Woman Demands Assigned Parking Spot, Calls Neighbor Selfish When She Says No

Neighborhood conflicts rarely begin with shouting. More often, they start with a request that seems small on the surface but carries much bigger expectations underneath.

One tenant recently found themselves in the middle of such a dispute after a new neighbor questioned a long-established arrangement.

What was framed as a practical need soon turned into accusations and repeated attempts to push past a clear answer.

As the situation escalated, it stopped being about convenience and became a matter of respect and boundaries.

'AITJ because I won’t give my parking spot to new neighbor who says she "needs it more" because she has kids?'

I live in an apartment complex where parking is assigned. Each unit gets one spot with your unit number painted on it.

I'm in unit 12, so I have spot 12. Pretty simple. New neighbor "Kelly" moved into unit 18 last month with her husband and 3 kids.

Her assigned spot is 18, which is further from the building entrance than mine.

We're talking like maybe 40 extra feet of walking. She knocked on my door last week and asked if we could

"trade" parking spots because mine is closer and it's "really hard" carrying her kids' stuff from the car when the spot is far away.

I said sorry, but I like my spot and want to keep it. She seemed shocked when I said no.

She said, "I have THREE KIDS under 5, you live alone, you don't NEED the close spot as I do."

I told her parking is assigned, and I'm not switching. She went to the landlord and tried to get him to force me to switch.

The landlord told her spots are non-transferable unless both parties agree.

She came back to me AGAIN and said, "Please reconsider, you're being really selfish here."

I said no again, and she's been giving me dirty looks ever since.

Yesterday she parked in MY spot, and when I knocked on her door she said, "oh I thought you'd be at work,

I just needed to unload groceries quickly." But her car was there for 3 hours.

My sister says I should just switch to be nice, but my friend says if I give in, she'll just keep pushing boundaries.

AITJ for not giving her my parking spot?

TL;DR: New neighbor with 3 kids wants my assigned parking spot because it's closer to the building,

I said no, he says I'm selfish and keeps parking in my spot anyway.

See what others had to share with OP:

Either_Management813 − NTJ and she’s being ridiculous.

klindy22 − Even if it's "just for a few", report her to the landlord. Have her towed. SO tired of people with kids acting entitled.

I have FOUR, and I do not expect anything from anyone; they were my choice.

Business_Election_89 − Ask her to pay you. $100/month. Payable in advance, 12 months.

If she parks in your spot, call a tow truck. Some people with kids really think we all owe them. Er, nope. Different paths, that's all.

Striking-Region-3620 − Don't empower entitled people.

Whole-Finger42 − Why your spot? Why not 11? Or 10? Or 9? … Something doesn’t seem right here.

Just_Teaching_1369 − NTJ! Take a photo every time she does and report it to the landlord.

Like the landlord says, spots are non-transferable unless both parties agree.

carmelfan − NTA. If she had asked nicely, without the guilt-tripping, I probably would have considered it.

But after that stunt of parking in your spot? No way.

Lambsenglish − It’s fine for her to ask, but it’s not fine for her to expect.

Tell her the next thing she should expect is building management clamping her s__t.

Pale_Werewolf4738 − If parking was an issue, why would they take that apartment to begin with?

Suggest they find a place that suits their needs.

Knickers1978 − This is very familiar. I’ve read it before

JuiceEdawg − NTJ. But she is a huge AH. If you don’t nip her entitlement in the bud now, it will keep happening. Have her car towed.

Potential_Bad6489 − I didn’t think this would blow up! Thank you for all the kind words and advice.

I already warned her earlier that if this happens again, I won’t hesitate to call a tow truck.

She just nodded and gave me an evil look. Let’s see what happens.

Daddy_thick_legs − I honestly hate that parents feel like they have some sort of entitlement.

So, if you don't have children, it's not your fault she decided to have kids.

Carpenter-_-Fancy − As a parent of young kids, I get where she is coming from, and I don’t think there is any harm in asking…

BUT, you have to be prepared for the answer. And if it’s no, then it’s no. The whole world does not need to

accommodate those with kids just because. She asked for a favour, and you’re within your rights to say no.

She needs to figure it out as she was asking for a convenience. NTJ.

raejck1 − I truly hate people like this. Her issues are just that, hers.

No one told her to have that many children if she could not afford an actual house for them.

Complain to the landlord ASAP about the parking in your spot.

Also, find out what recourse you have for when it happens again (because this person feels entitled, it WILL happen again).

What you want is towing rights. Nothing is going to put this woman in her place except for hard consequences.
