parking

Some neighbors are far worse than others. Some neighbors actually go out of their way to create a terribly stressful, tense, downright unpleasant environment for everyone else around them. And then it's as if any complaints are just more fuel for their fire. The neighbors in this tale of malicious compliance sound like they're in a league of their own. There was just never going to be a winning scenario with them. 

You see it over and over again, someone parks like a jackass, then finds that someone can be a jackass right back to them. This guy who wasted an illegally parked Karen's time is another good example. People will never learn when it comes to this stuff, which is why people keep having to step in.

I mean, the reality is that we're all desperate to know where on this strange planet earth that drivers are being punished for improper parking through the form of a stinky scent that was released as soon as the driver started up the car. When it's all said and done though, the driver certainly learned their lesson the hard way. 

It's all about aligning those incentives and consequences. This bus driver was told not to pick people up outside of the designated zones, but dudes just kept parking in those zones, so naturally something had to give. When put in a no-win situation, it's time to change the game. Parking can be a big source of stress and justice, like this one where a guy teaches a lesson to a handicap spot hog.

What's with all these inconsiderate and entitled folks parking in spots that don't belong to them? It seems to be a terrible form of entitlement that'll never end. This woman asked the moral judges of Reddit's AITA community whether or not she was in the wrong for getting their car towed. It seems like that was the only viable option available at her disposal. If people refuse to be reasonable when it comes to parking drama, the tow truck really is the best course of action. 

Check out some more parking drama with another neighbor who refused to park elsewhere, got their car towed, and then expected compensation for the towing. Yes, that's real life. 

Nothing quite like a good old neighbor quarrel over a parking spot. In this case, the invasive neighbor at hand refused to be reasonable and park where they should've in the first place. So, naturally, the person being blocked in had them towed away. Honestly, it seems like that was the only move available at their disposal after trying to reason with them. The moral judges of Reddit's AITA community seem to be in agreement as well that the towing was completely appropriate. 

Sometimes we find ourselves in awkward situations, especially when it's over a finite resource like parking. There are plenty of times handicapped parking spot hogs need to be taught a lesson, but this situation has a more complex backstory than some rando just illegally occupying a handicapped parking space at the store. The most important thing to do in these situations is to take a step back and think "why am I in this situation?" In this case it seems like the apartment manager may be the one to blame for all this madness.

On the list of simple things to do to avoid being a jerk, not parking in a handicap space is really near the top. It's incredibly easy to not park in one when you don't need one, but this Karen just couldn't resist. People notice, like this parking lot Grinch who saved the day when drivers kept illegally parking in handicap spots.

Oh boy, we've got a fresh collection of people taking ridiculous petty revenges on one another. Some folks just refuse to let other people's unconscious behavior roll off their back, and instead they proceed to hatch masterful, crazy petty revenges. These people certainly held nothing back. 

Check out another juicy petty revenge tale with this sister who always stole her sibling's food, so the sibling took revenge at the graduation.

While this must've taken quite a bit of effort, and been very physically draining, it certainly results in quite the beautiful petty revenge. This guy's neighbor sounds like a real inconsiderate piece of work. To have the audacity to watch someone shovel snow out of their parking spot, and then take that very parking spot, is inconceivable!

When this Landlord went back on their word and tried to con their old tenants out of their security deposit, they took the matter to court. You don't expect a judge to be so sensible. For another landlord-based revenge story, here's a landlord who tried to rip off their tenant, but ended up paying over $6.5 K.

If there's ever a real and visceral display of power in every day life, it's the politics and leverage of parking spaces. This proud citizen did absolutely everything except let this Karen use her own rudeness to get her way. It seems like she would be on the losing end of the shopping cart theory of morality. Here are some more unfortunate times people went full Karen.

It's not a good idea to block an emergency vehicle, and that goes for just about anyone. This new guy decided he'd take his sweet time getting his cruiser out of the way, so the powers that be decided he should learn a lesson in not blocking ambulances. For another parking dispute, here's a Karen who parked in construction site reserved parking, wouldn't move and got blocked in.

For whatever reason some people just air that dirty laundry out for everyone else to see. We can't understand it. In this case, Karen gets into a heated verbal exchange with her husband, and things end up escalating to such an extent that the relationship itself dissolves. 

Man, bad parking has a way of bringing one's blood to a boil. It's the perfect combination of entitlement and carelessness. People just pull in and take up two, three, maybe more spots, cause they couldn't be bothered to consider the likelihood that other human beings would indeed like to use those parking spots. One parking spot per car, it's not that hard.
