A man has been left gobsmacked after being threatened with a parking ticket for sitting in his car to listen to a podcast. He explained how a patrol officer ordered him to go inside his house to finish off his podcast as listening to it on his driveway was "suspicious".
Taking to Reddit, he said: "I was driving home from a friend's house and was listening to a podcast while I drove. As I pulled into my driveway, the podcast was almost over (about 15 minutes) and I wanted to finish it. So I put the car in park per usual and sat back and finished listening, and lit a cigarette.
"I know that's kind of weird to just be sitting in my car but it never crossed my mind as illegal." The man, from Oklahoma, America, went on to explain how the patrol officer parked straight across his driveway to "block him in" before slowly approaching his vehicle.
