My neighbor walks up and down my driveway to tend to her plants?
My driveway is next to her backyard so it's convenient for her to walk up my driveway to her plants. She has some shrubs there and is always outside. I have no privacy; her lawn people are always on my driveway as well. Well, because she passed by as if she owns the place, I just parked my car all the way in to make it hard for her to go by, this way she is forced to use her own side on the left of her house. She's not a nice person, nosy as well. AM I being anal? What would you do?

I thought it was just the watering of the plants but is seems to be everything and everyone else so no. that's not on. My friend has the same problem, the landlord is always sniffing around. He even looked at here meter and asked of she was using electricity! It would be good if you can say something but it's really awkward. If she's not a nice lady then I wouldn't want to say anything anyway. There are some strange people out there for sure.

Well you can't really complain about her being outside if you don't have a fence. I like what you are doing about the cars in the driveway. at my house, I don't have a driveway, but this sound like the way my parents house is. Between the houses is your driveway, and about a 4 foot strip of her grass. Other than parking the cars there, I would sit out and bbq while playing music that she won't like, when you know she is in bed.
If she confronts you, you can come back with what your problem is in a nice way, and come to an agreement. I will say this though. I would rather her with a nice lawn than load hill billy, that don't maintain the house.

She probably doesn't even realise she's annoying you - why don't you just talk to her politely and tell her you'd prefer if she didn't walk on your side? Playing obnoxious music or poisoning her plants will just start a neighbourhood war.

No, I hear you! I'd be just as annoyed. Boundaries need to be respected. You could leave a note on her door when you know she's gone if you don't feel like confronting her face to face. If you live with someone else, just tell her that your ________ (sister, boyfriend, husband) is bothered by it and "could you please keep the plant care on YOUR side of the fence?"

You could either ask her to keep herself and her maintenance people off your property, or you can plant a cactus garden next to her shrubs. If you're not into growing abrasive plants, buy a small syringe and a bottle of motor oil. Every other night, inject oil at the base of her shrubs. They will die, and nothing will ever grow there.
