Son Uses Parents As Makeshift Traffic Cones To Hold His Parking Space

A businessman in China is using his parents as traffic cones so he doesn’t lose his parking space.

The two elderly parents have been pictured sitting on the road in the city of Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu Province, in the past week.

They take turns guarding the coveted parking spot so it is reserved for their son, it was reported, often staying out in the rain to perform their duty.

The two pensioners sit on stools in the road to hold on to the parking space.

The images have proved controversial in China, with many people criticising the businessman for using his parents in this way.

Originally, both parents sat out at the same time to guard the space, until they realised one person - along with a traffic bollard - was sufficient to keep the spot.

The elderly couple have two children, a daughter and a son - he told them they would see all kinds of interesting things on the street while guarding his space, reports said.
