The call was to the property manager for the entire subdivision.<\/p>\n
Trevor had apparently forgotten one important detail: our neighborhood had strict rules about altering shared access points, blocking driveways, and placing permanent structures without approval.<\/p>\n
The manager arrived with the maintenance supervisor five minutes later.<\/p>\n
Trevor\u2019s smirk disappeared almost instantly.<\/p>\n
The concrete block had been placed partly across a utility easement and completely obstructed legal access to my property.<\/p>\n
He started backpedaling.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was only trying to keep her from damaging something.\u201d<\/p>\n
The manager looked at him.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy sealing another homeowner\u2019s driveway?\u201d<\/p>\n
Trevor had no answer.<\/p>\n
The workers were ordered to remove the block immediately. Then the manager photographed everything, took statements, and informed Trevor that he would be responsible for the removal costs and any damage caused to the pavement.<\/p>\n
That was when he came running toward me.<\/p>\n
\u201cDiane, please. Tell them this was just a misunderstanding.\u201d<\/p>\n
I looked at the concrete being lifted away.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou seemed pretty clear five minutes ago.\u201d<\/p>\n
The tire incident was never proven, so I did not accuse him of that.<\/p>\n
But his driveway stunt was documented.<\/p>\n
Afterward, Trevor stopped blocking me in.<\/p>\n
He stopped shouting comments.<\/p>\n
He even stopped watching when I parked.<\/p>\n
He had spent weeks insisting women should not drive.<\/p>\n
In the end, the only person who needed someone else to fix his mistake was him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
