People seem to be split about the ethics of this prank. On the one hand, these high school kids were defending the little old ladies who apparently everyone knows unofficially have these parking spots so that they can be close to the accessible ramps. However, on the other hand, you can't exactly move someone else's car without their permission. Even if he's not a stand-up guy for taking this one lady's spot. Technically, they don't own the parking spot, as great as it is that the community respects their space. 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/JJQuantum, one of the high school football boys who got together to move this guy's car. Look, it's nice to see a group of football jocks at least think they're doing something for the good of mankind. That could be a first. However, maybe they could have just informed the guy that he was in this lady's unofficial spot; there's a chance he just didn't know better.

    Font - Blocking Old Lady's Parking Space When I was in high school I attended a Christian Church. There were only about 10 spots right next to the church and 2 were in a place with a ramp instead of steps in an alleyway along side. There were concrete walls one either side of the 2 spaces. Everyone in the church knew that those two spots were for a couple of literally little old lady's who had trouble walking but attended every Sunday. The rest of us parked in a lot about a block away that the b

    Font - One Sunday I noticed one of the lady's cars in the business lot. When I walked in I noticed that a pretty jerky guy had parked his VW Beetle in her usual space. Once the service ended I grabbed a couple of friends who were high school football linemen and, after the one lady had left, we quickly picked up the car end by end and made it perpendicular to the spots so the concrete walls were just a couple inches from each bumper.

    Human body - I'm not sure how they got the car out but I'm guessing they had to call a wrecker.

    Font - meijad 18 hr. ago In highschool, some folks thought parking tightly at my front and rear of my VW bug would be an inconvenience. My friends and I just picked it up and rotated it so we could leave. I miss that car. 191 Reply Share

    Font - BeautifulPhantom1. 18 hr. ago Yeah, showing my age here, but when I went to high school, this was a pretty common prank with VW bugs. Will say the best one was when the shop class disassembled the principal's Bug and re- assembled it on the roof. 130 Reply Share

    Font - KathyKAustin1234. 16 hr. ago We enjoyed pranking the HS band director. One morning, he was delayed by a meeting during our first period band practice, so all the guys picked up hid VW Beetle from the parking lot and carried it into the band room, replacing his director's podium. His look of absolute disbelief was something I remember -ahem- over 50 years later.

    Font - Alexis_J_M 18 hr. ago . This is the important question. Did everyone just assume it was common knowledge that those spots were reserved?

    Font - MoreThanANumber666. 18 hr. ago I've had my run ins with arrogant inconsiderate parkers over the years, on one occasion I had an in a white MGB GT park two inches from my front bumper and another mouth-breather, leave his/her car Black Mercedes closer still to my rear bumper. I went and bought an indelible marker, scrawled on the hood of the MG and the same on each glass surface of the Mercedes (including the mirrors), pushed both cars out of the way and drove off. Not my proudest moment b

    Font - Pleasant_Studio9690. 15 hr. ago Thirty years ago, I got cornered by a 90-year- old retired guy in the hardware store he'd founded. He used to come in to talk with and help the customers. One day while talking my ear off, he told me about the time he and his friends disassembled the headmaster's buggy and reassembled it on the roof of the old high school. Made me laugh. Pranks haven't changed much. The props are just different than they used to be.
