Sometimes, the only way to teach someone a lesson is by blocking them into the parking spot they stole from you and refusing to let them leave. This isn't an ideal scenario, but neither was having your officially designated parking space taken from you. 

This Redditor came home from work only to find a car in his one parking spot. That car turned out to belong to his neighbor's friend, who was visiting for the evening. This gave the Redditor plenty of opportunity to keep the friend from leaving and to force him to come over and apologize in order to be let out and set free. It sounds like an adult version of timeout in a classroom and the kind of exercise that teaches kids to apologize. Unfortunately for stubborn adults like this guy, apologizing only gets harder and sometimes, you need to be forced to do it.

Keep scrolling below for the fallout. When you're done, here is another story about an employee who was warned for being too loud at work.

    Hopefully this fits here. Used to live in a duplex with a double car park at the end of the driveway. 1 car spot for each resident.

    Anyway, neighbour had a friend over and decided they would take the spare spot next to the neighbours car.

    I've come home after work to find someone in my car spot, so I did the only logical thing and parked directly behind them, blocking them from being able to reverse out of the tight driveway to go home.

    Content with my actions I went inside and told the wife my only hope was that they needed to leave before I did the next morning.

    Sure enough about two hours later there was a soft knock at our door and a very sheepish man

    tried to explain he didn't realise it was my park and he was very sorry. He asked could I please move my car? I said sure

    and moved so he could leave. Never saw him again. It was extremely satisfying. I only wish I'd have been outside to see his face when he realised he'd goofed.

    Supa_fly... 3h ago Exactly what you should do. I did this in HS. We had to pay for parking spaces. Twice a week I would get to school late

    because of the co- op college course I was taking. Some was always in my spot on those days. I left him a note twice and had to find a vacant unpaid spot halfway

    so of course they have special privileges. He didn't park there after I did that, though. Some people think rules don't apply to them. Smh.
