The woman was left trapped in her own home for days

A new homeowner has been left stunned after being screamed at by a neighbour who blocked her driveway.

The screaming neighbour, who was conducting an extension of her property, placed a huge waste skip on the resident's drive without asking for permission.



Taking to social media to ask for advice, the resident claimed her neighbour became defensive and screamed at her when confronted over the placement of the industrial-sized skip.

Despite her best efforts to de-escalate the situation, the woman claimed on the LegalAdvice subreddit that her neighbour and her neighbour's husband just wouldn't listen to reason.

She claimed: “The wife was immediately defensive and started to raise her voice, so much so the middle neighbour could hear it inside her house with the windows closed.

“I tried to de-escalate and explain what our shared access agreement covered but she kept calling me ridiculous and telling me to block off my path, and sue them.

“I ended up having to ask to speak to her husband, and while he was calmer and listened, it was clear he didn’t care and would carry on regardless.”

The resident was blocked into her home completely when builders completing the extension work also parked behind her car.

The neighbour’s son confounded the misery by doing the same thing with his car the following day.

In an attempt to end the situation, the user explained how she was mulling over whether to send a written notice demanding an end to the squabble.

The user added: “I wrote a Cease and Desist to place on the car and post through their letterbox.

“But I thought better of it given the late hour. At 6am the husband text me to call a truce and say it had got out of hand.

“I replied that I agreed and hoped this would be the end of it.”

The neighbour swatted away concern about the builders' parking by telling the user to take it up directly with them.
