Well, well, well, if it isn't the consequences of your actions again. Well, guess what? If you can dish it, you have to be able to take it. So if you're going to be petty and stubborn, then you should be able to handle someone else being petty and stubborn. This is particularly true when it comes to the rules of the roads and the battle of finding the perfect parking space. 

 

In this case, it was a most-desired parking space outside of a school. And you know how parents can get… Sometimes not getting their desired parking spot can be what tips them over the edge. This guy found the perfect parking space outside of this school. And then a Karen pulled up right behind him throwing a tantrum, of course. She thought she could block him in to give her the public parking space that she felt entitled to. But this guy was ready to dedicate to the bit. You know what this guy did? He left his car park there… For TWO weeks!

  • Isn't that great? Two-weeks is some real dedication. You can't mess around with that. If you are that dedicated to pettiness, then we applaud you. Many on the internet agree and applaud you too!

  • "You can't park there!"

    I once parked in what somebody else deemed to be "their space" and to teach me a lesson, they blocked me in with their car and stayed sat in their car waiting for me to come back. I know it was deliberate because of the tirade of ab e they directed at me when I parked there. Not to mention that I'd often get people shouting at me when I parked there on the school run!

  • I figured they probably wanted me to go plead with them to move so I could get my car out so they could tell me off and make me apologise. Well they didn't get their own way. Being one who isn't afraid to cut his nose off to spite his face, I left the car there and walked home. The next day, I rode the bus and saw that my car was now free, so I could've drove it back.

  • Nope. Got the bus back as well. Then spent the next fortnight getting taxis there and back because, well, because I'm stubborn and petty like that. Two weeks later and I eventually went back and moved my car. Funny thing, no-one ever complained about me parking there ever again H

  • AmazingSully I think a better "revenge" would have just been to call the police. If you block someone in and refuse to let them out that's unlawful imprisonment in most jurisdictions.

  • saraheo83 This reminds me of a time that I parked in the walk up pharmacy only space to go to the walk up pharmacy window. The pharmacist asked me to come inside, so I did. When i got back to my car, some j was blocking me (idling in the lane, not in a space). I ignored him and got in my car. He wouldn't move. He pointed at the sign and wagged his finger at me. I just laid on my horn until he moved. He didn't deserve the whole back story on why I parked there!

  • rantheman76 I once parked in a public space in front of a house with a driveway. Not wanting to block their driveway, I moved it as close as I couldthe car parked before me. When I returned, home owner clearly blocked me in, parking his car angled to his driveway. I didn't bother knocking on his door, and I hoped he was watching, but I rolled my car back until our bumpers touched. Then with a big push, I put his car back enough so I could turn out.no damage to our cars, unless he parked it in ge

  • FrizzWitch666 World needs more people willing to make themselves uncomfortable to show other people that they're jerks. Your effort is appreciated! Husband tries to tell me this behavior isn't worth it. If I made you reconsider your actions at all, it totally was. And if you just got mad, it was still worth it.

  • incarnate_devil It only takes two weeks to change a habit. If they were forced to park somewhere else for two weeks, this changes the parking habit lol

  • erie774im I know that at my children's school there were places where you could and could not park for pick up or drop off. Those places were set up so they wouldn't interfere with traffic flow of the other parents as well as the school buses. You state, "Not to mention that I'd often get people shouting at me when I parked there on the school run!" It sounds like you were intentionally parking in a place that was going to inconvenience and/or outrage other

  • parents. If the spot you chose was merely a space that others liked because it was convenient for them but wasn't part of the school routine then tough tiddlywinks to them. If, however, the spot was specifically designated for school traffic flow and you were taking it unnecessarily then you had no reason to be there other than to infuriate other people.
