found peace\u2014until my neighbor Peter started parking in my driveway.
