When you actively inconvenience someone, you should expect the same treatment in return. It's hard to imagine, but there is always time to be considerate. This driver, who parked at the local Barnes & Noble, decided that he didn't have time to give the person next to him enough room to re-enter his own car to back out. Well, let's just say he ended up getting a taste of his own medicine.

First of all, who is in such a rush to get to their Barnes & Noble that they can't correct their egregious parking job? This guy's driving skills are either embarrassing or reflective of his self-involved state of mind. Thankfully, the author decided he had enough time to turn the tables. He climbed to the driver's seat from the passenger's side, backed up, and parked on the other side of the entitled dude's vehicle, giving him the same amount of wiggle room.

When the entitled driver left the bookstore, he didn't exactly connect the dots at first as to who was behind this, but when he finally climbed into his driver's seat from the passenger's side, albeit less gracefully than the author did, he saw the author look him in the eye. That's when he finally put two and two together. Serves him right!

  • I went to the mall yesterday to go to my local Barnes and Noble. This mall's Barnes and Noble parking area is like always full, but I found a cute little spot and I parked my happy al car in it.

  • Well once I've finished spending a ridiculous amount of money on books I'll never read I come back to my car only to find that a car had parked next to mine (driver's side) so close a child would not be able to squeeze in there.

  • I do the old crawl in through passenger side maneuver, very annoyed, and I'm annoying, let like "well that was me just leave" and then I realize. Why should this a h le get the pleasure of entering their car all happily when I did not?

  • So I take a gamble, that the car on their driver side will leave before them. I'm waiting outside, I sh you not, not even 2 minutes later someone's happy a walks out of the Barnes and Noble presumably with books they will never read. He gets into the car next to i shole's car and leaves. Happy not reading to you my friend, I love you.

  • I get back in my car and pull into the spot so close a child would not be able to fit through it. It took some effort to park that . And I wait again, outside of course. About 15 minutes of Reddit scrolling later someone's happy smug a walks out of the Barnes and Noble and his smugness is instantly crushed when they realize oh no my car is so close to this car that a CHILD COULD NOT FIT THROUGH. I smile. I could do this all day.

  • I watch him STRUGGLE to get from the passenger side seat to the driver's seat because oh yeah I forgot to mention. This guy is not skinny and he was tall, like at least 5'11. I am 5'2 and did the passenger to driver seat gymnastics in under half a minute. This guy struggled for like 3 minutes trying to get his legs to the other side.

  • Once I see him almost done with his gymnastics ("doesn't feel nice when it happens to you" is all I'm thinking) I walk over to my car and get in and reverse out. I make sure to glance at him and smile then give him the fer.

  • He looks bewildered, already enraged about this 3 minutes of struggle. Why would If him off? A look of realization crosses his face. I like to think his dumb just realized that my car was on the other side before.

  • Think before parking like an a h le. Edit: Since a couple people asked, no he was not in the line. He was over the line. This mall has the type of parking where every spot is like double lined not sure how else to explain, but he was not in EITHER set of lines lolll

  • 1000thatbeyotch 22h ago . There is a woman who parks in two spaces where I work and doesn't even work or shop at the shopping center. I have seen her walk across the parking lot and get in another car and leave multiple times. She does this routine daily. So, one day, I parked

  • We laughed hysterically when we had to watch her try and open her car door and she couldn't. The way her door was, It would catch under the wheel well of my dad's truck and she couldn't wedge

  • herself in. Now, had she parked in one space, she could have gotten her door open. She finally gave up and climbed in through the passenger side.

  • She parked in one space for a few days after that, but has started using two spaces again.
