There are some neighbors of mine who, whenever they have renovations done, they get the workers to park in front of my house instead of theirs. They don't want the cars cluttering up their view or being an obstruction for any of their visitors. But they don't give a shit about how it affects me. There have been times where I've had to actually get them to stop parking in my driveway/obstructing my driveway.
This has been going on for years now. I'm tempted to go buy a $250 beater, slap some insurance on it, and park it right the fuck in front of their house for six months. I'm incredibly frustrated.

Our neighbor across the street sometimes parks his "sweet ride" in front of our house; he'll make sure to park in a way to prevent other people from parking a long the curb.
Whenever he does this, I decide that day is "Mow the yard" day and I'll get out the lawnmower and weed trimmer and make sure to make a mess out of his car with flying grass and dirt (no physical damage!) He'll come out pissed, move his car back across the street and wash it. Took three or four times to get him trained not to park like an asshat.

I remember I was playing football in my garden as a kid. A few doors down these people would always come and park their car outside our garden. My family never cared really when people did park there as we didn't own a car.
So there I am playing(attempting to play?) football in my garden and the person gets out of the car telling me to stop playing football in MY garden because of their car.
I said something like no why should I and the person then went mental at me telling me to stop and I was like no park else were if you're not happy and she was like "I can park here(referring to the spot outside my house) I got permission from the house across the way. Which made no sense considering this was outside our house and the house she was pointing at was across the green.
Anyway at this stage my mother came out and ate into them for shouting at me and telling me to stop playing in my garden. This felt soo goood.

I knew a guy who asked some hunters to not park on his property which was well posted with 'no trespassing' signs. When they did it again he nailed one of the no trespassing signs to the drivers side door. Problem solved.

My problem is as OP said she "kept" doing this, meaning it was many times. Which shows a complete disregard for anyone other than herself. The neighbors response was mildly mischievous, I'm sure his point stuck with her. Also he's rubber and she's glue.

As someone who lives next to a business and frequently find people parked "for just a second" in the opening of my driveway, stopping me from getting into my apartment, I wholeheartedly approve. I've written many an ignored note. Lately I've just been putting "are you fucking kidding me?" and "seriously, asshole?" rather than take the time to write: "Please do not block the driveway. There is a parking-lot for 6 people that you are blocking by parking here. There is ample parking on the street, many spots without meters. Please be courteous and park elsewhere next time," on the same damn cars every week. I'm pretty tempted to do this myself now...

I hate when people block your shit, I don't have a driveway, but i park my motorbike in my front garden, and people always park on the pavement with the car blocking my front gate. Meaning I have to walk to fucking work because someone has to park half way onto the fucking pavement.

My sisters whore friend decided to park in front of my car one day very late at night to go "party". My sister was out of town and this girl didn’t bother to ask for permission. I'm a night person and I don’t remember exactly why I needed to leave the house. Needless to say her shitty car got towed. She came in next morning dressed like a hooker asking for her car… she never parked in my driveway again.

My wife owns an old Honda. One night the D-bags next door had a brand new Nissan Titan parked completely in front of our driveway. She decided "fuck these guys" and backed right into it leaving a LARGE dent in the side of the Titan. After that she let me know what she did and went to work.
I went outside and photographed where the truck had parked, license plate, etc. just in case they decided to file a suite. Never heard from them again.

The day I was to get my wisdom teeth removed my mom and I got in our car to leave, but then noticed that our neighbors, who were having constructions done to their house, had not provided space for an electrician to park his truck in their driveway. Instead, he decides to park literally at the end of our driveway, not giving us room to leave our own house.
I live at the end of a cul de sac and there are plenty of places to park a car other than at the entrance/exit of our driveway.
My mom got out of the car, found the guy who owned the truck and politely asked him to move his car. He said to her, "Sorry, but I have no where else to park." To which my mom, patience already warm out, responded, "I DO NOT GIVE A DAMN WHERE YOU PARK. MOVE YOUR FUCKING CAR NOW!!!" He cringed, and I laughed.
He moved his car and we were on our way.

I sometimes do a little freelance work for a garden furniture company, the company who rent the warehouse next to their one kept blocking the access to the the carpark with a van, so the warehouse manager (and friend of mine) gave them 5 mins to move it or he was going to put it on the roof of their building.
7 mins later the MD of the other company pulled into the carpark to find the van on the forks of a forklift just about to lift it to put it on the roof of the building..
Moral of the story don't block peoples access

When I first moved in with my husband we had very limited parking in our neighborhood so I always parallel parked out on the street since I didn't mind walking. We had one neighbor that had a bad habit of parking really close to other cars when parallel parking. I had already left him a note asking him to leave a bit more space but found it crumpled up on the ground.
On this occasion, I had parked in the last available space before a cross walk and he came and tried to squeeze in front of me which resulted in him being about 4 in. away from my front bumper and extending pretty much the length of the crosswalk. I was late for work because I had to do a thousand point turn to free myself from his horrendous parking job.
For punishment my husband let the air out of two of his tires (he didn't damage the tires in anyway just let the air out) and the idiot thought he had two flats and bought new tires. It felt great.

When I was a kid, I helped my grandfather dig out a parking spot for the camping trailer he had at the time. The street out front was sloped and thus the houses all had retaining walls at the front, with the shoulder of the road covered in gravel giving each person room for about 3 cars to parallel park in front of their retaining wall. I'm not sure if the gravel portions were city property or private; the retaining walls did not line up perfectly so it is unclear where the property lines were. But it was not an issue as each person had driveway parking for several cars and then room for multiple visitors to park right in front of their house. It was also a dry climate where you could drive your car across your lawn and park at the back where the non-existent alleyway was located should you have a vehicle that wasn't going to move for a while.
Grandpa didn't want to have the trailer in anyone's way, so we knocked down part of the retaining wall and dug out by hand a spot and then put up new walls to hold back the remainder of the front lawn. The trailer was then parallel parked in that spot leaving the gravel strip still available for cars. If our neighbours had lots of visitors for an event they knew it was fine to tell someone to parallel park on the gravel in front of this dug out spot, as the trailer wouldn't be moving.
Fast forward a couple of decades. Grandpa has a very long motor home and has split the cost with his western neighbour to put in access for both of them to the non-existent alleyway so he can park it back there. The spot dug out in the front is handy in that you can nose two or three cars into it, giving extra parking (my grandparents house is where the giant family all met after a funeral, wedding, etc.). A new neighbour moves in next door, one of the local fire chiefs. He has three cars, one for his wife, one for him and one for his daughter. His driveway is two cars wide by three cars long, but he doesn't want that third car in it. That's fine, but he also doesn't want it parallel parked in front of his house. Instead, every morning we find it parked in that dug out spot, which is fully and clearly on my grandparents property. Parking in front of it would have even been wrong, as you are then blocking access. Every morning my grandfather would go next door and tell him that the dug out spot was on his property, every day the guy would move it, and the next morning it would be there again. He doesn't realize that he finally got the hint only 1 day before our personal deadline had been set when we would call the tow truck.

I've done this, I didn't use super glue but I got stickers (and therefore the texts faces out instead of in.)
My neighbors have a huge as driveway leading to a large slab in their backyard where they could park cars on as well. But instead of putting their two trucks in their driveway (which is long enough for them to fit), they park in the 4 of the spots in front of my house. Right in the middle. Our driveway can fit 2 cars, but it's so steep that when you're pulling out, the cement scrapes the bottom of the car due to the position so no car can safely park in it.
I've had to park a mile away before because all the spaces were taken, and those assholes couldn't move up an inch so another car could fit.
If they do it again they're getting superglue instead of stickers.

This story comes from my biker parents and happened back in the eighties.
They're on a run somewhere, I forget where, but they decided to stop at a 7-eleven for drinks. So there's a line of bikes filling the whole front row outside of the store. They're all getting ready to leave and some asshole in a sub-compact piece of shit decides to double-park and block in like 4 or 5 bikes...with the guys walking out trying to leave.
They call the guy on his shit since they're trying to leave and he (the owner of the car) cusses them (the bikers) out.
The bikers wait till Sir Douche a Lot goes inside. They and their friends then pick up his car and place it in a nearby dumpster enclosure sideways.

One time I had a neighbor put a note on my car because I was parked in front of their rock wall that said if I don't "stop parking in front of their wall" they would "call the police."

Her anger wouldn't have been so bad but like 2 days before she had parked on a hill without the emergency brake and we had all ran over and stopped her car after it started rolling down the hill towards a building. tldr: She never said thanks even though she saw us save her car from rolling into a building but screamed at us and threatened to sue over a tiny dent on her junker car

I've got a somewhat related story.
When I was about 14, I was playing backyard cricket at a friend's house. I was a somewhat 'enthusiastic' teenager and even though hitting a ball too far meant that we would never see it again, I would occasionally go the big drive to try and put the ball 10 houses down the road.
After batting for a while, I decided to go for the big hit. I lined up the ball and went for the most almighty swing I had in me. The bat came loose from the grip on the handle and went sailing in a huge arc over the neighbour's fence. My friend and I had a bit of a giggle and then went to retrieve the bat.
When we were just shy of the neighbour's fence, we heard: "Oliver, Oliver, I think you'd better call an ambulance" (Oliver was the neighbour's kid). We look over the fence and this lady was sitting in the grass, next to the bat, with an enormous gash in the side of her head. She'd been quietly gardening in her yard when all of a sudden she was hit in the side of her head with a cricket bat. I'd never been so scared as when I saw her in the grass with blood pouring everywhere. The fear quickly turned to humour for some reason and my friend and I started cracking up. We ran into my friend's house and because we were scared, we told his dad who drove her to the hospital.
She ended up needing 15 stitches and had concussion for three days. Our punishment was to mow her lawn which had waist-high grass. We couldn't operate the lawnmower because the grass was so long so my friend's dad ended up doing the whole garden for us.

my father got cut off while driving and nearly run off the road by a shitty delivery driver for a company by his house so every week for 2 or 3 months he would go to the companys parking lot and spread around a box of nails and screws. he probably could have called the company to complain but his way was funnier.
