There's something about driving vehicles that gets that “monkey rage” part of our brain all riled up, just simmering there, ready to do unspeakably feral things as if we're suddenly no more socially developed than a caveman during the caveman days… If you ask an expert (I'm not one), they'll probably tell you that it has something to do with the degree of separation we experience when we're cruising around in the relative safety of our own two-ton metal box that is continually propelled by a se…

The story that follows is a poetic, almost mythological, series of events that highlights the importance of not being impulsive and controlling one's temper—and of the folly to which pursuing a path of vengeance can lead… We've all probably been here at some point, wearily wandering out of the supermarket towards our vehicle, groceries in hand, laboriously making our way toward our vehicle, keys ready in our one free hand. Approaching the car, you press the button on the doohickey to unlock the…

Nothing sends neighbors over the edge like a good ol' fashioned parking dispute. These petty feuds can rage on over shared and even private spaces, with proverbial jousting taking place through any means necessary. When it comes to parking in densely populated areas, let's face it—tensions can run high… with tenants being driven to great lengths to secure shared parking spots , arguing endlessly about who deserves what spot more. But when it comes to private, reserved, or even deeded parking sp…

Residing next to a challenging neighbor can be an absolute torment. These individuals tend to derive pleasure from causing distress to themselves and those in their surroundings, sowing chaos and watching it grow for sheer spite. The mere presence of even one of these individuals has the potential to ruin an otherwise pleasant neighborhood. Through 20 years of a peaceful existence, these neighbors, a couple and an elderly couple, shared a driveway that ran right between their two houses, provid…

Parking is always a drama in hotly-contested high-density residential areas where there isn't nearly as much space as people are wanting to park their vehicles, leading to petty squabbles and growing resentment—all over a parking space that they might not even have an actual claim to. Usually, things come to a boil when park and riders, looking to take advantage of parking spaces close to the city, wise up to the free parking and begin parking to walk or bus the remaining distance, taking up re…

This Karen thought that she could use the shoulder to skip a queue of traffic on the motorway, but when a semi-driver decided that he was going to have none of that and intervened, he caused her to crash into a conveniently placed police cruiser. The story was witnessed and shared to r/MaliciousCompliance by a truck driver, Redditor u/fmintar1. They shared this story to the popular subreddit to share how they got one up on this queue-dodging cretin. The types of people that do things like this…

Having immature neighbors who engage in petty games of warfare or who otherwise just don't care about how their actions are affecting other people is the worst… and you know things are bad when a newborn baby isn't the most immature participant in the dispute. This neighbor refused to heed reason and repeatedly blocked their new parent neighbors in their own driveway, meaning the parents had to miss multiple appointments for their newborn, as they could not leave their home. After pleading with…

There's snow-where to run and snow-where to hide from the ice-cold vengeance that's coming your way after you steal the parking spot that someone has spent hours digging out in a freezing tundra of a historic blizzard. Sure, there may not be any legalities surrounding the claimant's claim to a dug-out spot, but when you've lived in areas that get this much snowfall, you know—and respect—the code. If you choose to dishonor the code, there's no telling what might happen to your vehicle. The sheer…

Local parking enforcement agencies might be the root of all evil. Whether it's the local transport agency, council, or city government, as soon as that organization is responsible for parking, you can guarantee they will use bogus tickets, blatant hypocrisy, and outright bullying to ensure they can bleed as much money as possible from the population. But I should clarify that I'm biased here. If you've been reading these posts for a while, you might already be aware that I have a particular bon…

Look at me… I am the homeowner now. When someone is caught in a lie, it's always surprising to see how far they will take it. You might expect the liar to give it up, admit defeat—and admit to their deceit. And yet, most liars have been lying for so long that they don't know how to turn it off. They'll continue building up the fabrication—even after their lie has been substantially disproven. Reddit user u/Top-Studio8028 posted this thread to Reddit's r/entitledparents, sharing a story that he…

Once in a while, you come across someone who you decided to mess with and who you absolutely should not have messed with. Notable entries to this list who come to mind would be John Wick (seriously, leave the guy's dog alone), Master Chief (Grunts don't call him “The Demon” for nothing), Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino (who inspired the intro quote), and Granny (park in her space at your own peril). These individuals all have the common trait of displaying a laid-back outward demeanor that doesn'…

Sometimes a moment so perfect presents itself to us that it's impossible to resist temptation — even if it's something we know we shouldn't be doing. Bonus points here if doing said inadvisable act results in just desserts being served on deserving, entitled persons. That's the chance that presented itself to Redditor u/Jack932008 when they happened across a tiny empty parking space that we being encroached upon by the two adjacent entitled parkers, who were trying to keep their cars well away…

“I am going to make this van… — disappear!” If you could describe this story with a single movie title, it would be: “Gone in 60 seconds"; because that's just about how long it took to orchestrate this genius act of towing revenge

Maybe, just maybe, if you're breaking a rule (or law) and you get into a dispute with someone over you breaking said rule/law… Maybe, it would be best not to dare that person to report you to whatever authority holds jurisdiction over said thing? Just saying… because we keep seeing stories like this and I just don't know what outcome these people are expecting in these circumstances.

What is it with neighbors and parking drama?
