'[I] let the air out': Guy gets even with aggressively parked lifted truck driver who parked too close to his vehicle

There's something about driving vehicles that gets that "monkey rage" part of our brain all riled up, just simmering there, ready to do unspeakably feral things as if we're suddenly no more socially developed than a caveman during the caveman days… If you ask an expert (I'm not one), they'll probably tell you that it has something to do with the degree of separation we experience when we're cruising around in the relative safety of our own two-ton metal box that is continually propelled by a series of controlled dinosaur explosions. This is the same degree of separation that encourages a Reddit keyboard warrior to type things they'd never dare say to anyone's face. 

This same lack of thinking extends into the way we park our metal boxes, which is sometimes done errantly and without regard for other monkeys' metal boxes. Well, when a truck parked aggressively close to this guy's vehicle, he wasn't having any of it and promptly exacted a little petty revenge. 

As a side note here, speaking as someone who has been punched in the face in a parking lot, don't attempt this one at home…

    Font - Posted by u/lawdog4020 6 hours ago 2 I came out of the grocery store and found a truck parked 1 inch from my driver's side door. So I park and walk into the grocery store for some essentials. When I parked there were no cars around me. I come back out to find a very large lifted Dodge parked next to me on my driver's side. As I

    Font - approach the car I see it, there is maybe a inch of clearance between this truck and my car as it is parked over the line in my spot. Rage is putting it lightly when I say I was upset. At this point I climb in my passenger side and get into my seat. Backing out with the truck this close was even a pain, I had to fold in my mirror to

    Font - not hit it. As I am backing out my petty brain took over. I readjusted my car and parked so I could get out of my driver side door. I grabbed a pen I had in the car and proceeded to let the air out of the trucks passenger side tires. I can't tell you how satisfying it was to watch that

    Font - overgrown pos mobile shrink to the ground one tire at a time. I did two because no one carries two spares and I figured they deserved the inconvenience. I then got back in my car and left. Didn't get to see the aftermath but I have enjoyed picturing it in my mind many times.

I had about 6 inches clearance so not super close but no way was I getting in my car. I asked the guy as he got out "could

    Font - you just pull back and let me in my car.". He gave a quick glance and said "you can get in" brushing me off. I'm not a very confrontational person so I decided I'd just have a cigarette and wait. Then I had an idea. I sat on the hood of his

    Font - TPatches1989 - 5 hr. ago I got blocked in before. After my initial rage I called my friend who lived nearby with a 4x4 to come help out. I wrapped a rope around their axel and dragged their car and left it in a £1000 fine no parking area. No idea what the outcome was as I was then free to leave and continue my life. Reply Share 1.3k

    Font - Dude came out, flipped his sho actually asked us if we saw who parked next to his car like that. Told him nope! Finished our ice cream as we watched him try to wiggle in from tbe back windshield from the bed of the truck. Squirmed ans everything, very entertaining. The moment my car door was clear, my friend and I got into our cars and drove off, making sure he saw us. 145 Reply Share ●●●

    Font - ConfusedAt63 · 6 hr. ago Diagonal deflated tires makes it nearly impossible to jack a car up without two jacks! I got trapped (kinda) on my property by a deer hunter parking outside my gate. Luckily I do have another exit/entrance through my neighbors pasture, but shooing cows is a real hard for one person!

    Font - was understanding that day when he was surprised at my driving across the pasture. I did not tell him about the tires being flat because I knew he would assist the idiot and I wanted the idiot to have a big hassle for blocking me in. The entire road through the woods to my driveway has no hunting signs posted every 100 feet or so as required by law in our area. The truck was gone when I arrived home from work. 284 Reply Share
