A woman has hit back at her neighbour after a feud over parking.
While you can choose your house, you can't choose your neighbours but there does seem to be unspoken rules and 'etiquette' between residents.
But one mum has found herself in a situation after her neighbour started parking in her driveway. Although the woman admits to not owning a car, she still likes to use the space, considering she doesn't have a garden.

Writing on Mumsnet, she remained anonymous and explained: "I live in a city in a ground floor flat, no garden but I have a driveway that comes with my flat. I don't have a car so this Is why I don't know if I'm being unreasonable..
"My doorway and driveway gets a lot of direct sun so I like to dry my washing out there on racks when the weather is nice. I also like to sit out there on a chair with a cold drink and a book sometimes."
And then she went on to explain the issue: "A few months ago a family moved into the flat above me and have taken to parking their big people carrier on my drive. They didn't ask my permission, just assumed they were entitled to because I don't have a car.
"My frustration is when their car is there I can't put my washing out, it also blocks a lot of the sun. They park it diagonally as well which is a pain for me getting my pram in and out.
"They are out there at the minute cleaning and hoovering the car about 3ft away from my doorstep so I can't sit out and enjoy the sun in a bit of peace and quiet.
"AIBU [Am I being unreasonable] to be unhappy about them using my drive in this way? The poll results will determine what, if anything, I say to them."
The post quickly gathered attention with many agreeing that she had every right to be annoyed.
One said: "Have you spoken to them about it being yours rather than shared that maybe the first step."
A second commented: "Omg how cheeky of them! Do they know it’s your drive? Go round with the deeds and tell them to get off."
"I'd tell them to stop it ASAP. The longer you leave it, the harder it will be to stop it if you ever do have a car or want your own guest to park there. You wouldn't let someone pitch up a tent in your back garden so why would you let someone park a car in your front garden?" A third added.
Another interjected: "Tell them it’s you’re private driveway and they don’t have permission to park there and to move their car. If you haven’t told them there may simply be a misunderstanding."
Meanwhile someone asked: "Why have you let them park there? You've kind of created the problem, maybe they think it's theirs?"
