    r/ProRevenge . Posted by u/TheSphinxt 12 hours ago D Block my parking spaces for months? Hope you like dog I was living in a very large and expensive city, in what had once been the servants quarters of an extremely large Victorian house. The whole house was broken up into apartments that progressively grew larger and nicer as you went up... I lived on the bottom floor with my then SO.

    After being there for about a year we got a new upstairs neighbor, which ended up being not so great. Both SO and I worked in the hospitality industry and as a result kept late hours but tried to keep it respectful with the coming and going in the wee hours.

    Upstairs neighbor worked normal human hours and when she wasn't working she seemed to always be talking on speaker phone and pacing around in heels on the hardwood floors. I've had neighbors with much worse habits so I basically tuned it out, but apparently our schedule was very inconvenient for her. Lots of complaints about the noise we made, hours we kept, about my dog, and kind of anything else you could imagine. The landlord mostly liked us so it never went too far, but still annoying.

    We probably could have coexisted like that for years, but one night I got back from work and there was a strange station wagon parked diagonally across both of our alley parking spaces, making it impossible to park even one other car there. One of the perks of having the least impressive of all the building's apartments was 2 parking spaces that the landlord included with our lease. He was really good about keeping other tenants from parking there and we really appreciated it since parking in th

    Everyone in the building was very well aware those spots belonged to us. We had occasionally let other people in the building park there if we were going out of town, or if they didn't mind being blocked in (like if they were out of town but leaving their car). We mostly bike commented so usually both of our cars were there, but on this particular evening we had both been using our vehicles. We figured someone had parked there on accident and would be back soon, but 2 hours later the car was sti

    The landlord showed up and told us it was our upstairs neighbor's car and that she had left the country for the next 4 months. He also refused to tow the car because she was a tenant and he had no actual spine. So for 4 months we were going to have to pay to park 2 cars. And every single time I took my dog out for a walk or a I had to walk right past her car.

    I was tempted to slash tires. Break the windshield. Key the out of it. Sugar in the gas tank. You name it, I thought about it. But I also don't want you get in any legal trouble and stack up even more bills on top of what was already going to be an expensive situation. So... what to do? How to express my boundless rage without committing any actual crime?

    About 3 weeks in I was out with my dog and while I was passing her car I basically saw red. Before I even realized what I was doing, I was smearing the dog I had just picked up all over her door handles laughing like a lunatic. And I kinda felt better. So I just kept doing it.

    For almost 3 months, ever single time I took my fairly large dog out to drop a deuce in the neighborhood I rubbed all of it on station wagon. And I that got pretty creative! Door handles, the grill, the windshield wipers, crevices around the windows and sunroof, all up in the side mirrors,

    cracks in the doors, the little gutters on the roof, the locks, into the gap around the hood... If you can get to it without breaking in, I got to it and it was chalk full of dog . And since my city was pretty famous for its precipitation, the excess was regularly rinsed off which hid the absolutely incredible amount of that was all up in that car, while also helping a dog slurry get deep in those cracks and crevices. It was absolutely disgusting and honestly I felt pretty proud of myself.

    I wasn't there to see her get into the car for the first time, neither of us were. But I do know that I got home one night and the car was moved. She never spoke to or even made eye contact with either of us ever again, but I did see the car with a "for sale" sign around the neighborhood for several months before she moved out.

    No-Lynx4923 10 hr. ago I probably would have thrown bird seed over the roof and bonnet every time I went past it as well. Birds all over the car and pecking at it and scratching it with their talons would the definitely paintwork nicely

    SOOS VALUE KNOW TheSphinx OP. 2 hr. ago This is certainly the route my current self would have taken. At the time I was 21 and practicality wasn't part of my vocabulary yet. -based revenge was about as good as I could do at that point lol.
