The motorist explained: “So we are the only two people in this apartment (it’s a duplex) and there’s a one-car garage that we both pay for.

“It’s first come, first serve. It’s up a very narrow and steep driveway that turns a corner, so you can’t really tell if anyone is already in it until you drive up.

“In nearly eight months, I’ve used it once (when she was out of town).”

The motorists reveals the neighbour works from home and rarely leaves the house.

They continued: “He moved her car back into the garage. I guess I figured, maybe she didn’t realise I have a car, and if she sees that I ‘gave up’ the garage after a week, she might do that same.

“Her car has been back in the garage for a month since that happened.”

Most Reddit users are on the motorist’s side in the comments.

One said: “Tell your neighbour if she plans on using the garage all the time; she needs to pay your half of the garage as well.”

Another said: “Talk to the landlord and tell him that you are no longer going to pay for a garage that you never get a chance to use.

“Plain and simple. He shouldn’t be charging both of you for the garage when it fits only one car.”

A third one simply suggested: “Park behind her.”
