Well, this is annoying

And, let me ask you a question: is chivalry dead?!?!

You’ll understand why I’m asking that question when you get into the details of the story below.

A woman explained why she’s frustrated with her roommate AND her roommate’s boyfriend about the parking situation at their house.

Let’s take a look at what she’s dealing with.

AITA for wanting my parking spot back?

“I (f18) moved into a house a few months ago.

I rent a room, and part of the agreement is that I get a parking spot in the driveway since it’s just my roommate and I living in the house.

I work at a restaurant and usually don’t get off work till 12-1 am we live in a very crowded neighbourhood where we’re one of the few houses to actually have a driveway so instead the other houses will park their cars on the street.

Move the car, dude!

My roommate’s boyfriend spends five nights out of the week at our house and I don’t have an issue with it, other then he always parks in my spot in the driveway, making me park a block away and walk to my house in the dark.

My roommate’s boyfriend doesn’t pay rent or pay for that parking spot where as I do and every time I talk to my roommate about her boyfriend parking in my spot she always says “oh I’ll go talk to him about it” but never actually does.

This is really annoying.

I just realized I never said this before but I have talked to him about it all he said back to me was “when [roommate’s name] tells me to stop then I’ll stop, you’re not in charge of me.”

AITA?”

This is so rude!

She should not be forced to walk home in the middle of the night because this guy thinks he can park wherever he wants.

She needs to put an end to this NOW.

This guy sounds like a real piece of work…
