A driver has admitted throwing out of date cheese at a neighbour's car after they were blocked in their garage.
Writing on social media, the motorist explained that they rented a garage inside an apartment block while they were an undergraduate student.
But a row erupted whenever a vehicle was parked anywhere on the driveway as it would prevent access to the three garages.
Reddit user @peachfruitscato said other drivers would block the driveway for a period of time with some parking their vehicles overnight.

The neighbour said it became apparent that the "main culprits" were a group of men who lived on the floor above who "laughed" when the issue was brought up.
The tenant attempted to contact the landlord but after receiving nothing back, decided to take matters into his own hands.
They wrote: "This drove me to pursue alternate methods of discouraging the driveway trespassers. The first tactic was known as the cheese drop.
"As the name suggests, whenever I noticed a car parked in my driveway for an extended period of time, I would go out on my balcony next to the driveway and drop a slice of cheese down onto the car.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
"It was provolone and it was expired, so even better. After doing this several times, I eventually saw them discover the cheese, and they were amused by it. I decided to escalate my antics."
The Reddit user said that following a snowstorm the same "culprits" had allowed a friend to park on the driveway and when they were asked to move the car, they refused.
"When it snowed we barricaded his car with several feet of snow on all sides. We locked our shovels up, knowing they didn’t have their own," they added.
"I watched from my apartment as they discovered their car fully blocked in (I warned them we put the snow there when we shovel).

"They must’ve stood there with their hands on their heads for at least 10 seconds before one dug it out while the other stood around watching.
"The message was still ignored, so I took it a step further. I designed my own parking tickets and ticket envelopes and ordered them from one of those stationary websites. Now, every time a car would park in my driveway, I would issue them a ticket.
"For legal reasons, I could not actually fine them or impersonate any kind of authoritative entity, but I got great satisfaction knowing they would get that feeling of panic upon seeing an orange envelope on their windshield."
