Parking is a completely different animal.

But who gives a sh*t if they take five seconds to use your driveway for a 3 point turn as long as they don't plow over your mailbox or something.

Hyper-protectionism over property is a mongloid trait.

Probably casing the joint
Kidding but to pull up like that and sit for 10 seconds is weird.

thought so too is all. Plus just staring....no wave, no acknowledgment....don't care if I'm being too over protective with my young teenage daughter being in the front yard....

def not "karening" I did bring this to the OT for some of these other responses though in this thread though...

You’re supposed to flash em your D as well while doing this.

Establishes dominance.

In the animal kingdom, they call this “presenting”

Hilarious to me that as a society we have no problem with people walking up to our homes, ringing the doorbell and finding out if we are “home” gaining knowledge on our whereabouts


Idk I definitely don’t appreciate people I don’t know coming up to my house and ringing the bell. The driveway turn around thing doesn’t bother me as long as they don’t run in my grass or something.

If somebody is outside I move on to the next driveway. When I turn. around in a driveway I’m careful not to run into the yard at all.

I only go as far as needed on the drive to safely get off of the road. Back up when road is clear and go! Sadly with all the jerks, crazies & thieves in this world it really bothers me when someone turns around in my driveway. Its sad that you cant trust people anymore.

I try not to use driveways with nice white concrete as my truck tires are a little aggressive and don’t want to leave tire marks. I only pull in as far as needed then make it quick.

When I was in my teens, I was taking a girl home after our work shift ended. I wasn’t familiar with the neighborhood, so I pulled into the neighbor’s driveway to turn around (her driveway had a vehicle). A car pulls up behind me, halfway into the street as I wasn’t going to the backyard or anything. Old white guy knocks on my window like a fricking cop and demands to see my ID because his house has been robbed recently. As a scared 17 year old, I complied and he finally moved his vehicle. As a grown man, that would be knuckle check time.

A preacher was just telling me about pulling into a driveway when he noticed a family was on the porch and playing banjos while handling firearms and calling to their pigs.
Decided to stop sharing the Word and start burning gas out of there.
Might that have been y'all?

As quickly as possible and with as little intrusion as possible.
