A neighbour is driving a resident to distraction as they use their driveway for customer parking.

The home-based business has sparked numerous issues on the street, with the resident complaining to their neighbour that clients are obstructing their exit route.

The anonymous resident turned to Reddit to share their problem.

Whilst no perfect remedy was available, some members of the public have recommended involving the authorities if the situation persists.

The neighbour appeared rather unbothered by the parking row. The unnamed resident's post detailed how their next-door neighbour has begun cutting hair at their property, allowing customers to use the driveway and lawn of neighbouring homes for parking.

The resident wrote: "Neighbour started a home haircut business and people are parking on my lawn for their appointments all day. My neighbour converted her garage into a hair salon and now runs a full-time business cutting hair for clients who park wherever they want, including on my grass.

"My lawn has tire tracks everywhere and random people are constantly walking across my property. When I asked her to tell clients not to park on my lawn, she said there's limited street parking and I'm being unwelcoming to her small business.

"Yesterday someone parked blocking my driveway so I couldn't leave for work earlier. I'm all for supporting small businesses but not when it means my property becomes overflow parking for her 'home salon'."

The frustrated resident is now contemplating retaliation to halt the problem.

They revealed: "Of course I don't wanna call cops but should I? Right now I'm just annoyed but if this persists, I might do it."

Members of the public reckon the resident is being far too lenient in this situation.

One person penned: "You are entirely too considerate. I would be calling the cops as well as code enforcement ( and anyone else I can think of off hand).

"Most times it against code to run a small business out of your home if it involves customers directly frequenting said business. That's the whole purpose of residential zoning and commercial zoning."

Another wrote: "Start with no parking signs, then call the tow trucks, and then police. You've already asked politely." A third individual has since proposed there could be some earnings to be made from those parking on their lawn.

They recommended: "Put up a sign that says $15 parking." Others reckon doing so could counter the neighbour's stance of backing small enterprises.

One person penned: "And tell the neighbour to be supportive of this small business!" Another added: "You forgot a zero. $150. Per hour."

A separate remark reads: "Charge for parking. Sit outside in a lawn chair with an umbrella and a sign that says. 'Parking $20 Cash Only.'"

"When your neighbour complains tell her she's not supporting your small business. Buy a car boot on amazon for anyone who parks without paying."
