Today, my new neighbors moved in across the street. Also today, they began to park at the end of my driveway. Not used to a car being there, I backed out and promptly hit it. Welcome to the neighborhood. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I met my new neighbors when they backed into my parked car. FML
Today, some new people moved into the house next door to mine. The previous occupants were very loud and obnoxious day in and day out, so I was looking forward to some sanity. When I went outside, I noticed they'd parked their cars on my lawn. FML
Today, I tried to back my car into my parking space while some of my neighbors were out by their cars. I accidentally rammed into the retaining wall behind my spot. I was hoping the neighbors didn't notice the huge crunching sound, but they did. FML
Today, I was driving around a parking lot, looking for an empty spot. Someone was backing out a bit too quickly as I was about to pass by, so I honked to announce myself. The driver instead panicked and reversed into my front bumper. FML
Today, I came outside to leave for work. To my shock and horror my car was gone. My asshole neighbor, who has parked in my spot multiple times decided to let her noisy guests park in my parking spot, so I parked in hers. She had my car towed. FML
Today, I watched as the teenage neighbor girl tried to parallel-park between me and my wife's cars. She was doing pretty well until she backed into mine, got scared, hit the accelerator and ran into my wife's. FML
Today, my dad moved my car onto the street so he wouldn't accidentally back into it while moving our boat. My neighbor backed into it instead. FML
Today, I caught my new neighbor sticking his knob inside my car and pissing on my seats. His reason? I parked in his spot. FML
Today, I got a parking ticket for parking in my neighbors' parking spot. I parked there because my neighbors were parked in my parking spot. FML
Today, while in a parking lot, I accidentally cut someone off out of pure nervousness, as I'm a new driver. I got out of my car to apologize, and they responded by beating me and my car to a pulp with a baseball bat. FML

regardless of them now parking there, wouldn't you normally, idk, use your eyes when backing out?

I think they sell driver's manuals at Amazon. The book isn't a bad read. I recommend it. It'll tell you how to avoid situations like this for future references. You're welcome OP :-)

Did you mean they parked across your drive or opposite the drive? It is a bit ambiguous and an fml or ydi differs dependent on which it is. Across FML, opposite ydi.

Okay are they parking NEAR the end of your driveway, or are they BLOCKING your driveway? Because that's 2 entirely different scenarios there.

its illegal to block a driveway, make sure to mention that to the insurance.

I’m not sure that matters, as the op did not look back.

“They” say that retrospect is 20/20. In this case, “they” are wrong.

laws say that you can't park within 5 feet of a driveway

One day people will realize that the “back-up camera” is no substitution for turning your ******* head. Though I guess it’s hard to do with your head up your ass.

You can see a car directly behind you using a back-up camera, though. Especially if it's parked. The thing it's not great at seeing is cross traffic more than, say, 15 feet away from the side of your car.

They deserve it for blocking your driveway.

I don't believe that's a legal parking spot. Wouldn't they be held responsible?
