A man has shared how he was forced to teach his neighbors a lesson after they intentionally blocked his driveway.
The unnamed man got his sweet revenge by having the neighbor’s vehicle towed away. But now he’s asking people online whether he was in the wrong for doing so.
“I’ve got a roller door which beeps quietly four times within 20 seconds of me arriving home and pushing the button,” he explained.
“It’s so quiet that at times I can’t hear it when sitting in the room adjacent to the garage when my partner comes home,” he continued. “I get home from work at 11pm and put my car in the garage.
“A couple of weeks ago my neighbor approached me and asked if I could wait until the morning to put my car away, but I declined as there have been break ins to cars on our street lately.
“My car is also one that is targeted by thieves a lot as parts are expensive, and it’s an enthusiasts car.
“I apologized but was firm when telling her that I will not, under any circumstances, leave my car out overnight.”
When he came back home recently, he was shocked to find his neighbor’s vehicle blocking the driveway. That’s when he decided to have it towed.
“Today (Saturday) I decided to play my drums around lunchtime in my soundproofed rumpus room. You can only hear minimal vibration from the kick from the outside, but it’s at the rear of my property and quite far away from any neighbors but they still had something to say,” he went on.
“The wife came over and basically said she had put up with my noise for long enough and that she was exhausted due to the kid never sleeping thanks to the noise I make.”
He continued: “I was definitely still miffed about the driveway blocking situation from the other night and snapped a little, telling her that I’d been considerate enough and already made concessions in terms of noise.
“I said that while it’s within my right to play music up until 10 pm in our council, I’ve cut myself off at 6pm in consideration of her and her kid. I said that from now on she’ll have to get over it because I was done catering to her and her family.”
When asked if he was in the wrong, one person commented: “They need to get used to a normal level of noise when sleeping. Obviously don’t vacuum the room they’re in but a neighbor’s garage door is something they should be able to sleep through.”
A third said: “It sounds like you’ve been very reasonable and you’re allowed to live your life. They chose to have the baby. Surely they knew things might wake it up?”
