In many neighborhoods, street parking is open to the public. Unless there are signs reading “no parking” or “residents only” or something along those lines, anyone can legally park in front of your house in the available street parking spots.
In today’s story, one man doesn’t want anyone parking in front of his house except for himself or his wife. He even slashed his neighbor’s tires when his neighbor parked there, but his neighbor’s not going to let him get away with it!
Find out how his neighbor gets revenge…
There was a bloke who lived over the road from me.
He had a little “no parking” sign in his front window.
Keeping in mind this was a UK public road and plenty of places to park.
OP parked in front of his house.
I parked in front of his house, because you know, it’s a public road.
He comes out and goes bananas: that’s his space and “I better move it or else”.
I refused…. next morning, the front tyre has been stabbed.
It’s time for revenge!
Fair enough, can’t prove it’s him, but It was him….. so…. Revenge time:
I bought an old Ford fiesta for £300 (this was back in 1990) – it was a complete shed and genuinely had had 14 owners before me – but it was MOT’ed (see below) and I taxed/insured it for virtually no money.
I waited for his wife to move their car from “their space” and parked that bad boy right outside his house, on the public road.
He left the car parked there for a year.
Again, bloke comes out, goes crazy… and I just smile and say “enjoy”.
Left that wreak outside his place a full year.
Tyres got stabbed, windows broken, even got spray painted, kids playing in it (which enraged the bloke even more) and I just left it there…. called the scrap yard with a day left on the MOT and laughed every day.
No parking that!
That’s a funny revenge story! The neighbor seems to be oddly possessive about the parking spot in front of his house, so he deserved it.
Let’s see how Reddit reacted to this story…
Here’s the perspective from another person who lives in the UK…
This was great revenge!
In Australia, they could’ve had the car towed.
Some people “save” parking spaces with trash bins.
This reader can relate to the parking problem.
He really should’ve recorded the car!
The best part was how long the revenge lasted!
