Neighbour blocked my mum's spot - she didn't see my revenge coming

A homeowner has vented their anger after a neighbour decided to park in front of her mum's disabled spot, essentially blocking her in. Taking to Reddit, a user called Penny_b_ posted what happened on the subreddit r/AITAH.

AITAH stands for 'am I the a******', it is often used by concerned users seeking other people's opinions on whether they did the right or wrong thing under certain circumstances. In this instance, Penny posted about a personal conflict and asked others to judge, claiming a neighbour caused issues for her mum with an 'inconsiderate' act, but got swift revenge by towing the car.

The Reddit user wrote: "I 29(F) let my mother move in with me. She is physically disabled after crashing her car in 2020. In front of our house, we have a handicapped spot for her. We had to go through a bunch of hoops and hurdles for her to have that spot in front of our home.

"My neighbour has been extremely inconsiderate lately. Her reason for parking in my mother’s spot is, 'It’s a pain in the a** to park in my drive way. Your house is beside mine. It’s not a big deal'. Yeah… like my mother not being able to walk long distances due to her disability is 'not a big deal'.

"She parked in my mother’s spot again as we were coming home from the store. I went to her house and knocked. She answered the door, and said, 'What the hell do you want?'

"I said, 'Hey I’m not trying to be a burden. Can you please move your car. My mother is waiting in the car for you to move. My mother is disabled and cannot walk far distances. Last time you parked there we had to park all the way down the street. It was hard for my mom to walk.'

"My neighbour said, 'It’s a public street.' She slammed the door in my face. I grabbed my mother and helped her into the house. I parked the car down the street. I went into the house and called the non emergency line. They gave me the number to call to get that car towed. An hour later, the towing company came by and towed her car."

At the end of the post, Penny said: "My neighbour saw the car being towed and cursed me out. For literally parking on my private property because I own that house. AITAH?"

Many people took to the comment section to share their thoughts on the matter. One person said: "NTA. She shouldn’t have been parking there if she wasn’t handicapped. Do not feel bad at all, you did the right thing."

A second said: "It's a signposted disabled spot, neighbor had zero business parking there. She should have been fined and towed." A third put': "I would have her towed EVERY SINGLE TIME she parks in that space. Eventually she will learn you mean business."

A fourth asked: "How can it be that parking in her own driveway is less convenient than parking in front of OP's house? Maybe I'm missing something????" Penny replied: "It’s because her driveway is an inclined hill or some bs like that. She just likes causing problems."
