Some buildings have assigned parking spaces for residents, which would solve a lot of issues, or so you'd think. In this case, one resident was unable to park correctly, as he constantly parked over the line, eventually denting OP's car. At first, before the denting occurred, OP was annoyed that his neighbor was constantly parking over the line, leaving OP little room to park. But after finding dents in his car, without a note, OP was livid. His neighbor was not only irresponsible, inconsiderate, and had no manners, but he also was ruining OP's property.

OP needed proof, so he asked the property manager if the parking lot had cameras, but was told that unfortunately, it didn't. To be sure that the dents were caused by his neighbor and not by somebody else, OP measured the trajectory of their door to his car: the paint matched. So OP hatched a plan for petty revenge, deciding to correct his neighbor's awful behavior. Of course, this plan included some pretty equally terrible behavior. Scroll down to read exactly what happened next.

For more stories like this one, here is an employee who got even with his boss who decided to take away the other employees' stereo because he didn't like their Mexican music. To say his boss was surprised would be an understatement.

    Font - unfortunately they don't have cameras so I can't prove it was them aside from the paint. In my head I thought, "fine, want to fu k my car up have fun with all the dents I leave on yours."

    Font - Every day, I came home and saw them over the line or on it. I dented their car with my door. I left many dents. They since never parked on the lines or over it ever again. I trained my neighbor to not be a dick.

    Font - Eyes_Snakes_Art +2.4 hr. ago I parked, I was dented, I identified the culprit-it was evidently a resident; I put identical dents in their vehicle; I was quite ardent about it. Incidentally, they learned their lesson, and became prudent about parking correctly. Reply Share 13
