AITA for wanting my sister’s junk cars towed off my driveway after years of dealing with their mess? (So much more to it but gonna keep this just about this situation)
I live in a house that is legally under my dad’s name, but I am the one who lives here full-time and pays the household expenses. My dad does not reside here (he lives in Puerto Rico and only visits occasionally).
A couple of years ago, my sister’s husband got pulled over. He does not have a driver’s license, had & continues to have active warrants, and his car was already having major mechanical issues. From what I understand, he ran a red light (likely on purpose, cannot prove it but i have a hunch, because the car was failing). Instead of the car being towed to a lot, they somehow had the white Kia SUV towed to my driveway, without asking me or getting my consent.
At the time, my dad happened to be visiting. He was told after the fact and didn’t fully understand the long-term impact.
That white Kia has now been sitting in my driveway for over two years, not running, not moved, and completely abandoned.
During that same period, my dad also lent my sister and her husband his blue Honda, a car I personally kept in mint condition for him. They completely destroyed it….brakes, axle, major mechanical issues, you name it. The car is essentially junk now. My dad even paid their insurance monthly, and to this day we continue receiving unpaid tickets and unpaid toll bills in his name because of their negligence. They do not pay them.
Fast forward to now: they recently dumped the blue Honda civic in my driveway again without my consent. So now I have two junk cars blocking my driveway, preventing me from properly parking my own car, making it difficult to bring trash bins out, and creating serious problems during winter parking bans and snow emergencies. If I park behind them, my car blocks the sidewalk, which could get me fined.
When I finally spoke up and explained that this isn’t fair, that I live here and deal with the consequences, and that I never agreed to this, their response was essentially:
“Dad said it was okay.”
When I pointed out that my dad doesn’t live here and that I’ve been dealing with their mess for years, my sister became dramatic and told me “don’t talk to me again.”
At this point, I’m done. I want both cars gone and I’m considering having them towed or contacting the city. I feel like I’ve been more than patient and have absorbed years of consequences for choices I didn’t make.
So… AITA for finally putting my foot down and wanting both cars removed from my driveway?
