A man took to the internet to describe how he exacted revenge on the neighbor who stole his parking spot. He had spent almost an hour shoveling snow to create the space.
A Cold Winter’s Day
The man described the morning as a cold winter day. There were 8 inches of snow, which had fallen the night before. The windchill made the temperature feel like it was in the negatives.
He Could Get His SUV Out
He said, “I drive an all-wheel drive SUV so I have no issues getting out.” The problem was his wife’s Prius, which slides with the smallest amount of moisture on the road.
His Car was Down
His vehicle was down at the time. So he had to take his wife’s car. He went to get the shovel.
45-Minutes of Work
He got to work, spending 45 minutes in the freezing cold, shoveling the car out. Then he and his wife went to the store.
Only Gone for One Hour
He said “We were gone for an hour. When we came back, our neighbor had taken the spot I had shoveled.”
No Assigned Parking
The man said their apartment complex doesn’t have assigned parking. However, in the winter, it’s understood that if you shovel a spot, it’s yours.
Feeling Angry
When he saw his neighbor’s car in the spot he had just shoveled, he was angry. It was his spot which he had dug out, and it felt like the neighbor had stolen it.
Revenge
He said, “I went inside and filled two gallon jugs of water.” Then he went back out and poured them on his neighbor’s windshield.
Rinse and Repeat
The forum user described the process he used as rinse and repeat. He estimated that he poured about ten gallons of water on the neighbor’s car.
It Froze
Because of the extremely low temperature, the water he’d already poured on was freezing by the time he poured the last gallon. It sat like that overnight.
The Morning After
The next morning, he watched as his neighbor hopelessly tried to scrape all of the layers of ice off his windshield. It was an almost impossible task.
Don’t Take My Parking Spot
He told readers, he hoped this would be a lesson to the neighbor. In the future, he might think twice before taking a shoveled-out spot, and dig his own instead.
Alternatives To Shoveling
Some commenters offered their alternatives to shoveling snow in the winter. One said, “I’ve recently moved into a house with a garage that we park both of our vehicles in. I’d highly recommend it.”
A Little at a Time
Others offered ways to make shoveling less strenuous. Such as, “It’s easier to clear an inch or two at a time a few times a day than a mountain of heavy snow one time. I also learned using a broom to sweep steps and the sidewalk before walking across it and packing it down into an icy mess works great.”
Others Shared Their Own Experiences
The man wasn’t alone in having his parking spot stolen. Another commenter described how a neighbor with 4 jeeps kept taking other parking spaces, despite having an assigned spot and a garage.
Not Everyone Supported His Actions
After receiving a verbal backlash from some internet users, the man posted an update. He said, “I’m not looking for judgment. The point was to share my story of petty revenge. I’d say I was being pretty damn petty.”
Accusations of Vandalism
Commenters accused him of vandalism. He found that funny, claiming no permanent damage was done.
Only Time Wasted
The man defended his actions saying, “No damage was done except for wasting like 5-10 minutes of his time. Ever hear of freezing rain? It does the same thing I did to his car. Never does any damage.”
Final Update
In his final update, he stated it was also many years ago since he carried out his petty revenge, and the cops hadn’t come to arrest him yet. So he assumes he’s good.
