Steve didn’t wake up planning to start a neighborhood dispute. He just wanted to leave his house. But when he stepped outside, his driveway was still blocked by the same car that had been there days earlier. It wasn’t parked awkwardly or slightly over the line—it completely blocked his way in and out. At first, he assumed it was a simple mistake. Someone would be back any minute. So he waited.

Minutes turned into hours. Hours turned into days. The car never moved.

What Steve didn’t know was that the owner of the car wasn’t nearby or delayed. She was on a three-week holiday. He had no note, no phone number, no explanation. All he knew was that he couldn’t use his own driveway. At some point, waiting stopped being reasonable and started becoming a problem that affected his daily life. So he did what many people would eventually do: he had the car towed to the impound.

Three weeks later, the neighbor returned and went straight to Steve’s house, angry and demanding to know where her car was. She didn’t deny blocking the driveway. Her argument was that he should have known she was gone and waited for her to come back.
