A man has slammed his "entitled" neighbours after they refused to move their car from his driveway.
The dad allowed his neighbours to use his driveway as a parking space but when he asked them to give it up, they refused, forcing his son to intervene. Taking to Reddit, the son explained that his 62-year-old dad only has one car, that he keeps in his garage.
Because he doesn't use the driveway, and the neighbours have four cars, the man allowed them to leave of of their vehicles outside of his home, in front of his garage. But he was left angered by their response, the Mirror reports.

In the post on Reddit, he said: "My dad doesn't drive that much right now, but from time to time he likes to go back to our hometown and just spend the day in the places he and my mum used to go. Problem with this is that he can last a month or so without moving the car and thus his neighbours, a married couple in their 20s, use his driveway because they own four cars and don’t have the space.
"My dad doesn't have that much of a problem with it since he leaves his car in the garage and told me that whenever he needs to get it out, he just calls the girl, and she moves the other car."
But the arrangement stopped working when the woman wasn't home one day, so he had no choice but to ask her husband to move the car, which he only did after over an hour of waiting. And the neighbour's bad behaviour didn't stop there, as the same thing happened during the man's recent visit to his dad's.
The man continued: "It was fine until a few months ago when apparently the girl is nowhere to be found and the guy is home all day. My dad had asked him a few times to please move the car and the dude just says, ‘yeah, sure', and takes an hour or two to do so, by which point my dad can't drive it because it's already too dark for him to see properly."
Instead of waiting around, the man decided to teach the neighbour a lesson and had his car towed away. He added: "My dad 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, I called someone to get it towed.
"The man obviously freaked out when he saw what was happening and asked what I was doing. Apparently he doesn’t have the right documentation for the car and can't get it back because he doesn't have the money. But man, my dad was doing him a favour and he acted like an entitled p***k."
Many people were quick to comment on the neighbour who "overstepped" the boundaries. One person wrote: "Your dad was doing him a favour, giving him a privilege which he overstepped on. Not to mention if the dude has four cars and can’t park them, then he needs to sell some or find a proper place to store them."
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."
