Every Friday, Susan looked forward to relaxing after a busy week, but her neighbor Jessica’s frequent parties kept ruining her evenings. Jessica’s guests often parked in Susan’s driveway, blocking her access. Despite multiple polite requests, Jessica brushed it off and told Susan to “chill” and park on the street instead.
Things escalated when Susan’s elderly mother had a health emergency. Rushing to her car, Susan found herself blocked in once again. Unable to move her car, she was forced to call a taxi to get to her mother. Sitting in the hospital that night, Susan decided enough was enough—this would not continue.
The next Friday, Susan took action. She parked her car across the driveway, preventing party guests from leaving. When Jessica confronted her, Susan pretended to be too intoxicated to legally drive. The police arrived, but seeing no legal violation, they left without forcing Susan to move. The plan worked perfectly.
Susan didn’t stop there. The following day, she brought video evidence of repeated illegal parking to the police. An officer later accompanied her to Jessica’s home, issued fines, and ordered compensation for the inconvenience. From that day on, her driveway remained clear. Susan’s clever solution quickly became the talk of the neighborhood, finally bringing peace—and her parking spot—back to her home.
