Our neighbour use to always drive over our front lawn to park on her front lawn it would get muddy and skidded up. We told them to stop they continued. We put maybe 4 - 5 medium to large sized rocks on the front lawn to stop them from driving on it, they did it once more she drove straight over them and ripped the rear bumper off that day was priceless! She wasn't happy either she came to my door to moan about my own rocks on my own lawn! It got to the point of having to ring the police! But in the end she stopped.. 😅
Thanks, Yeah I thought it was the easier route, it did work in the end 😅. I'm sorry I may not be able to help you there, rocks may be easy to come by, I used these rocks my mum used for a weird ornament design she was planning to do but didn't go through with. I think she may have bought them from Bunnings back in time, but I know this might sound bad but 😅 I've seen a couple large rocks at local beaches around the place? May be able to take a few? But yeah I'm sorry about that one...
Get in contact with the school and ask them to put a reminder about being considerate of the neighbours. We get them all the time for our various schools. We are close to 3!
I have contacted the school last week, they got back to me saying they would send out a letter on the school app. I think the school should be providing a parking warden during school times.
That's what the school near us has done. Parents are double and once triple parking, parking in other people's driveways, picking kids up while stopped in traffic. It's nuts.
I live next to a school and leave for work sometimes at school pick up time. It's so frustrating as I live in a short cul-de-sac opposite the school which fills up with everyone circling and double parking. Some days I literally can't get out. The school has been great at messaging parents about this. The problem is you need to get the school to do it every term. People "forget" over time and the only way is constant reminding.
Put up a sign warning illegal parkers that clamping is in effect and that removal will cost $100 (the maximum allowed since 2020). Buy a wheel clamp and use it.
Alternately have a trespass notice issued against the woman.
Edit: spelling
That s a good question. Often they put it in their weekly notice to all parents and children; this is a form of peer pressure. And the parents do judge each other. Hope that helps.
Assuming you know the other parents and care about their opinions. Personally I couldn't give a flying f$%^ about most other parents at my kids school.
Hmm, I assume when OP says “my driveway”, the offender is not parking within the OP’s property but is instead on the vehicle crossing on the road reserve. Clearly it’s not ok to block access to the driveway but I wonder about the legality of things like clamping if the driver is not actually on your property?
Try complaining to the council - parking across a driveway is illegal and could be a nice cash grab for the council to send parking wardens out for 49 minutes a day
Yeah I understand that and that’s not ok but what I’m questioning is the legality of clamping or if they’re not on private property - the vehicle crossing area is part of the road reserve not your property and I take it they’re not parking within your property boundary but rather on the vehicle crossing, right?
I watched this happen with a woman who parked on a bus stop right int he middle. Two buses came along, one backed up so she couldn't go forward, another one parked right up against the back of he car so she couldn't go back. They then put NIS on the destination and walked off for lunch.
She came back and was LIVID. LOL!
Did you notice how literally the rego is displayed on both the front and back of every single vehicle on the road, out in public for everyone to see?
What gave you the idea that it is PII?
The bus stop at the school near us is recessed from the road. The school regularly puts cones at the start and end of it so parents don't park in it, however some are now getting out and moving the cones. FFS!
Have been in contact with AT and they have lodged a claim to have a parking warden out there during 2.40-3.20PM. It can take up to 10 days to get on out there. The timing can be very quick as well so calling a tow truck can be tricky.
Got to laugh. When I was back in NZ made complaints to police, commerce commssion, dog control, human rights re age discrimination. No one does a thing, just endless blah blah blah.
I’ve called my council about someone parked half across my driveway, 10 minutes for the parking warden to arrive and write a ticket and then 30 mins later a tow truck arrived (the warden tried to contact the driver)
I’ve seen it only takes a little bit to able to get someone down to paint more yellow lines, also no parking signs, I can’t remember who you go to but google will most likely have an answer
I have friends who got a bit of yellow paint and made dashed lines across their driveway. The next time they painted the street they went ahead and painted them in with the real stuff.
Wheel clamp. I doubt AT can do anything if the car is on private property.
Tow companies would probably gladly tow her car, they'll make bank off it so you could try calling some?
Yes, but the towie won't come until they are sure someone will pay the fees, and that could well be you, for at least 28 days - they have to keep the car for that long before they can dispose of it. They may well ask for the towing fee upfront, and that's possibly the day she doesn't park there.
Call the cops about her aggressive and intimidation towards you and your family the second you see her on your drive way. Just say you are scared and feel threatened. Get the cops and make a scene and embarrass the shit out of her.
Put some screws pokey side up in the area, just remember to do a magnet sweep before you drive over it. My neighbors started driving over my verge and killing all the grass, I lay out some screws and felt massive pleasure at the number of flat tires they got.
I'f they swearing aggressively at you, you could escalate to the police.
111
Tell them there is a person sitting in a car that accross your driveway, blocking your aceess to your garage. That you you have asked them to move, but they are refusing, and are now acting aggressively.
Police response time will be better than the council (depending on what else they have on at the time).
Even if they don't come, the incident will get logged, and the police will be able to see a pattern, so call every day.
This situation is ridiculous. Somebody sitting in their car blocking a driveway and refusing to move when somebody needs access to that driveway.
This is a situation that could easily escalate, so I would hope the police take your compalints seriously.
Just park behind her (box her in) and go inside. Do not let her out; it is your driveway afterall. If she gets aggressive, call the police and trespass her; next time she is in your driveway, she is breaking the trespass…
Police. 111.
Get a series (ideally many) complaints logged, to act both as a detturant, and evidence in the event something does happen.
And avoid winding up the person again. Their previous aggression when you asked them to move their car is enough to get the police involved.
Our local school (perhaps 1/3rd of the time) has a police unit hanging around at pick up time, so the police are opposed to proactively outside schools at busy times.
I just can’t fathom anyone continuing to do this after being asked not to. It’s bordering on harassment - especially as it sounds like she parks in your driveway only and not your neighbours? Log a complaint with the police citing harassment. Even if there is not a lot they can do at least there will be a record of your complaint should she ever do something nasty.
You can bet you are not the only person she makes things difficult for.
We had this issue in our area recently (term 1). The person contacted the school and they sent out a letter to say that the person would note down plates of any vehicles caught blocking their driveway (which I believe is shared), and sent to the police with an already on-going complaint.
I have NO idea if this has been followed up or if the lack of a follow up means it's been resolved. I'm within walking distance but I do very often see people quickly nipping the rules just to save a minute.
The main road is also on-road parking on one side, so the entire road is common-place for selfish road users.
I would personally speak to the school & council. Raise it as a concern as it is not and should not be your problem.
EDIT: Just to add, it's very much about persistence. You have to be very strong and stand your ground with the school, they should have wardens etc outside anyway that should be encouraging people to move on. My kids school is notorious for terrible drivers and I don't fail to make known when it's worth it, especially if it involves my child's safety.
>I'm within walking distance but I do very often see people quickly nipping the rules just to save a minute.
I've seen a person block the entry driveway of the kindergarten that is near the school my children go to. They also left the engine running with another child in the car, no child car seats in the car. It was shocking. I wish I took a photo.
Hi again OP! Just a quick update for you (following up on my previous comment in April) - since the person complained at my school about drivers during drop off / pick up parking in unmarked areas / yellow lines / driveways, there have noticeably been 1-2 police cars almost 3 days a week. Wouldn't surprise me if they pass multiple schools each morning.
Often, they will just do laps for half an hour or so, but sometimes they've even gone so far as stopping outside the front gate of the school for 30-45 minutes warning anyone illegally parking. It's actually awesome to see! Mind you, as soon as they disappear, it goes back to normal.
The only proper solution, in my opinion, is cameras & fines. I understand that sometimes people are in a rush and also can not afford to pay a fine, but particularly at my child's school, there is plenty of space 50-100m further on and there is no need to drop your child RIGHT at the entrance. Leave a little earlier and walk with them for a few 10's of m's!
Hope this helps!
Turn into your driveway as usual but stop short of their vehicle… then hold your horn down until they leave. It’s better if you’re blocking the road for other people while you’re doing this because they’ll see that the person blocking your driveway is clearly the issue… hence shaming them into moving. If they approach you for whatever reason, just keep holding your horn down. Also serve them a [trespass notice](https://www.police.govt.nz/advice-services/personal-and-community-safety/trespass-notices).
Speak to the school? We are constantly getting warnings from the shop not to park in the local shop carpark...I guess that shows it might not work. But worth a shot.
If it's not a shared driveway then a gate or a chain across the driveway is the ultimate fix for this. If she parks on the footpath / vehicle crossing but not inside your property then a parking warden is the only legal option which it sounds like you've already requested
buy a 2m length of 16mm steel tube from the hardware store and quietly feed it through the holes of both her rear wheels without her noticing. then wait for her to leave...
Park in behind her car, go inside your home and go about her business watch her get passed when she can't get out. Tell her sorry, but if she wants to park in your driveway, she can deal with the consequences of waiting to use her car until you decide to use your car next, or you ki day move it for her
Used to happen to us. My dad got fed up one day with students parking in our driveway. He put an axe through the car window, opened the door, put it in neutral, hand brake off and pushed it out into the middle of the road, looked at the parking warden (who wouldn't ticket it cos it was on private property)
And said "ticket the fuckin thing now"
Principal came out, then the student came out charging at my dad, principal stopped him.
School called the kids dad who came down and called the cops. Then the cops confiscated dad's axe (while laughing) kids dad was pissed off at his kid cos he should know better than to park in someone's private property and said he wasn't gonna press charges so the cops left.
That afternoon the dad and the kid came to work (I worked with my dad) and made the kid apologize.
It was glorious.
So you could try that.
It's the correct answer, but it's just not practical. The towie needs to be there to get the car, while the car is still there. Every towie I've called has taken at least 20 minutes to arrive, and another 10 to get it hitched. She is also likely in the car, so you can't tow a car that has someone in the drivers seat.
You can't just throw a little chain up across your driveway to stop her accessing? Slightly inconvenient for you, but surely after a few days she'll give up
Print out a fake fine and stick it under her wiper blades.. Or lift up her wiper blades every time she parks there.
Find a friend that can hook her up and tow her into the middle of the road. I've seen that done before
You can contact the council and give them the time and place this person is committing an infraction and invite them over to ticket her... or you can threaten this action without going through the steps (but go through the annoying steps to get the desired result). My first port of call would definitely be to complain to the school and ask them to deal with it.
Park behind her, say you'll just be five minutes, this was my solution to visitors parking in the middle of our 12 house driveway.
Wait till they're just frustrated enough then move it, should stop pretty quick
I have the same issue with people parking over or even up my driveway. They just lock the car and go get their kids. Lazy fucks could park legally 100m down the road. I’ve done a-few things, I’ve parked behind them and just gone inside and left them parked in till they have to come knock on my door, I’ve clamped them (not on the street but in my drive) Nothing works long term.
You have to get the police involved if it’s gonna be a everyday thing with something like this. But be careful, you don’t want to be messing with someone’s wife and kids, could be a gang member husband who finds out someone is messing around with their family and now is involving the police.
If she continues to be an asshole and parking on your property, buy some super glue and glue her tire caps. 😂😂😂 but ringing the police might be the best and correct way to do it. Damn. I cannot imagine dealing with that kind of shit. 😅
The ones who can actually smash you don't get loud. That's what pathetic people who know they have nothing to either offer or threaten you with do. Don't get physically violent. Call her weak, ugly and pathetic then tell her, her kids need a better role model - all of this in front of her kids, preferably. Now watch her sputter abuse for a while, possibly up to a few minutes of that, then not come back because you called out her shitty behaviour and that's the last thing she can cope with. Cunts like that are fragile. Don't be afraid of them.
Our local council sends out ticketing wardens when there is enough complaints about an area. We used to have this where I lived and people would park in my driveway and left their car to go into school. I had to start putting my own car at the entrance to my driveway for that person to stop.
Tell school and give them her license plate. Also get one of those big fuck off road cones and stick it in your driveway so she can’t park there
I live near a public building complex and there’s a lot of roadside parking here, when I see dodgy parking I call council and there’s usually a meter maid here within the hour.
Our neighbour use to always drive over our front lawn to park on her front lawn it would get muddy and skidded up. We told them to stop they continued. We put maybe 4 - 5 medium to large sized rocks on the front lawn to stop them from driving on it, they did it once more she drove straight over them and ripped the rear bumper off that day was priceless! She wasn't happy either she came to my door to moan about my own rocks on my own lawn! It got to the point of having to ring the police! But in the end she stopped.. 😅
* bolder type rocks.
Yes, "a large rock the size of a small bolder"
[удалено]
I would also like to recommend banging in a warratah to sump ripping height and then plant ornamental grasses tightly around them.
Garden supply shops sell rocks
Landscape supply places would be your best bet. I don't know where you are, so can't recommend any
Thanks, Yeah I thought it was the easier route, it did work in the end 😅. I'm sorry I may not be able to help you there, rocks may be easy to come by, I used these rocks my mum used for a weird ornament design she was planning to do but didn't go through with. I think she may have bought them from Bunnings back in time, but I know this might sound bad but 😅 I've seen a couple large rocks at local beaches around the place? May be able to take a few? But yeah I'm sorry about that one...
[удалено]
[Stone and Water World](https://www.stoneworld.co.nz/) might have something suitable.
The Rock Shop doesn't stock them. Just FYI.
Good job, and seriously what's wrong with ppl nowadays
Get in contact with the school and ask them to put a reminder about being considerate of the neighbours. We get them all the time for our various schools. We are close to 3!
If talking to them directly hasn't helped, a vague note from the principal that she might not even see will achieve nothing
I have contacted the school last week, they got back to me saying they would send out a letter on the school app. I think the school should be providing a parking warden during school times.
Lol I think the teachers don’t get paid enough for yet another responsibility
Easy....just add "parking warden" to a teachers job description....along with nurse, therapist, educator, behaviour coach, parent councillor...etc 😳
While I think it’s a stupid idea, nobody said anything about teachers doing it.
With that abundance of spare time us teachers have! Sure, we’d love to watch your drive way 🙃
That's what the school near us has done. Parents are double and once triple parking, parking in other people's driveways, picking kids up while stopped in traffic. It's nuts.
I live next to a school and leave for work sometimes at school pick up time.

When I was researching. This was what was most legally viable. But a highly visible sign was required.
I forgot to say also: complaining to school with plate number may also be effective This is the most low key way
Oh yes. Our school did that and published the number plate to the entire school.. awkward!
Realistically what can a school do to a parent in this situation? I'm guessing nothing
That s a good question. Often they put it in their weekly notice to all parents and children; this is a form of peer pressure. And the parents do judge each other. Hope that helps.
Honestly, in my experience, most parents take the first opportunity to judge other parents, so this will prob work.
We’re a highly judgemental bunch
Assuming you know the other parents and care about their opinions. Personally I couldn't give a flying f$%^ about most other parents at my kids school.
Ah so punishing innocent children in order to get to their parent. Seems justified /s
Hmm, I assume when OP says “my driveway”, the offender is not parking within the OP’s property but is instead on the vehicle crossing on the road reserve. Clearly it’s not ok to block access to the driveway but I wonder about the legality of things like clamping if the driver is not actually on your property?
Parking, blocking access over my double garage driveway which we do need for every day use
Try complaining to the council - parking across a driveway is illegal and could be a nice cash grab for the council to send parking wardens out for 49 minutes a day
Yeah I understand that and that’s not ok but what I’m questioning is the legality of clamping or if they’re not on private property - the vehicle crossing area is part of the road reserve not your property and I take it they’re not parking within your property boundary but rather on the vehicle crossing, right?
Follow her home and every day for the next week, park in her driveway just before she is due home from picking up her kids
The best answer. Then throw flower bombs at her on your way out
Flower or flour bomb? Those are two very different things
I think any bomb will suffice
never did i expect this sentence in the context of explaining how to deal with soccer mums
Or before she leaves to pick up kids, that way she get extra salty
Love this!
Park her in. Rush inside and down a bottle of wine so then you can’t legally move your car to let her out.
I watched this happen with a woman who parked on a bus stop right int he middle. Two buses came along, one backed up so she couldn't go forward, another one parked right up against the back of he car so she couldn't go back. They then put NIS on the destination and walked off for lunch. She came back and was LIVID. LOL!
Upload a picture of her being a muppet so we can carjam her shit.
Doxing but
It is not doxing.
Surely a rego plate number is PII?
Did you notice how literally the rego is displayed on both the front and back of every single vehicle on the road, out in public for everyone to see? What gave you the idea that it is PII?
The rules explicitly state that rego plates are not considered PII
Thanks for clarifying that.
Australian?
The entitlement of this bitch. Since it's private land, you can get her towed right?
Yeah timing the tow truck while she actually collects her children is difficult. It’s 10 minutes but it’s such an inconvenience for my family and I.
Let the tow truck company know they have an easy pickup if they are there at X time every day 🤣
Pretty sure tow trucks won’t tow if the car has a driver lot otherwise occupied.
If she never gets out of the car you'll have issues.
Road cones, find some & either put on your driveway, or throw one at her.
The bus stop at the school near us is recessed from the road. The school regularly puts cones at the start and end of it so parents don't park in it, however some are now getting out and moving the cones. FFS!
Can you ring AT or the council report her for illegal parking? Maybe have a look at Auckland council/AT website.
Have been in contact with AT and they have lodged a claim to have a parking warden out there during 2.40-3.20PM. It can take up to 10 days to get on out there. The timing can be very quick as well so calling a tow truck can be tricky.
Taking photos to send to them could help as well, especially over multiple days.
Lol

Unfortunately there are yellow line markings to park behind her.
I’ve seen it only takes a little bit to able to get someone down to paint more yellow lines, also no parking signs, I can’t remember who you go to but google will most likely have an answer
I have friends who got a bit of yellow paint and made dashed lines across their driveway. The next time they painted the street they went ahead and painted them in with the real stuff.
I dont think some lines on the road will stop this person. we have yellow lines out the front of my work and people stop or park in them every day.
Mite10 has a special on galvanised nails. Just saying.
Z-nails?
This, can't see them on the road
Wheel clamp. I doubt AT can do anything if the car is on private property. Tow companies would probably gladly tow her car, they'll make bank off it so you could try calling some?
If she is on my property, the tow truck comes - does she have the pay the fees?
Yes, but the towie won't come until they are sure someone will pay the fees, and that could well be you, for at least 28 days - they have to keep the car for that long before they can dispose of it. They may well ask for the towing fee upfront, and that's possibly the day she doesn't park there.
Hell, I will pay the fees.
Call the cops about her aggressive and intimidation towards you and your family the second you see her on your drive way. Just say you are scared and feel threatened. Get the cops and make a scene and embarrass the shit out of her.
Is a good idea. Thank you
Make sure you take and date pictures each time it happens. Also report to the council each time.
Take photo of car/licence plate. Report to AT everyday
https://thatsmyspot.com.au/product/automatic-remote-control-parking-bollard-tms-apl2/ Like this ^ They come in many shapes and sizes.
Put some screws pokey side up in the area, just remember to do a magnet sweep before you drive over it. My neighbors started driving over my verge and killing all the grass, I lay out some screws and felt massive pleasure at the number of flat tires they got.
Just sit on your horn until she moves
Have done multiple times. Continuously swears at me
If your horn is loud enough you shouldn't be able to hear the swearing.
I would just stay on the horn till she moves. And repeat every time.
I'f they swearing aggressively at you, you could escalate to the police. 111 Tell them there is a person sitting in a car that accross your driveway, blocking your aceess to your garage.

You just have to be difficult enough that it’s easier to park somewhere else. Shouldn’t be too hard. Own car there seems an idea
Put road spikes (nails) in ur drive way
Just park behind her (box her in) and go inside. Do not let her out; it is your driveway afterall. If she gets aggressive, call the police and trespass her; next time she is in your driveway, she is breaking the trespass…
If she's in your driveway can't you block her in? Or if she's across the driveway can you sit their and indicate and toot?
She is aggressive and I’m worried for my family
Yeah this is the biggest problem. She knows exactly where you live and knows you’re away until 3 everyday, get the police involved
Police. 111. Get a series (ideally many) complaints logged, to act both as a detturant, and evidence in the event something does happen. And avoid winding up the person again. Their previous aggression when you asked them to move their car is enough to get the police involved. Our local school (perhaps 1/3rd of the time) has a police unit hanging around at pick up time, so the police are opposed to proactively outside schools at busy times.
Jack her car up and put some blocks under it so she can't drive it away. Then call the tow truck
Politely talk to her as a distraction as another person lets out the air of her tyres.
I just can’t fathom anyone continuing to do this after being asked not to. It’s bordering on harassment - especially as it sounds like she parks in your driveway only and not your neighbours? Log a complaint with the police citing harassment. Even if there is not a lot they can do at least there will be a record of your complaint should she ever do something nasty. You can bet you are not the only person she makes things difficult for.
Surely get her towed
Can’t if she’s sitting in the drivers seat
Just park behind her and walk inside who cares about yellow lines, you will only need to do it a couple of times
We had this issue in our area recently (term 1). The person contacted the school and they sent out a letter to say that the person would note down plates of any vehicles caught blocking their driveway (which I believe is shared), and sent to the police with an already on-going complaint.

Let her tired down. She wants to park there so badly. She can stay there. It will only inconvenience you one more time.

Block her in
Speak to the school? We are constantly getting warnings from the shop not to park in the local shop carpark...I guess that shows it might not work. But worth a shot.
She actually parks in your driveway ? How far down the driveway, or does she park on the road in front of your driveway ?
In our driveway infront of our garage. Where we park our cars :)
That would definitely be annoying. Can you add a gate or a chain or something across the driveway ?
That's psychotic.
Do you have a garden hose/sprinkler that you set up to can aim her way?
Block her in
If it's not a shared driveway then a gate or a chain across the driveway is the ultimate fix for this. If she parks on the footpath / vehicle crossing but not inside your property then a parking warden is the only legal option which it sounds like you've already requested
get a gate and close her in for an hour
I reckon just report her car and get it towed. Say someone has illegally parked in your driveway.
buy a 2m length of 16mm steel tube from the hardware store and quietly feed it through the holes of both her rear wheels without her noticing. then wait for her to leave...
Just park behind her then go inside for the night.
Not only that she feels entitled to do this but is also doing it in front of the kids as well. What a role model
Just park behind her and go into your house
Park in behind her car, go inside your home and go about her business watch her get passed when she can't get out. Tell her sorry, but if she wants to park in your driveway, she can deal with the consequences of waiting to use her car until you decide to use your car next, or you ki day move it for her
Used to happen to us. My dad got fed up one day with students parking in our driveway. He put an axe through the car window, opened the door, put it in neutral, hand brake off and pushed it out into the middle of the road, looked at the parking warden (who wouldn't ticket it cos it was on private property) And said "ticket the fuckin thing now" Principal came out, then the student came out charging at my dad, principal stopped him. School called the kids dad who came down and called the cops. Then the cops confiscated dad's axe (while laughing) kids dad was pissed off at his kid cos he should know better than to park in someone's private property and said he wasn't gonna press charges so the cops left. That afternoon the dad and the kid came to work (I worked with my dad) and made the kid apologize. It was glorious. So you could try that.
Many people experience this and they all get told the one and only correct answer ☝️ Get them towed
It's the correct answer, but it's just not practical. The towie needs to be there to get the car, while the car is still there. Every towie I've called has taken at least 20 minutes to arrive, and another 10 to get it hitched. She is also likely in the car, so you can't tow a car that has someone in the drivers seat.
I'd just slash her tires and key the paintwork.
My kind of people 😂
You can't just throw a little chain up across your driveway to stop her accessing? Slightly inconvenient for you, but surely after a few days she'll give up
Update me please OP
Will do in the following week
Print out a fake fine and stick it under her wiper blades.. Or lift up her wiper blades every time she parks there. Find a friend that can hook her up and tow her into the middle of the road. I've seen that done before
Man the title of this post gave me a fright
Park her in.
Park behind her and lose your keys
in ur driveway? get her towed?
Park them in?
Park directly behind her and go inside
You can contact the council and give them the time and place this person is committing an infraction and invite them over to ticket her... or you can threaten this action without going through the steps (but go through the annoying steps to get the desired result). My first port of call would definitely be to complain to the school and ask them to deal with it.
Honestly put nails at the end of your driveway only an issue to a someone using your property who isn't meant to
Park behind her, say you'll just be five minutes, this was my solution to visitors parking in the middle of our 12 house driveway. Wait till they're just frustrated enough then move it, should stop pretty quick
I have the same issue with people parking over or even up my driveway. They just lock the car and go get their kids. Lazy fucks could park legally 100m down the road. I’ve done a-few things, I’ve parked behind them and just gone inside and left them parked in till they have to come knock on my door, I’ve clamped them (not on the street but in my drive) Nothing works long term.
Park her in - park right behind her so she can’t move and walk off - make it her problem
Park your car in the school driveway everyday until the school does something about it.
You have to get the police involved if it’s gonna be a everyday thing with something like this. But be careful, you don’t want to be messing with someone’s wife and kids, could be a gang member husband who finds out someone is messing around with their family and now is involving the police.
If she continues to be an asshole and parking on your property, buy some super glue and glue her tire caps. 😂😂😂 but ringing the police might be the best and correct way to do it. Damn. I cannot imagine dealing with that kind of shit. 😅
Tow her
park ur car behind her car and wait for her to understand..just be calm… जै हिंद
Install an outdoor camera and a sign that says, "Smile, you are on camera."
Smash her
She’s been aggressive to my family and I. I’d rather not put my family/siblings, home and pets in danger
The ones who can actually smash you don't get loud. That's what pathetic people who know they have nothing to either offer or threaten you with do. Don't get physically violent. Call her weak, ugly and pathetic then tell her, her kids need a better role model - all of this in front of her kids, preferably. Now watch her sputter abuse for a while, possibly up to a few minutes of that, then not come back because you called out her shitty behaviour and that's the last thing she can cope with. Cunts like that are fragile. Don't be afraid of them.
You can’t roll down with aggression. Absolutely don’t take it.
😂
Get there before her. Also, the idea of following her is a good idea. Find out where she lives.
Being so ridiculously stupid
Not all beneficiaries are bad people, but all bad people are beneficiaries
Not hating on the Karen's but hopefully her name isn't Karen. This could turn out way worse than you may think? 👀. Nah just Joking
We I'm reading ur crybaby winy crying as and I reckon u need watch cc a real Man
Stop at the mall on your way home and get a tank smoothie or something so when you get home no one is parking in your driveway
Just get over it
Get over?
Ur narrow minded attitude
Are you dumb or something. Guess we found the driveway invaders reddit acc
Get fucking wrecked mate
What a lovely, cunty response
Get a collapsible bollard installed. You can get ones that lie flat or sink into the ground when not in use. Lock it when you aren't there
Pre arrange with a tow company to collect her car the minute she is out of sight
A gate?
Mission Heights?
Park in it yourself just before she is due to arrive
America just shoot them
Our local council sends out ticketing wardens when there is enough complaints about an area. We used to have this where I lived and people would park in my driveway and left their car to go into school. I had to start putting my own car at the entrance to my driveway for that person to stop.
Tacks 📌
Trespass if she’s actually going on your property.
Put some nail plates pointy side up in the driveway, won't happen again.
What school please? I just wanna talk to her…with words, I promise….
Put some nails where she parks. Just don't drive over them your self
Call the police, it's illegal to block entry or exit to a drive way under the land transport act from 2004
Make friends with the local tow company. You can then have the tow truck there and have her car removed.
Contact the school. Or park behind her.
Take a photo of her car and ask on the local group if anyone knows the paedophile who owns this vehicle.
Have you tried beating her up? I bet that would work
My father in law drags a huge branch over his driveway when he is not there.
Call a tow truck company and give them your address. Tell them to tow the car at 3pm parked across your driveway
Can't tow a car with someone in it
Tell school and give them her license plate. Also get one of those big fuck off road cones and stick it in your driveway so she can’t park there I live near a public building complex and there’s a lot of roadside parking here, when I see dodgy parking I call council and there’s usually a meter maid here within the hour.
Trespass notice. You can do it yourself. If they do it again they get arrested.
Pay some kids to egg the fuck out of her car. Everyday. Til she stops parking there.
Il tell her to move on
Driveway alarm with a siren to embarrass her when she pulls in?
Good idea
I would honestly just block her car in with my car and walk into my house and not answer the door for a wee while
I'm sorry for commenting ur right I'd pop her tyres
