For better or for worse, parks attract a wide range of outsized personalities. There are the folks who want to keep to themselves, the ones who are actively trying to draw attention, and the ones who whether they know it or not are making everyone else's experience at the park miserable. Most of the time, we do not have the courage to confront these individuals, but every so often, the opportunity for some much-needed petty revenge arises.

With this particular scenario, which was shared by u/No_Sky_1829 in Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit, it all began in a couple's local dog park. A strange entitled soul, whom the couple called Zen Dude, would frequently do his yoga poses in the park while letting his two aggressive dogs run wild without any supervision. The monsters would frequently cause conflict with the other dogs present, especially the Redditor's innocent tiny pup. After a few difficult encounters, they happened to see which Zen Dude drove, which ended up being the "vehicle" for their vengeance, so to speak.

    We take our little dog to the local park every day and he loves socialising with the other dogs. Most people are lovely and they generally control any bad doggie antics. This one dude however used to turn up to do his yoga poses in the middle of the park. He brought two dogs every time, and they were mongrels. While Dude was posing on one foot and getting all zen, the dogs would terrorise us, racing at us, barking and growing, bowling over our little dog and making him yelp in pain (they were sh

    The first time it happened Dude called them off. The second time he didn't bother even when I yelled at him to control his dogs. The third time I called the local council to report him. They did try to help but by then the situation had ahem resolved itself lol

    I saw him driving down the street one day in his van. It was hard to miss him with the dogs leaning out the window barking their heads off at my dog. The van was a bit unusual and therefore easy to recognise.

    After that we banned the kids from the park if that van was there, for fear they would be attacked. Hubby & I avoided it too.

    Hubby turned up at the park one day, saw no van so let out dog off leash to play. Dude turns up and the usual chaos unfolds while he gets all yoga- zen. The dogs did hurt our dog that day, he was limping for the rest of the day. Hubby got out of there pretty fast and as he left he passed the van (which was out of sight of Zen Dude). The

    poopsparkle 17 hr. ago Good on your hubby. People like that are so annoying and We live on a very busy road where people often speed, and our dumbass neighbor would let her dog off the leash and just run to their car that was parked on the street.

    One time we were on a walk and her dog was, as always, off the leash and ran up to us and our dog. He was trying to play, but kept darting in and out of the road and my dog was visibly uncomfortable. Our neighbor just stood there as cars came barreling her dog's way. So, I grabbed her dog by the collar and pulled it over to her.

    She looked like I'd just slapped her dog in the face and said something like "Oh! No, don't hurt him." I just handed her dog to her, wordless, and have never seen him without a leash since. Leash your dogs, people!

    No_Sky_1829 OP. 1 hr. ago Some of them here do but most of our dogs parks double as sports grounds. They have signage saying it's a designated off leash area except when in use by the sports club (football, baseball etc). Everyone respects those rules because that's how people roll in Australia (mostly)
