They decided to take matters into their own hands
An elderly couple who were left stumped when an entitled neighbour built his driveway through their garden. The empty plot of land next to the couple's home was untouched for many years before being sold to its new owner, according to Glasgow Live.
"A few doors down the road there lived a nice old couple who until recently had had a vacant lot next door to them, but the lot had sold and the new owner had started construction on a new house. Unfortunately the lot was so steep that the new owner built his driveway partly on the old couple’s land - it was carved out of the hillside with an excavator.
He continued: "They were pretty upset, but being nice, reasonable people, they figured it was an honest mistake, so they went over to talk to the machine operator. He didn’t know anything useful, but he was happy to give them the phone number of the new property owner. Unwilling to take legal action due to the cost, the couple considered other ways to resolve the issue, with the Redditor saying: "The situation stewed for a while as construction continued on the new house, until one day when my friend’s dad saw the old couple in the neighbourhood and they started chatting. Of course they told him the story about the a***hole new neighbour.
When the work crew arrived the following morning, they found they couldn’t drive to the house they were building because an old F-150 was parked across the driveway. "There was no way the construction guys were going to haul all their tools up the hill by hand, and they didn’t want to get in the middle of a legal battle, so they just called the new owner to let him know they’d be taking the day off and that they’d continue to take days off until the property boundary dispute was resolved.
