Having a borderline road rage incident with your neighbor certainly does not make for a harmonious, neighborly existence moving forward.

Sometimes, however, entitled behavior needs to be called out regardless of who it is. Of course, it's easiest to call out this kind of behavior when it's coming from a total stranger, with whom you likely will never interact in the future, but that's hardly brave. It's far braver to confront the person you will likely see again and to say that their actions and behavior are unacceptable. 

Keep scrolling below for this story of how a resident got even with his neighbor, who was blocking the street and refusing to move.

    I went to visit my parents last week and saw their neighbor's old car parked there, which reminded me of the one and only interaction I had with him, about 20, 21 years ago.

    The neighbor had (still has, I just saw it last week) a very old car in somewhat decent shape, I'm sure holds sentimental value for him but it's not a fancy or rare model, just old, maybe late 70's or early 80's.

    At the time, my wife and I had just married and we were saving money by living in an apartment that belongs to my parents, right next to their house. Both my wife and I had each our own cars and

  • This guy's neighbor had an extremely identifiable car, mostly because it was old and big. So, when the resident was driving to get his car serviced one day, he saw that his neighbor was blocking the street, thereby forcing other drivers to back up. There was no sense of urgency or desire to make matters easier for other drivers on the road, which, of course, made the neighbor everyone's enemy.

    As I was driving down the main avenue, I hit some traffic, so I turned onto a parallel, narrower, one-way street. That's when I came across this idiot, going the

    wrong way and blocking the entire road. In front of him was another car, facing the correct direction, unable to pass. The driver of that car honked and

    yelled, but the j refused to move. After a while, the frustrated driver gave up, backed out, cursed at him, and left.

  • Thankfully, the resident's wife was driving her car right behind him because they were planning on driving home together after he left his car at the repair shop. That's when the resident enlisted the help of his wife to get even with their neighbor and to give him a taste of his own medicine.

    I pulled up in front of him and honked too, but of course, he didn't budge. Instead, he started tapping his fingers on the steering wheel, clearly showing that he had no intention of moving.

    Then I looked in my rearview mirror and saw my wife waiting behind me. That's when I got an idea.

    I shut down my engine, exited the car, locked it and yelled to the guy something like "Good luck" or "F you", I don't remember. I hopped in my wife's car and told her to back up, she was confused

    We drove one block down, then looped around from the other end, technically also going the wrong way, to see what he was doing. Sure enough, he was

  • 16
    struggling to maneuver his car around mine. The only way he could get out was by reversing and making a U-turn. As he was doing this, he spotted us parked nearby, watching and laughing.

    His jaw dropped. I threw in a snarky remark, got back into my car, and drove off, this time in the correct direction.

    A few weeks later, I was driving in the area, and I saw him with the flashers on and the hood up. I drove a pretty common car and slowed down as I got near to him,

    he approached me and when I was very close, he finally recognized me, I gave him the finger and sped away.

    Last week, I saw he still has that same piece of junk parked outside his house. I can only hope it's stranded him many more times over the years.

    My first year of college I met Burt. He was a senior, in more ways than one. He was this tall lanky loveable 80 year old WWII vet who'd just randomly decided to attend college very late in life.

    Apparently he wanted to go when he was young, but never had the time or money. Then one day in his late 70s he realized he had both, and no real family to leave the money to, and figured "why not?"

    The dude was hilarious and a campus favorite with students and faculty alike. He was more energetic at 80 than I was in my 30s.

    He drove this giant old land barge of a Cadillac that had to be 18+ ft long. Nothing too unusual there, except it had no reverse.

    Why he never had it fixed I don't know but he'd driven it like that for so long he could turn that thing around in places you'd think were impossible. He always pulled

    through parking spaces, or parked on an incline so the car would roll back, but no amount of planning could account for every situation.

    If it was on campus people would rush to help him push it backward but I saw him at lunch one day, all skin and bones out in the cold straining his guts out trying

    I didn't get to see it but one day he ran into a situation on campus with someone in their fancy ego mobile going the wrong way down a one way. After much honking and gesticulating from Captain Ego mobile, a crowd

    A: Burt couldn't back up because his car had no reverse. and B: If they were mean to Burt or they were about to get beaten senseless by a mob of adoring Burt fans, including about half of the girls basket ball team.

    They got back in their Ego mobile and backed up. Burt gave everyone a friendly wave and went on his merry way. I'm in my 50s now and I still hope to be like Burt when I grow up.
