Have you ever gotten into an argument with a neighbor over something ridiculous?

One woman recently had to deal with an angry neighbor after she ran over a makeshift garden their children had made in their apartment parking lot. 

She’s 25-years-old and lives in a highly populated city. Behind the apartment building she lives in, there’s a very small parking lot. The lot is very small and awkwardly shaped. The parking spots aren’t uniformly lined up but spread around uniquely to accommodate all the tenants in a small space.

The parking lot is mostly covered in grid pavement with small grass patches in the middle of each tiny hole. 

“I was away from home for a few weeks and also purchased a new car,” she said.

“This car is significantly bigger than my last and extremely hard to park.”

One morning, after parking her new car, a neighbor angrily texted her and said she ran over their kid’s “project garden for the summer.”

She was very confused because she parked in a parking spot and not on big dirt patches. Then, she got on her balcony and saw a few squished plants directly to the left of her car. The plants were not planted in an actual garden; they were planted in the holes of the grid pavement, which is meant to have cars on top of it. 

“I texted back that their makeshift garden was quite literally on the pavement meant for cars to go over,” she remembered.

“They told me that I can avoid running it over. I tried for a few days, but ultimately one night in the dark, I ran some of them over again.”

Her neighbors then tried surrounding the area with potted plants, and she ran those over in the dark as well. She couldn’t help it, as she needed to use extra moving space to avoid bumping into any other cars parked in the tight lot.

Then, one of her neighbors called her downstairs, where he gave her a long lecture about how she could park and avoid the “garden” simultaneously. She told her neighbor to buzz off and move the plants toward his parking space instead of leaving them by hers. 

“He got really livid, and we got into a huge argument,” she said.

“Some people suggested they install lights so I can see better at night and avoid the plants, but honestly, even in the daylight, I have to spend 10 minutes maneuvering and getting out of the car to make sure the garden is okay. I don’t wanna do that.”

Finally, she told her neighbor she would continue running over the plants if they weren’t moved. Some people in her building believe she’s in the wrong, but she disagrees.

Should she stress about running over her neighbor’s plants, or does her neighbor need to move them?
