No, you can’t park in my driveway
So I live right across the street from a very popular public pool and the streets are often packed during the summer. There’s no pool parking lot. We’ve had issues with people partially blocking our driveway in the past, to the point where we now put orange cones on either side of the driveway which significantly decreased that. But that was historically the worst of it. Then comes along Entitled Mom.
I was walking the dog and just coming back to my house when I saw this woman in a minivan driving into my driveway and parking. She got out of the car just as I walked up to my door. The conversation went kinda like this:
Me: What are you doing
EM: Parking, obviously. My kids and I are going to the pool.
Me: You can’t park in someone else’s driveway
EM: There’s no other parking around and I have a lot of stuff so I can’t go like a mile away
Me: Yeah that’s not my problem. Move your car
EM: We’ll probably only be there for like an hour, it’s not a big deal
Me: That’s not relevant, move your car. My husband is coming home in 20 minutes
EM: So?
Me: So he’s going to park in his driveway and you can’t be there when he does
EM: He can park somewhere else, I assume he doesn’t have to carry a bunch of stuff
Me: Lady if you walk away I’m calling the cops and they’ll tow your car and then you’ll have to walk a lot further
EM: Yeah right
She walked away. I called the cops. They showed up and the tow truck showed up like 30 mins after. EM returned when the car was hooked up to the truck and they were about to drive away and let’s just say she was absolutely furious and the cop had to threaten to arrest her because she was threatening to sue me. Still flabbergasted at the entitlement of some people.
