Young Man Mistypes Cat Instead Of Car, Disappoints Redditors Post Wasn't About Shared Family Cat With Built-In GPS Screen

by Chelsi

A 22-year-old's story disappointed avid Reddit readers after an unfortunate typo misled them into believing the post was about a timeshare cat everyone took turns caring for like a class hamster. OP's story was about his parents attempting to borrow his car.

OP lives with his parents and is home from college for his summer break. For as long as he can remember, his mom leased a new car every three years.

He got one of the cars she leased for years and eventually purchased when he turned 18. The title was transferred to OP, so he is the vehicle's legal owner.

His mom leased the newest version of OP's car for herself. It has updated features that OP's car doesn't have, except for a navigation system.

OP relies on his car's nav system to get him places. It is more convenient than pulling up a third-party navigation app on a separate device and strategically placing it on his dashboard without obstructing his view.

OP knew his mom loved the newer model car. She decided to buy it when the lease was about to expire.

That is why he was so surprised when she and his dad asked to borrow his car for an upcoming three-week trip. They asked for OP's car because of its built-in navigation system.

His mom said OP could use her car and enjoy the new features. OP declined because he had a doctor's appointment in another city he hadn't been to. His car's nav system was crucial.

Plus, he was the designated driver for the concert he and his friends were going to. OP didn't relent until his parents sheepishly backed out of the argument. Nevertheless, OP felt guilty.

The lack of cat in the post immensely disappointed plenty of the commenters.

OP owes Reddit one cat post after making people hope about a juicy family drama about a timeshare cat.

OP found out Redditors do not play about cats and animals. They would have reacted strongly if the post lived up to its title.

As for the actual issue OP had, he was not an a**hole. It was his discretion who could use his car. He also had valid reasons not to lend his car.

He couldn't fault his parents for asking, but they also shouldn't resent him for his decision.

Since his mom already owns the car she previously leased, couldn't she have a nav system installed?

I would have begged to borrow the cat from OP as well if that were the case.

What OP described was a non-issue. He felt guilty and learned you can still feel awful even when you make the right decision because our decisions can sometimes have a ripple effect.

If Redditors find OP again, he will be hounded until he delivers the cat story he had promised. More importantly, would you be interested in a cat leasing agency?
