Sometimes, you're better off leaving well enough alone, and when someone offers you an olive branch over a petty disagreement that you're completely in the wrong on anyway, you're definitely better off just taking it and letting sleeping dogs lie. Yet, the thing with entitlement is you're probably not likely or able to do so, taking everything to its absolute limit in your attempt to get the world to finally realize that your wishes are more important than the reality of the situation. And it's…

Simply declaring something to be true doesn't automatically make it so… and if you want to use your neighbor's property as your personal parking space, you can't just tell them that you've decided it's community property. Therefore, you have the right to park there. Some people just don't take no for an answer, and it's pretty clear here that this neighbor has some serious boundary issues, both conceptually and literally, that weren't going to improve without facing some consequences. If you gi…

It's often said that you should never stoop to someone else's level and, instead, take the high road and go on to live a better life, beating them through their inability to affect you. Well, truth be told, that's not really all that much fun, and it's not very practical at times since it doesn't really solve the immediate problem at hand. And when that immediate problem at hand is your daily at-home parking situation—well, it's kind of hard to just walk away and ignore it since, you know, you…

Family is difficult, perhaps even one of the most difficult things—even when the relationships are fairly “traditional” and straightforward. Let's be honest, though: what is straightforward? Is there even really a straightforward when it comes to family? The reality is that there hardly ever is, and the ones that pretend

Sometimes, you have no choice but to treat people how they deserve to be treated. Reason and kindness can work with sensible strangers, but this insensitive dude was anything but sensible. If anything, he was just insensitive. Not only did he leave the door to his driver's seat open in such a way that blocked the Redditor's vehicle from leaving the parking garage, but also when the Redditor tried to signal to this guy to close his door, the guy refused to listen as he was on a so-called “import…

Being a college student already puts you at a difficult starting point when it comes to your financial state. There is simply so much one has to pay for in college, and physically being in school also means you can't really work to pay for everything college demands. One of the most infuriating things colleges usually take money for is parking. Apparently, the tuition is not enough to secure a place to park on campus, so colleges resort to asking even more money for parking passes or permits. T…

There's nothing more infuriating than being stuck in traffic or otherwise stuck in some other horde of slow-moving masses of people. It's claustrophobia inducing and defies your internal logic: you could and should be able to get where you're going faster than this so why can't everyone just get out of your way? Why is everyone else going to the same place at the same time you are? This, of course, is a selfish way to think and act, and most of us know this even when we find ourselves getting f…

Parking is one of those things that is always going to cause issues when limited spots are of any concern. People just don't know how to behave rationally when scarcity of resources is at hand, and the monkey part of their brain takes over. Still, when you have your own driveway, even if it's shared, you'd sort of expect that your side of it would remain accessible to you (and you alone) without issue—unfortunately, inconsiderate neighbors mean this is not always the case. In this case, these n…

Those who are prone to road rage are capable of creating real messy situations for themselves and the people around them. Although we all feel the anger bubbling inside us whenever we are stuck in traffic, or can't find a parking spot, some people tend to give in to that anger and let it consume them, and that can be pretty dangerous. Take the woman in this Reddit story for example, after letting her anger get the best of her, she was willing to push a stranger with her car just so she could pa…

Assigned and paid for parking spaces are one of those things that will drive even the most sane and level headed among us to the brink—and we're not claiming to be even the most sane and level headed. The fierce competition that emerges for the limited parking spaces—with high costs associated—is intense driving tenants to extraordinary lengths. This exacerbated by the fact that apartment complexes with inbuilt garages never have enough spaces for each unit in the building often meaning that th…

Never underestimate bored teenagers with nothing to do except for causing trouble. There is an argument to be made that this age is perhaps the most excruciating age of humans. While we can attempt to avoid interacting with the “youth” as much as possible, sometimes we have no other choice but to confront them Here, we have a driver who was pulling into the one empty space in a busy parking lot by a popular pizza chain. The only thing stopping the driver from completing his parking job was a gr…

Nothing frustrates people more than someone else's bad parking job. It's the kind of inconvenience that will make a shy, non-confrontational person snap and become a Karen. It also might be the kind of rare inconvenience that makes a Karen justified in their frustrations. Now, as someone who is admittedly a bad driver, I can understand how a poor parking job happens. That being said, I would never take up two parking spots and just leave it like that. My people-pleasing self would take as much…

This cranky neighbor suffers from such a serious case of main character syndrome that she has the audacity to crash and ruin a kid's birthday party. There are many layers to her uncalled-for behavior, starting with the fact that she refuses to engage with these residents because they are renters and now owners. Next, there's the fact that she refuses to let folks park in front of her house despite the fact that it's free street parking that she has absolutely no jurisdiction over. Still, people…

This lady was asking for trouble. She was picking up her kid from school and decided to park on a neighbor's driveway. Now according to the neighbor, who shared this thread on the r/pettyrevenge subreddit, it is quite common for parents to back into his driveway during pickup as it can get especially crowded at that time. He is normally ok with this, as it seems to come with the territory of living across the street from a school. However, this time, the Original Poster was on his way home when…

Ahh yes… Parking disputes. A source of disputation between neighbors for as long as man has employed means of vehicular transport that needed to be stored somewhere in times of disuse. The need for storage space has long been a source of petty territorial badgering, especially when your neighbor has stored their carriage in the most convenient part of the communal space where you had been intending to store yours. The level-headed thing to do would be to park yours in the less convenient place…

The willingness of superiors to apply rules to themselves that they make for others speaks volumes to the character and quality of an organization. An undercurrent of issues surrounding fairness in leadership can give you a great indication of the toxicity of the workplace. This reaches levels of ridiculousness that can't be rationalized when it begins involving matters that aren't even specifically related to your performance or time that you spend at work and begins leaching into personal and…
