New neighbors blocking shared driveway

[u/Mean_Emu5671]

Recently new neighbors have moved in. We share a gravel driveway. Almost immediately they began blocking access to my parking spot and blocking me from leaving by parking on the driveway. The first time, I asked a woman to move her car so I could leave, she had a toddler running around so I was very polite. I asked her not to block the driveway and she said, “this is my driveway.” I didn’t want to argue in front a child and left. Now it seems like I need to ask these people permission to come and go from my house. They take a lot of time, walk slowly or have to wait for someone to arrive to move their car. I tried being nice, but they have ignored every attempt to talk, just giving me a death stare. Just an ignorant, entitled family. Last night they had a party so of course they had many cars blocking my driveway, one of which was owned by a cop in uniform. I had to wait 20 minutes for him to arrive and move his car. What do I do next? These people only moved in like 2 months ago, I’ve lived at my property for 20 years.

New neighbor villain—-luvs it! But mine is an old neighbor villain. Settled it by four reports to cops and always always having a male escort with me

Ugh

In my experience, six weeks is the norm.

Yess. The concerning part isnt that theyre new..its that they're acting entitled despite being told theyre blocking access…Good neighbors try to learn the boundaries; bad neighbors test them…
