Quoted:
So my neighbors across the street have about 8 people living in one house and just about every one of them use my driveway at some point to turn around and go the other day. Today, I happened to be out there and one of them decided to pull this stunt and I gave them the WTF look and shook my head. The driver proceeds to get out of his truck to be confrontational and ask me if I had a problem with him using my driveway to turn around. I said Yes, I do, he then proceeded to ask if I was serious and I said "its pretty rude". He then told me I could go fuck myself and got back in his truck and left. Am I the only one that thinks turning around in someone else's driveway rude? I realize that sometimes it can't be helped or every once in the while isn't a big deal, but when it becomes a habit, I get really annoyed. Yes. |

why does everyone on this site seem to hate their neighbors? I live in a very cookie cutter neighborhood and I know 15 of the 20 home owners on my cove by first name. We all get along.
And if we ever had some kind of emergency or anything like that this is what would happen......

Hermit? Quoted:
Quoted:
I always went/go condition orange anytime someone pulled into my driveway, no one except a delivery man has cause to be pulling into my driveway. Hermit? Lived in the country for years and had people drive all the way up my driveway which was several hundred meters and then back out and leave when they saw someone was home. Had people steal gas from my car, fucking around in the woods behind my house at night, etc. |

Quoted:
He was on your property and told you to go fuck yourself and then he got back in his car and drove away? You got bigger problems than someone using your driveway. This is the first time I've actually talked to any of them. Normally I just ignore them using my driveway and probably will continue to do so, but this was literally right in front of me while I was doing some work. |

| The occasional oh damn I missed my turn doesn't bother me. Someone who lives there and is too dumb to figure out what they need to do to be able to come and go without entering my drive regulalry would piss me off. Possibly enough for the placement of something that will cause tire damage but not be horribly apparent as having been set, but more likely a nice remote control heavy gate. And blinding motion lights for the evening hours. |

My driveway is 600' long. As long as they are just at the street end doing a 3-pointer, I don't care.
I could see it being annoying if the same person was turning around in a small subdivision setting while shining his lights in your living room every evening. Maybe park your car at the end of the driveway, or toss your dog doodoo in his yard, and see if he shakes his head. |

I don't think it's a big deal but it is private property. I try to stay off private property I have no business on. ETA: I won't even park in front of the neighbors houses unless I have a situation with visitors and too many cars or work in the garage and driveway that precludes parking there and then I ask them. |

ETA: I'm pretty sure the driver really wanted me to pick a fight with him and get in a brawl. I just casually talked to him and keep going about my business. There are very few things where a brawl would be good, and this was not one of them. Find out how to serve the dick head who wanted a fight a notice not to trespass so the next time he does he gets arrested for defiant trespass if he does, in some states defiant trespass is indictable. Next if you follow through with any of this install a good camera system that records at night too, motion activated and watch the evidence and report back |

It is rude. Especially when it is happening all the time, all day, every day, by the same group of people, and those people are not close friends.
Once in a while by someone who made a wrong turn wouldn't bother me. Inconsiderate self centered assholes using your property as a round-about because it is convenient would bother me. |

My part time job takes me to a lot of addresses that I have to look for, so I
have to turn around on streets a lot. When I need to do that, I pull part way into the driveway, just enough for me to back out and around, and I do it slowly, try to show a little regard. If I can use a driveway where nobody is home, so`s the better. Somebody don`t like it, Sorry, man, won`t do it again, just turnin around. Somebody uses mine, I don`t really care, just do it safely. rdove, your neighbor was kinda out of line, and damned rude, but nobody traded paint or bullets, was me I`d let it go my $.02 |

I would bet the last 10-15' of your drive way really isnt yours to begin with. In most places the city or the county actually has property beyond the edge of the actual road. eta: damn, beat by 1 minute by a 2 legged cat 
My driveway is all of 15 feet total..so shit I should just be letting them park in my garage according to you. |

No...Driveways are private property, you have every right to be annoyed by it. I will avoid turning around in someones driveway, oftentimes going out of my way to do so (sometimes it is unavoidable however). |
