Delivery guy refuses to move his van despite it blocking a resident's way out, resident decides to get payback while waiting by giving driver a taste of his own medicine: ‘I won't move’

When we were 16, and finally were old enough to get a driver's license, we always imagined being able to drive as the greatest thing in the world. Who didn't love the idea of no longer having to depend on our parents, public transportation, or Uber? Just getting in our car and driving wherever we want to, whenever we want to… Such a dream.

Even though that is still (kind of) how it works, there are a lot of things our 16-year-old selves did not consider when we first managed to get our hands on a driver's license. Things that make the driving experience slightly less magical than what we thought it would be, and that even deters some people from stepping into a car altogether. 

Traffic, for example, is a big part of that. Sure, going on a road trip this weekend would be great, but first, think about all the traffic you'll have to get through just to get out of the city. Who wants that?

Then we have all those people who think the road belongs to them, and that they can do whatever they want when they're on it, without thinking about anyone else, just like the driver in the story below. No 16-year-old thought they would have to deal with people like that when they got a driver's license, but it turns out it is just another daily feature of the whole driving experience.

    "You block my driveway? Fine, I'll block your van."

    This happened some years ago, but I still remember the situation very clearly. My house has a garage next to it and a driveway to get out of my property and onto the street. The

    Cue petty revenge: I was sitting in my car, still blocking half the street as I couldn't get out. The delivery driver finally finished his job, started his van and wanted to move

  • Drivers tend to look at certain car features and either use them the completely wrong way or not use them at all. Like those drivers who refuse to use their turn signals or people who honk at inappropriate times. These features are there for a reason – either educate yourself on how to properly use them, or get out of the car!

    Using the hazard lights as an excuse to leave your car at places you are not allowed to do so is another example of drivers completely ignoring the correct way they should use cat features. But at least this time, there was someone ready to educate the driver who did so.
