Is my dad or sister at fault in this situation?

Question

There was an argument in my house last night between my dad and older sister (im sort of getting used to them because of their frequency) but I was wondering who's more to blame for this...

I just cleaned the floor in the kitchen and my sister comes downstairs after napping all day.  she insists on getting food at that exact moment while the floor is drying.  my dad tells her to wait five minutes.  she then walks into the kitchen gliding on paper towels not listening to me dad. my dad starts screaming at her, and then my sister calls him crazy three times.  she says that she always cleans but nobody cares and the house gets trashed anyway (true, she does usually clean, but at least I don't trash it).  my dad bans her from driving the car for a week, using profanity throughout the discussion while my sister remained quiet.  then later, while me and my dad are at church, we come home and see her car is gone, and we later find out that she drove to my grandmas house to sleep there for the night because she was so angry.  

So, who's wrong in this situation?  (And thanks for reading, I know it was long)

They are BOTH wrong.  Neither is listening to the other.  Your Sister is ignoring your Father and your Father is not only "cursing" at your Sister and ignoring the fact that she is cleaning and taking care of the home.  They need to sit down alone and "clear" the air of whatever the "real" problem is.  There is something between the two of them that is causing "the real" problem and only they know what it is..  I don't know how old your Sister is but it may mean that she may have to move in with your Grandmother if things continue down this route...it isn't healthy for either your Sister or your Father.
If they cannot resolve this by "talking" it out peacefully then they need to be separated.  The peace has to be kept in a household.  They cannot just be going at one another all the time.  They are totally "ignoring" one another.
Peace, Love & Happiness

In my opinion your Dad over reacted to your sister being silly.
If he wants to ground her, he had better learn how to do it better. 
Cars can be disabled. 
However your sister can take public transportation or hitch hike.
So your whole family is just going thru growing pains, and in a few more years (or maybe 10 years) U all can laugh about this stuff.

The Dad. He shouldn't have flipped out on ur sister. Atleast ur sister used towls to dry the floor when she walked so footprints wouldn't be left. I think it would teach ur dad a lesson (her leaving). She never argued or nothing.

Your sister needs to learn to respect your father and the house rules... I think your sister was at fault.  You treat people how you would expect and want to be treated.  Your father should take the car away from her if she can't obide by his rules... and take it away for good.  She sounds spoiled and needs to learn the hard way... tough love.

She can get her own car when she grows up, gets a job, and a loan from the bank!

i think they'er both at fault because your dad should'nt got that mad at her for sliding in the kitchen, but it's also your sisters fault because she talked back rudely to your dad and took the car any ways.

your sister shouldn't have disobeyed your dad, but you dad shouldn't have been so harsh.
