A woman has slammed her neighbours as a parking row that has gone on for 18 months has reached boiling point.
Ellie, who posted the video on TikTok, showed the gap left between her partner’s Ford and her neighbour’s Audi as she claims her neighbour insisted on parking as close as possible in “retaliation” to not being able to get a spot in front of her house.
Explaining the ongoing dispute, Ellie said: “My other half is having wars with my neighbours and I don’t know whether it’s petty or whether to say fair enough. They like to park right up against our cars. They also like to move their cars so no one else can get in because they believe it’s their spot even though it’s a public road. What would you do?”
People were quick to take to the comments to slam the neighbour for their “dangerous parking”, with one person writing: “My neighbour does this. Every single night she parks so far over that she’s basically touching my car! Honestly I am sick of it.”
Clarifying how long the row has been going on, Ellie said in an update: “This has been going on for 18 months now and he’s had enough. For everyone asking, there is a massive space in front of my partner’s Ford. She moved her car that close to my partner’s boot – she took four attempts to get it close enough that she wasn’t touching us. This is not their road, it’s not their spot.”
Ellie added that the couple owned “two cars” and insisted on parking both outside their house – despite having to share the street parking with numerous other homes.
But some people defended the neighbour, with one writing: “If anyone on my street parks in front of our house then we report the car. It’s an unspoken rule. We’ll knock on doors to find someone to move it.”
Another wrote: “Some neighbours can literally turn your life into a whole nightmare.” While a third added: “Best option is to buy a £100 car, tax and insure it and park it in ‘their’ spot.”
And it seems dozens of people struggle with parking wars with their neighbours, with one person saying their neighbour also “parks so close to me on purpose”.
