Abbie Chatfield clashes with a woman in Bondi after she blocked the star's driveway - before gleefully bragging about her 'punishment' on social media
has clashed with a woman in Bondi after she illegally parked her car and blocked the star's driveway. The podcast host went on a wild TikTok rant about the incident this week. Abbie said she was taking her dog Walter out for a walk when she noticed a British woman had parked her Mazda 'halfway over the driveway' and blocked the apartment complex's entryway. As she had heard in the past that 'people from England drive recklessly', she tried to help the woman, advising that it was illegal to park in the space. 'She's not from here, I thought she was confused,' she explained. However, the advice went down like a lead balloon, with Abbie claiming that the 'pom' began yelling at her and refusing to move. 'She was yelling, "I didn't ask you." I told her I didn't want to fight.' Despite further explaining to the woman that it was already a 'nightmare' to get out of the narrow driveway, she was met with laughter and sass from the driver. Abbie then addressed the reaction with her fans, saying: 'Why are you laughing that you're committing a crime? Why are you laughing that you're being incredibly disrespectful, blocking someone's driveway, and yelling at a stranger?' However, karma was seemingly in Abbie's favour as she later posted a follow-up video showing a parking ticket for $330 on the windshield of the Mazda. 'Well, well, well…. I tried to warn her,' the Love Island alum joked. Fans flooded the second TikTok clip with praise for Abbie's actions, while gushing over the satisfaction of seeing her get the last laugh. 'I would sit on the deck with a coffee and wait for the show to start,' one person wrote. Another added: 'I feel literally so content right now…' The media personality posted a video to TikTok on Sunday ranting about the incident, which saw her get in a heated argument with a British foreigner who had illegally parked in her Bondi driveway 'I'm so petty I would have written… 'you should have listened,"' one fan hilariously shared. 'Oooft $330 is a big one too she's gonna regret that haha,' another penned. One fan chimed in: 'Could not love this more.' 'I love when things just fall into place perfectly,' another wrote. It is illegal in Australia to obstruct access to a driveway with your vehicle. Fines can range between $100 and $590 depending on local council rules.

Karma after Abbie Chatfield's ‘crazy' parking spot interaction
A British woman has copped a $330 fine after she parked across the driveway of a well known media personality, who tried to help her avoid the blunder. Abbie Chatfield, who lives in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs, shared that she was walking her dog Walter when she had the 'craziest interaction' outside her apartment block. The 30-year-old revealed that while outside she witnessed a British woman drive up the street, almost hitting Chatfield's car, before proceeding to park 'halfway across the driveway'. 'You could not get a car out at all,' Chatfield said. The It's A Lot podcast host said she wasn't going to say anything until the woman asked for her friend's opinion on the park. That's when Chatfield, who is dating musician Adam Hyde, tried to help the woman. 'I said, 'It actually isn't' because I thought she was confused about the parking rules,' she said. 'I've seen things online about people from England parking recklessly, and I thought maybe she was confused. She's obviously not from here and I was trying to help her to let her know it was illegal.' But, the woman then said that she 'wasn't asking' Chatfield, and when the former reality star tried to explain that people with 4WDs and utes wouldn't be able to get out, the woman argued that 4WDs could drive 'over the gutter'. The woman then refused to move her car, while she and her friends laughed at the Australian star. Chatfield was left stunned by the interaction, saying all she was trying to do was help the woman and her neighbours. Chatfield also revealed that parking rangers are often in the area, saying that before Hyde obtained a parking permit he would be fined for staying as little as 10 minutes longer than he was supposed to. 'I was trying to help her. I thought she was actually wondering. Then she starts yelling at me in this Cockney accent,' Chatfield said. But, it seemed like Chatfield got the last laugh in the end because, as she predicted, the woman copped a fine for blocking the driveway that amounted to $330. 'Well, well, well. I tried to warn her. I tried to tell her. There's also parks up the entire street but she wanted to be a c***,' she said. 'Sorry darling, it's going to cost you.' Fellow social media users felt that the woman got what was coming to her after her rude response to Chatfield. 'I would sit on the deck with a coffee and wait for the show to start,' one social media user said. Another added: 'I'm so petty I would have written, 'You should have listened'.' 'I feel literally so content right now,' one commented. One social media user added: 'Oooft $330 is a big one too. She's gonna regret that.' 'I love this for her,' another said. Another added: 'The way I'm cackling at this.' '$330 as the fine is just so satisfying to me,' one said. 'Brilliant', 'karma' and 'splendid' were among some of the comments on the video. One social media user said it was the 'best possible outcome'.
