Maine Neighbor Charges Parking Fee for Guests at Neighborhood Wedding
We all seem to have that one neighbor, or at least it seems like we do.
A neighbor that we just have some unknown friction with due to conflicting personalities, different views, or simply just not understanding each other. But ideally, we keep the peace because, well, no one wants to turn what is hopefully a home full of peace into absolute chaos.
Especially if you're talking about a situation where you've bought a house in a neighborhood, because at that point, you've put down roots and you're not planning on going anywhere, anytime soon.
Which makes this story of a neighborhood wedding in Westbrook, Maine, all the more interesting.
Westbrook Maine Facebook Pages
In a now-deleted post in the Westbrook Maine Community page on Facebook, a circumstance was being debated involving a neighborhood wedding, a possible jolted/offended neighbor, and parking fees.
According to Sam Kelly, a wedding was held at a home in a Westbrook neighborhood, at a home whose residents always "park their cars in the street," to the dismay of one neighbor, who decided to post a sign charging $10 for any wedding guest who parked in the street.
Also clearly noted on the sign was an instruction to "see uninvited neighbor."
Before the post was deleted from the Westbrook Maine Community page on Facebook, the debate happening in the comments section was whether or not this was a legitimate, passive-aggressive move by a neighbor who was offended/upset over not being invited to the wedding, or if it was just a joke between two neighbors.
While many commented that this seemed like it had to be a joke based on the highlighting of the lack of invite, the original poster, Sam Kelly, says no part of the sign was sarcastic or a joke.
You always have that one neighbor that has problems with all the neighbors.
Congratulations to the newly married couple, and hopefully these battling neighbors can someday mend fences (or maybe just put one up to avoid each other all together.)
