We love the elderly, but getting them to change their often old-fashioned ways is a challenge not many can deal with.
When older people get used to doing something in a certain way, you will not find it easy to get them to change. Even if your way is better and easier, they will most likely not want to know about it, and won’t care one bit that it saves them time and money. That is why most of our parents still call us whenever their phones get a new update, and they start to panic when something, even the smallest thing, changes from the way it used to be. And why most of our grandparents hold on to their old, what we like to call, “dumbphones”.
As long as their insistence on keeping at it in their old ways doesn’t hurt anybody, we don’t really care if they refuse to change. Everyone can understand wanting to be comfortable and not constantly dealing with change. But if their old ways actually get in the way of someone else, like what happens in this story, we find ourselves forced to teach them a lesson.
The elderly man below has been parking in front of someone else’s driveway for 30 years now. Somehow, he made it work with the last owner, but now there’s a new owner, and they don’t like it when their driveway is constantly blocked. They rent that parking spot and pay money every month for the convenience of always having a place to park, so when they get home and always see someone else parked in their private spot, it understandably gets on their nerves.
The fact that this old guy has been parking in that spot for years does not matter to the current owner, and while they tried to be polite with their requests to get the guy to move his car, it has reached a point where words are not enough. After many disputes, the owner realised it’s time for action.
