Let the air out of their tires.
I had a neighbor who was terrible about staying in their lines. My dad taught me how to park real good though. So, anytime they made their depth perception my problem I’d take the extra five minutes just to make sure I was atomically close to their driver side door. One morning I was lucky enough to see them climb in through their passenger side and abuse their transmission to get out of our parking spot without hitting me. I was late to work that day but the satisfaction was worth the infraction.
Epic.
What’d you do? Gonna need updates on this one
Reddit repost. Not gonna get your answer on this one
Fuck OP. Not gonna keep that upvote on this one
One of the problems with revenge (deflating the tires, keying, etc.) is that there’s nothing stopping the neighbor from doing it right back the next day.
You just do it like 3 weeks later. They’ll have no idea.
Yeah, if you want them to stop you’ve got to kill them
Ah, the Ender Wiggin solution.
Wiggin was a pawn tho. He had no idea he was killing anything, certainly not a species. If anyone deserves the named solution it’s Graff. Rackham to a lesser extent.
This is borne out in speaker for the dead where ender devotes himself to finding a viable world for the new hive queen.
He also didn’t know he was killing the kid at the beginning on the story either, but he definitely meant to make sure that he wouldn’t be bullying anyone anymore.
I think it’s more of a book reference to his fight with bonzo, who was bullying ender. Ender was a few years younger and knew he had to win the fight “permanently,” so it’s inferred that he knew what he was doing (not intending to kill him but that’s obviously a possibility).
Iirc, the officials told ender that bonzo was sent home. In reality, he did actually kill bonzo and was lied to about it.
His goal was to demonstrate that he was a crazy animal. That was the thing he was hoping would keep the bullying away: demonstrating a lack of constraint.
It wasn’t so much about disabling the other boy as about establishing an image as an unpredictable enemy.
His goal was to point out that it wasn’t worth it to mess with him, he’s going to fight back hard and take you out. It was about deterring him from wanting to ever pick on him. Right, his goal wasn’t to permanently disfigure him, but to establish a permanent idea that it isn’t worth it to pick on him
Fair but ender himself says he never meant to kill bonzo or the kid in his earth school.
That’s fair, though he was trying to permanently end the bullying, which is what i think OP was referencing at least. Since, you know, that would end bullying permanently
It’s the only way.
This does work 100% btw. Can have minor side effects tho.
Never park there again
Leave the country
“An eye for an eye” leaves the whole world with a body shop repair bill.
So, legal question. In this situation, obviously you document it like this, but then would you be in the clear to push it out of the way somehow in a typical jurisdiction? Usually the law allows you certain extra rights when your stuff or person is trapped by someone else’s usual legal rights. For example, if your property is surrounded by that of another person they can’t stop you from passing through.
My guess based on nothing is that these guys know each other, might be roommates
Omg they were roommates?
Ok hear me out, if this is an apartment parking garage, then spots assigned to the same address would be more likely to be next to each other, plus there’s so much risk of someone fucking up your car if you pull this shit, my guess is they know each other and one person is fucking with the other.
That’s my theory.
You could be right, the truck driver could also be an asshole lol.
#sapphoandherparkingjob
Yep, all of the evidence they don’t know about points to it
Good enough for me!
Case closed boys, let’s wrap it up!
Bake’em away toys!
I was assuming it’s an actual neighbor, who has some kind of beef with OP.
I reckon in an emergency you could make a case, otherwise call property mgt and get it towed.

I mean… The numbers don’t lie.
If it’s a persistent problem, and a tow truck isn’t an option…
Get a set of cheap car dollies, then you can move it out of the way. THEN you can place it perpendicular to the parking spots with the bumper at that support beam and he’ll be stuck until the blue car leaves.
Play stupid games win stupid prizes!
I don’t get it. What beam?
pillar
OOOHHHHH, okay. Thanks!
This is deliciously evil, I love it
I think the better option is to start by moving it to the correct spot twice then the third time pull the evil. They’re truly asking for it if they don’t stop after the first or second time their truck isn’t where they parked it
I’d put the truck between the pillar and the wall if short enough, so they couldn’t get out without tow truck.
Or car dollies
“Time to do some sketchy shit, do da, do da, hope I get away with it, all the do da day”
sounds like a towin ’
Where I live, they make you pay for the tow up front which sucks.
It does make sense to have the person who wants the tow to pay for it rather than the whole extortion racket it becomes when the owner of the car pays for it. Even when illegally parked, it should be a ticket from law enforcement rather than essentially grand theft auto unless you pay whatever amount they ask for or do a grand theft auto back to them.
Around here if it’s a parking lot, management has to call it in, simple as that. Management fines or gets their money from the renter. If it’s your vehicle, well you would have your insurance and parking spot title if you needed a service tow.
Read that in the voice of Jasper from the Simpsons.

my mechanic friend is telling me that if you want to fuck that truck to death right where it sits, like, absolutely total it and destroy its internals completely, all you have to do is shove a potato in its tailpipe. like, really deep in so you can’t see it from the outside. it will burst all its valves and destroy the engine :D
of course you have to have a big enough potato that cramming it into the pipe will form a seal by shearing the sides flush to the interior of said pipe, and to create enough friction that the pressures produced by the engine will be unable to push it clear (or shoot it out like a pneumatic cannon).
Your friend is a poor mechanic and I’d be wary of any advice they give you.
I have a very hard time believing that an internal combustion engine would sustain significant damage prior to stalling. An engine could run, albeit very poorly, with extreme backpressure (say, an exhaust blockage but perhaps some leaks elsewhere in the exhaust system). If the exhaust was perfectly sealed, there would be so much backpressure that the mixture would be starved of air and there would simply not be any explosion in the cylinders. I have limited knowledge of diesel engines but would expect a similar result.
Here’s a video where an exhaust pipe is plugged. You can see how quickly the car stalls (at 10:00): https://piped.video/watch?v=jnoW0skAChA
Use an hydraulic jack (every car should have one in the trunk) to lift the rear axle of the truck as high as you can, then push it, now you can proceed to get out of the parking spot
one with wheels on it, right? Maybe important to note
No I think the idea is to lift it up real high and then just knock it over. It’ll move the car damage it too sure but who gives a shit
Yeah, pretty much this.
While you’re at it, might as well swivel his truck’s rear end behind the column so he can’t get out.
Move it in front of the accessible parking space and contact parking enforcement. Then watch him get a $500 ticket
What kind of cars do you buy that every one comes with a hydraulic jack?
I have yet to own a car that didn’t come with a tire jack. Pretty sure they are built with every car.
They’re not not hydrolic though, usually they use a sort of screw mechanism
All right, a car jack, every car should have a device to lift it.
I’m old school, I make my wife lift my car when she has to change the tire.
I store a 5 meter long lever bar and an assistant with steady hands in my trunk.
My girlfriend just stores me wearing handcuffs in the trunk alone. Regular Thursday.
I’m not saying they come with the car, I’m saying that every car should have one. If you have a car and you don’t own an hydraulic jack (or a device to lift your car to change a tire) then go and buy one.
Which developing countries specifically does this recommendation apply to?
TBF, it’s still going to cost less than the car did. I don’t know, maybe it’s cheaper to write the day off and get a someone else to do it for a fee in your specific situation, though.
TBF = To Be Frank or To Be Fair??? BIG GRUMPY!
Fair is what I meant. Good to know there’s ambiguity for the future.
Good to know there’s ambiguity for the future.
Could you be more specific?
Whomst art thou, frank?!?!?!?!?!!
To be fair, you seem to be grumpy.
To be GRUMPY, you seem fair.
Why the hell should we care to impersonate Frank?
Because otherwise it might seem weird to offer people an egg for trying times
👏 this guy’s asking the real questions here.
2 floor jacks with wheels and you can put that truck wherever you want. Even better spend about $150 at Harbor Freight for 2 sets of wheel dollies and you can roll it right out to the street. That’s extra fun if it’s an above ground garage with a curved ramp.
I all of you immediately suggesting keying and shit makes me.
Understand I this well very
I think you accidentally a word…or six
Makes you what?
Looks like someone’s tires need to get slashed
Tire inflation valve cores are surprisingly easy to remove.
Yeah but then you’re even more stuck because now the truck is stuck as well…
deleted by creator
You haven’t done any property damage….? Until they start driving 5 minutes later and the tire goes flat mid drive which causes it to explode. The vehicle then loses control and hits a completely innocent random bystander.
Congrats, you just committed manslaughter for petty revenge.
Deflated tires don’t explode, that’s overfilled
If you have a flat and try driving on it: that’s on you for destroying your rims and tire
An under inflated/flat tire can absolutely spontaneously come apart, and at the RPMs it’s spinning it for all intents and proposes “explodes”. As large pieces of rubber will fly out at speeds that can decapitate someone.
But hey, let’s argue about the semantics instead of telling people to not kill people for petty revenge. If you can’t think for 2 seconds and come up with a way how an underinflated/flat tire could kills someone, you’re probably one of those idiots that drove with under inflated tires.

That truck doesn’t have tire pressure any higher than a car does. It’s the large trucks like semi trucks and dump trucks that have the high-pressure tires.
Definitely not true. I have a relative with a truck similar to the pictured one, and the rear tires are around 85 psi. If the individual thinks they need tow-worthy tires, they can definitely get them.
deleted by creator
I’ve deflated thousands of those tires by pulling the valve cores. It’s fine.
Just call a tow truck. No need to resort to revenge. Them having to retrieve the truck and pay the fees should be enough of a deterrent without giving them reasons to call the police.
Towing is more expensive and takes longer.
Not if you slash two or more tires 😈 Tires are around $100-200 a piece to have mounted and balanced, and that’s usually either a used tire or a bottom of the barrel one. If you slash one they can replace it with a spare (assuming they have one). If you slash half or more of them they have to get the vehicle towed and have the tires replaced, that takes a lot of time and money. That could easily be like $600, getting your vehicle released from the tow yard if you pick it up within 24 hours is usually only like $150.
Even better. I didn’t think towing was more than a couple hundred dollars.
I think they meant the person who calls for the tow has to pay upfront.
If it’s illegally parked and you’re not the property owner you definitely don’t have to pay to get it towed
Looks like a parking garage of some sort. Property owners most likely already have a contract with a tow company for parking violations. Should be able to call the property manager to get it towed or call the towing company whose number is probably one of many signs there.
yes
Huh? Just have the people responsible for the parking garage call the tow truck.
Not everyone can afford a couple hundred dollars to get at an annoying neighbour
It shouldn’t cause the victim anything for this. Just get the parking garage people to call the towing company.
I had a similar issue with a truck and just called my apartment, they had them towed at the car owner’s expense. That’s usually the best option is contact whoever owns the garage or property management and they’ll get the asshole towed on the asshole’s dime usually.
They’d have to prove you did it in the first place. Sure, you may have the motive, but “innocent until proven guilty”. But yeah, the other owner could be a vindictive asshole and it would just start a war.
Makes me wish that OP had an absolutely beat to shit 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. Then you can just play bumper cars with idiots like that.
