Neighbours blocked for parking on other's drive

And I completely spaced [out].
MICHIGAN (Web Desk) – A man came home one afternoon to find his neighbours had parked their car in his driveway without asking.
The man explained that he wasn t particularly bothered about the car being in his driveway, and thought nothing of it when he parked his own car behind it, meaning the vehicle couldn t be removed until he moved his first.
However, the man was then confronted by his neighbour the following day when it transpired that he d blocked their daughter s boyfriend from being able to leave, and they were furious - despite not having permission to park there in the first place.
In a post on Reddit, the man explained: "I mostly ride a motorcycle, but I have a rubbish car that I keep for grocery shopping or really bad weather. I was out doing my groceries and when I came home there was someone parked in my driveway. It s really not that big a deal to me. So I parked behind them and brought my stuff into the house. I watched a hockey game. Then a friend invited me over.
"And I completely spaced [out]. I went to my garage that faces my alley not the driveway in front of my house. And I took off on my motorcycle. The next day I got home around noon. When I checked my mail I saw notes in my mailbox and on my car. I had trapped some poor guy in my driveway. I honestly felt bad about it. I moved my car onto the street.
"Then my neighbour came over to yell at me for trapping her daughter s boyfriend on my driveway."
The man also claimed that while he was home for four hours before he left to visit a friend on his motorcycle, his neighbour hadn t come over to ask him to move his car then because she didn t want to "bother" him until it was time for her daughter s boyfriend to leave.
He added: "I apologised and mentioned that I had been home for nearly four hours before I left and they could have asked me to move at any time and I would have.
"She said she saw me come home but didn t want to bother me until it was time for him to leave. And when they came around ten at night I wasn t home. And they don t have my number.
"I apologised again but now I feel kind of stupid because they were parked on my property. And they chose to wait nearly four hours. What if I was home but asleep? I think that it was kind of a wrong move to trap the car. But it was an accident.
"I think that they are jerks for not asking to get the car out as soon as I came home."
In an edit to the original post, the man also claimed the road he lives on often sees cars get scratched if they re left on the roadside, which is why he had no problem with his neighbour parking in his driveway to keep the vehicle safe.
Commenters on the post were baffled by the exchange though, as many said he shouldn t have apologised for causing an inconvenience on his own property.
