I have an idiot neighbour who frequently blocked my gate. I am not sure where he works but he comes home at about 3 o’clock in the morning. By then, all the parking spaces along the road have been taken up, so he just parks right in front of my house. Then he would leave at 2 o’clock in the afternoon!

He lives in a bachelor house next door. I used to knock on his gate but no one would answer. Even if I met one of the other bachelors in the house, they would claim they do not know each other so they can’t help me call him. I put notices on the windscreen but he doesn’t care. He continues to park there almost everyday. I even put a notice on his windscreen asking for his number so I can call him but he just threw the notice on the ground.

I even met the idiot a few times and told him to his face not to park in front of my house. A few days later, he would be back blocking my gate!

So I called MBPJ. I explained my situation and the lady at the end of the line told me jokingly, “Kenapa tak pecah dia punya gelas?”

I told her I would if I was allowed to. The idiot neighbour has been blocking my gate for more than 10 months! I have been very, very patient!

She told me not to worry. She will send an officer to summon him.

You cannot simply park in any place that is not a proper parking space. The fine is RM30.00 but if you don’t pay on time, it goes up to RM100.00.

But you know what? He still parked there! You don’t believe me? Take a look at how many summons he received:

So I complained to MBPJ again and this time they said to make a police report. The police came to the house and sure enough, they saw the car blocking my gate. I wasn’t in but my other neighbour was and he came out to talk to the police. The idiot neighbour also parks in front of his gate but he was too scared to make any report.

The police flashed their siren blue lights and knocked on the idiot’s gate. He did not come out. But the police told my good neighbour that they would return again. Then they left.

As soon as they left, the idiot neighbour came out and re-parked his car!

And after that, he never did it again.

I like having good neighbours but this idiot neighbour doesn’t know how to be part the community. So he is going to RM1000.00 in fines.
