A man has been praised for his "petty revenge" after his neighbour repeatedly parked in his driveway. The homeowner, fed up with being ignored, finally took action by blocking the neighbour's car in and leaving for the weekend.
The Revenge
The man explained on Reddit that his neighbour had been using his driveway for months despite being asked to stop. Each time he confronted him, the neighbour would brush it off with the excuse: "It's just for a sec."
One Friday, he arrived home to find the neighbour's car parked on his driveway again. Instead of waiting or asking, he pulled his own car in behind the neighbour's vehicle, blocking it in. He then locked up his house, grabbed his bags and headed off for the weekend.
A few hours later, his phone started ringing with missed calls, followed by a text message reading: "Dude, WTF??" He ignored every message and enjoyed his weekend away. Reflecting on it, he joked: "Hope he had a relaxing weekend to think things through."
Reactions from Readers
The story quickly amused social media users, with many sharing their own revenge stories. One person said: "A lady blocked my driveway the other day and left her flashers on to indicate 'I'll just be a minute'. I left from another area of my property to go to the store, 30 minutes later she was still parked there with the windows down. I dragged out the hose and sprinkler to water the flowers aimed directly at the open window."
Another user added: "My old little old lady landlord used to hire a nine year old to throw a rock through the back window of drivers who parked in her spaces in Queens."
A third user said: "Love it. Same happened to me many years ago. I parked my beat up old pickup truck behind his car. I parked an inch from his bumper. Then took off on a two week holiday. This was before smartphones. I knew my truck couldn't be moved without my permission. I knew the cops would not get involved. The guy was so p***ed. He couldn't understand. When you mess with the bull sometimes you get the horns."
