Asking you to come and pull out your car so they can park in ur front because they wont be readily available when u want to drive out.

Hehehehe this is a tricky one. If don't come out now they won't come out in the morning as well when you need to get to work.

Well, relocate to Estate and see those issues vanish.

a neighbour once told us not to pack in front of their flat ,that when they buy a car in the future, that's where they will pack their car. very troublesome family,

The Good Book says, “Love your neighbour as yourself”. Therefore, we’re left with no choice but to love them.

However, some neighbours sharing the same residential compound with us can do things that often drive us crazy.

For instance, they do certain things with their cars that if not well-managed could lead to a dispute. At such times, they make you wish you could afford to live in a self-compound.

For those who live in shared compounds, you will relate to the pain caused by some neighbours, especially the inconsiderate ones that never think of others, but just themselves.

Indeed, peaceful communal living requires some special skills and patience.


Anyway, here, we look at the top annoying habits that our neighbours put up with their cars.


https://autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/neigbours-car-1.jpg





Honking their horns endlessly for the security to open the gate


After a hard day, you settle in your apartment for some peace and quiet. Then arrives your neighbour, and the tranquillity ends with the loud blaring of his/her car horn.

And this happens often when they try to get the attention of the security man to open the gate for them. It could be really annoying if the neighbour in question is not the patient type, as the honking can go on for long like a performance by a deprave member of a  symphony.





Taking Eternity To Come Out To Repark


You need to go out in a rush. But your neighbour's car is parked behind yours, thus blocking your way out of the compound. So, you send a message to him/her to come out to move their car in order for you to exit the compound. However, it takes forever for the neighbour to come out. You become livid. But you somehow contain your anger. The worst part is having to wait for ages for them to move their car. Still, you find a way to avoiding confrontation.



Leaving the House When  They Blocked Your Car

So you need to leave the house with your car. You reach out to your neighbour whose car is blocking your access out of the compound, only to be informed that the neighbour left the house without his or car.


Calling you at Awkward Times for You to Repark


Just at the point when you are slipping into bliss in your apartment, a neighbour calls you out to re-park in order to make it easy for him/her the way to drive in or out. Such a request could drive one crazy.




Wasting Parking Space


In some compounds, parking space is very limited. So, any available space is greatly cherished.

However, there are some neighbours who would drive in and leave a huge space ahead of them, or park their cars atrociously. In the process, they take up more bays of parking space.  Technically, they deprive those that are yet to return home with parking space.

If these neighbours were to park properly, the parking space could fit more cars in the parking area. 




Blocking The Driveways With their Cars

You have had a horrible day, so you drive to your house, only to discover that your neighbour has blocked the driveway or the entrance into the compound with his/her car. Arrghh!



Reserving Parking  Space for their Spouses

Most shared compounds operate a parking policy of first come, first served. However, some neighbours do not have a problem with violating this policy by using their cars to park in a certain manner in order to reserve a space for their spouses who are yet to arrive home.

Disturbing the Peace With Their Car Audio System

They go into their parked car in the compound and without any plan to drive out. There, they blast the car audio system without any consideration for the desire for quietness by their neighbours.



Parking Too Close To Your Car

They park too close to your car that it becomes impossible to open your car door in order to get in. Perhaps, they expect you to board your car through the sunroof.  

Similarly, they park too close to your bumper that opening your boot becomes impossible.




Littered Driveway With Toys


Driving in or out of the compound is sometimes made harder when you have to take extra caution not to drive over the toys or playthings of your neighbour's kids that customarily litter the driveway. 




Their Kids Turns Your Car Chassis To A Writing Board


Well, not that you are against learning, but using your car as a writing platform is not a delightful way to encourage our neighbour's children to pursue an education.  And, Yes. That thing could really drive one crazy.



Parking in your Designated Space

In some compounds, each occupant is allocated designated parking spaces. However, some neighbours do not have any qualms encroaching on other neighbour's parking space. Even worse is when they do not direct their guests to park elsewhere!



Their Visitors taking Up Parking Space

In compounds with very limited parking space, some neighbours let their visitors park in the residents’ car park, blocking the access or taking space designated for other residents.

Even more frustrating when there is plenty of street parking available.





Too many cars parked in the compound

Ok. Parking space is scarce. However, a neighbour does not have any problem populating the compound with far more number of cars that he or his family needs.




Honking Their Horn To Get Their Wives Or Kids To Come Out

They get into the car faster than their wives or children who seem to always take forever to get out of bed, clothed, fed and ready for work or school. 

So, they devise a method to hasten them by sitting in their running car in the parking space and honk the horn to hasten them.




Have we missed any?

femi4:
What about somebody from two or three buildings from yours parking his car in your compound cos his compound doesn't have parking space

Some will even wash their car in front of your house.

ImaIma1:
My new neighbour blocked the gate with his car and went to work on a Monday morning even if he clearly saw other cars parked in the compound. Nobody could move out with their car till he got back from work in the evening.

Some people don't actually maximize the use of their brains.

And his four tires weren't flattened

Nobody owns car for my compound, NA only get okada,.
I no dey park or pressing hone anyhow

Finally nothing like your own personal house, I can’t wait for my house rent to finish to catapult myself to my own house. Indeed God’s grace is sufficient . But finally U go think say u don finish your house until you get to finishing then u go see Oba of Benin.

No "frustration" In My Life. So, Nothing To Share.

I can relate with almost all the
menaces on the list especially: neighbors taking forever to repark and their visitors taking up parking spaces. One of my neighbors requires 15mins to come out of his flat. When he gets to his car, that’s when he needs to pray to bless the car for proper usage for the day. After the prayers then he needs to warm the car (even though he’s not ready to leave the house yet). I would just be cursing in my mind.

I then resort to parking outside until everyone else parks (no matter how tired I am from work), to avoid loosing it one day.

Hahaha I can imagine

It was extremely annoying.

frankson1:

Naah. He's a neighbour. It was just painful that he lacked consideration for others to be able to block entry and exit into the compound and go to work. My husband was even cool on the phone but i made sure he heard me calling his act "senseless" at the background.

Always asking for your battery to start-up their car.

well I have to add this cause it's damn annoying!

Have u ever had a neighbour learning how to drive?
my former apartment, my ex-neighbour used my car to perfect his parking skills!

I talk tire!

My neighbor used to park in the middle of a two lane street so other cars cannot pas in front of this house.

But God has done his thing, the car has now spoilt
