When it came to his family, he’d have done anything for them. So when a rude neighbor chooses to exploit his kindness, he puts a stop to their behavior for good!
Close Family
The man and his parents live right next to each other in a terraced house. It’s a great living situation, and he loved being close to his parents. He enjoyed their company at the best of times, so nipping next door suited him perfectly.
A Good Neighborhood
The other neighbors have always seemed pretty decent, though they don’t have a great deal to do with one another. Living next to his parents means he only really tends to see and spend time with them. It’s a good neighborhood overall.
A Noisy Environment
One of the neighbors was having a big renovation on his house and had workers and trailers working on the house for long hours every day. It was very noisy, but that wasn’t a huge issue. It was to be expected with any sort of renovation work.
Road Blockages
The construction workers had their trailers all over the street for the whole day, which often made both parking and driving in and out of the road quite difficult. There was often the sound of car horns during the time the work was going on.
Local Gossip
A lot of the other neighbors chose to seize the moment to gossip incessantly about the annoying imposition. Of course, they never said it to the ones having the renovation; they preferred to do it secretly.
Neighborly Spirit
The man and his parents next door didn’t have an issue with it. They even told the neighbors it was no problem for them to use their driveways for the trailers/wagons when they were out during the day.
Keeping the Peace
It seemed a good way of keeping everyone sweet and on good terms. There was nothing worse than an altercation when people started taking sides. They wanted to prevent that from happening, and it didn’t cause any harm. It just meant the street could be kept clear.
A Surgical Intervention
Around this time, the man’s Dad (72) was diagnosed with renal colic and needed surgery. Everything went smoothly, but he wasn’t mobile for a while and needed to get plenty of rest. The man and his Mom looked after him to ensure he was well cared for.
Mobility Issues
Due to mobility issues, he was no longer able to use his bike or take walks as he usually would. While he was on the mend, he needed to use his car a lot more often than usual.
Change of Parking
The man went to see his neighbor and explained the situation. He said his Dad needed his spot regularly for the foreseeable future, so they were unable to put their trailer there anymore.
An Expectancy
Everything seemed good, and the man understood. Not that anything less had been expected; they’d been kind in letting him use the space, so they didn’t anticipate any issues anyway!
Broken Terms
However, it took him three days until he put his empty trailer back on his Dad’s driveway! His Dad had popped out briefly but realized he couldn’t park in his usual spot when he returned.
A One Off
The neighbor moved his car later that day, and for some reason, the man assumed it wouldn’t happen again. He chose not to say anything and just let the matter drop.
A Rude Assumption
He was wrong! A few days later, the neighbor did it again. This time, however, he went away for two days and left the car in the same space. It meant that the spot was useless to his Dad for the duration of his neighbor’s trip!
A Missed Opportunity
Maybe he should have tried to speak to the neighbor again, but he didn’t. His friends and family always said he had a short fuse and got mad pretty easily. He didn’t want to erupt at the neighbor, so he chose to leave it.
Intolerance to Rudeness
That said, he couldn’t stand rude and ignorant people, especially when it came down to something as simple as “Please stop blocking my sick dad’s driveway!”
Pushing Boundaries
On the second occasion that he came home from work and saw the empty trailer blocking his dad’s driveway, it was a bridge too far. He was angry and felt protective over his unwell Dad.
Testing the Situation
The man waited for the night to see if the neighbor moved it. He didn’t. By now, he was absolutely livid, but he had a plan to put an end to it. He wasn;t prepared to stand by and watch an entitled neighbor taking liberties!
A Plan Unfolds
At 1 a.m., he got up and walked over to his dad’s driveway. He carefully removed the break from the trailer and just pulled it out of the driveway. Once he was done, he started walking down the street and out into the fields with it.
Private Removals
They lived right at the border of the city to the surrounding wheatfields, so he pulled that trailer about a mile away into the fields. It was easy enough to spot for everyone who was walking or driving by.
A Clear Driveway
It was over three weeks ago, and since then, his dad’s driveway never had a trailer on it again! Granted, the road was busy again, and the neighbors were back to their gossip, but at least his dad had access to his car!
