A woman has been left fuming after customers from her neighbour's car repair shop keep blocking her narrow lane driveway - and she's now planning a revenge that could put him out of business10:40, 10 Jun 2026A woman hit out at her inconsiderate neighbour for filling the entire street with vehicles, leaving her unable to get off her own driveway.‌She lives along a narrow lane and needs access to its full length to park outside her front door. However, this has proven tricky because the property next door has since been converted into a car repair shop. Customers now arrive and depart at all hours, with some even "abandoning" their cars in the lane. This has made it difficult for the resident to come and go from work, so she sought advice online.‌The anonymous woman posted on Reddit: "The property next to our laneway has been turned into a car repair shop. We have always had a pretty good relationship with the owner... or so I thought. Now, to park on the west side of his building, they have to drive across the top of our lane from the road, which has been fine.‌"But over the past few months, some of his clients started parking their vehicles in our laneway, blocking or obscuring the entrance to our property. I have messaged the owner of the car place about it, and he has moved the vehicles. But it happens at least once or twice a week, and not too long ago, a truck was left there for a whole weekend."The other day, someone parked a motorhome in our lane, and I could hardly get in. I was fed up, so I called the owner and told him that he was blocking access to our property and that I would start having cars towed if it kept happening."‌To make matters worse, the resident's mother is in poor health and has needed the ambulance called out on numerous occasions recently.Her main concern is that, in an emergency, paramedics wouldn't be able to navigate the driveway because vehicles would be obstructing the entrance.She said: "The man told me that I don't own my laneway, and his customers could park there if they want to. He said the Township owns it. Now, the Township does have a right-of-way to access a creek and culvert, but we pay taxes on and maintain that land.‌"I wound up telling him that it wasn't his parking lot and hanging up on him in a blind rage. My husband spoke to him and convinced him that we do, in fact, own our land."I am considering putting up a fence or blocking his customers from using my lane to park, which would effectively render a large section of his lot useless to him if this continues."All because he thought it was cool to block my driveway, and then had the audacity to tell me that he would keep doing it."Article continues belowResponding to her post, one user wrote: "I'd skip the fence. He'd probably just file for an easement to restore access. I'd get a contract with a towing company. They'll put up signs, and they'll have all of the paperwork ready to go for towing them away."A second user added: "An electronic gate, and he can pay an access fee."While a third commented: "Put up a 'No parking, violators will be towed', sign and start having the cars towed. The jacka** will either reign in his customers or go out of business from the lost clients."
