A man ordered his dad's neighbour's car to get towed after they refused to move it from his driveway.
The son claims that the couple living next to his father kept blocking him in by parking on his property, reports the Mirror.
He took to social media to explain that his widowed dad doesn't drive all that much at the moment. However, he will occasionally head back to their hometown to spend time in places he once visited with his late wife.
The 30-year-old added that his father can go more than a month or so without moving his car. Therefore, his neighbours, a young married couple, will simply use his driveway as they don't have room on their own for their four cars.
The 62-year-old dad doesn't have too much of a problem with this arrangement, as he tends to leave his car in the garage. Whenever he needs to get out, he'll call the woman next door and she'll just move their vehicle out of the way.
However, a few months ago, the son claims things started to get awkward when his dad needed to get out, but the woman was nowhere to be seen. Posting on Reddit, he explained that her husband had been home all day, and although he'd asked him a few times to move his car, it took him a couple of hours to do so by which point it was too late.
The son said: "Yesterday, I went to visit [my father] and he wanted to take me to see some sports cars. He wanted to drive his car but the neighbour had his in my dad's driveway and so he went to ask him to please move it.
"He said yes but after 30 minutes of not seeing him my dad explained to me the above and I said 'no problem' and called someone to get it towed. The dude obviously freaked out when he saw what was happening and asked what the f*** was I doing.
"Apparently the dude doesn't have the right documentation for the car and can't get it back because he doesn't have the money, he's calling me an a******.While my dad doesn't agree with him he doesn't agree with me either, but man, my dad was doing him a favour and he acted like an entitled p****.
"However, if I was wrong in my acting I'm willing to say sorry and get him his s*** back."
The car parking problem sparked a conversation on social people, with people keen to share their thoughts on the situation. Many people felt that the son was in the right to get the vehicle towed.
One person said: "He was asked politely but didn't do it, so he has to handle the consequences. Not your fault his paperwork wasn't in order, sucks to be him."
Another added: "This guy was obviously taking advantage of your father's kindness. By your own account, this isn't the first time this guy has taken his time to move the car and left your dad stuck.
"Clearly being nice wasn't working. He was disrespectful and now he has to deal with the consequences."
