    Entitled neighbor begins parking dispute with new resident who is 7-months pregnant and following their landlord's policy correctly

    There is a special place for people who start drama with new neighbors over parking disagreements, especially when that new neighbor is seven months pregnant.

    "Have you no decency, sir?"

    That's what most of us would say to this entitled curmudgeon, who had convinced himself somehow that the wrong delimitations marking certain spots in the building's parking lot actually belonged to him. In fact, he got it all wrong, but this was the kind of person who was impossible to reason with and who would likely never own up to being incorrect about anything.

    Unfortunately for this new resident and her spouse, it seems like they're in for a wild ride. Not only are they on the brink of parenthood, but now they're also dealing with a stubborn old man next door.

    • One has to wonder what will be more challenging for this couple: raising a child or reasoning with this entitled dude. Clearly, the landlord already gave up on trying to establish a level of decorum with the guy. That should have been the first sign that this couple was in for a neighborly treat.

      What's most remarkable about this guy's antics is that he already has three cars and plenty of spots in the shared parking lot, more than most tenants in the building. Over the years, this privilege gradually morphed into entitlement, to the point that he just started redefining rules based on how he would like things to be. 

      Look, this dispute just goes to show that no matter how old you are and no matter how long you've been living somewhere, you can't just start pretending like the law of the land is whatever is most convenient for you. Experience should have taught this dude by now that this mentality is simply not how life actually works. Keep scrolling below for some reactions from members of this online community, who were equally outraged at how demanding and selfish this man was acting.

    • AdFancy2765. Talk to the landlord. He probably knew what a j this guy is. If he can't straighten this out, don't move in. Really, just don't move in. You have a bad neighbor. Time will reveal more crazy habits.

    • If I could sell my house and move, I would. I love my house and property but the neighbors are making me miserable. My "ignore it" bucket is running over. Saving for an 8' privacy fence.
