Once again, another petty revenge unites the community. Are you ready for tea? One participant, let’s call him Arden, was looking for a parking space near his university, but the day was infamous.
The parking fiasco
While searching, they came across a Corvette, packed full of four the best seats are in front of the plot. Finally, after ten minutes of waiting for a seat to become available, they found one behind them.
They were furious at how frivolous a person can be, so they left a note on the windshield saying, “Sorry, I hit your car. You probably won’t even notice the damage.” When the class ended, they found a typical college-age Corvette owner inspecting their car hysterically while they yelled into their phone. Here’s how the internet reacted.
Notes – common practice
This is more understandable when a luxury car takes up multiple parking spaces. We get the gist; you’re too rich for the rules. The thread member says that their aunt also takes two parking spaces, ignoring the queues. Someone left a note on her car: “This is not a Ferrari.” The note embarrassed her, and they did their best not to choke as she told the story.
This is wonderful
Someone shared that prior to reading this story, they thought Arden hit the car and left a note with fake insurance details. They thought it would be a nasty move, but they understood. After reading the whole story, they think it’s a beautiful move.
Call campus administration
Did you know that universities make a lot of money from tickets? Several forum members agree that most universities have strict parking regulations. One person advises that the next time Arden has a similar encounter, they should call the people in charge of parking.
Psychological warfare is best
Petty revenge is even sweeter when you can watch it play out. For example, a person writes that he left a similar note on three cars parked on a bike path, completely blocking it.
Unfortunately, they returned to their cars at the same time. They had a great time watching them run in circles around their cars for fifteen minutes. Nothing compares to the way they look at every dent and ask themselves, “Has this been here before?”
You are better than most
Here’s an amazing confession. Someone replies that their colleague couldn’t find a parking spot because the driver parked the Porsche the same way. So they got angry and threw the keys out of that car.
This could end in a family quarrel
Your attempt at petty revenge can lead to serious trouble. The respondent tells how their best friend did it in the Walmart parking lot and the family saw her. The family followed her and got into a fight. Their daughter, who was about twelve years old, was hit and their best friend had to flee to avoid any charges. Also, the family kicked in her door, so they both suffered casualties.
Next time…
EU! Another commenter claims that they always put a huge puddle on the windshield when faced with such an event. It dries up by the time they return and the wipers or the liquid can’t get rid of it. So they have to clean it by hand and endure looking at it while they drive home.
This is comedy stuff.
Thanks to the Internet, you can relive the moment of victory forever. According to the answer, this is done by a comedian podcaster. When listeners leave messages on people’s machines, they add their number to the note.
Some listeners leave sweet notes, while others leave subtle ones, such as, “Sorry, I crashed into your car. Maybe I wouldn’t have crashed if you hadn’t parked like a jerk.
It’s funny when people call and say they don’t see any dent, while others have a list of damage. The comedian comes up with weird places for them to check out, like the top of a rooftop. He also tells some that he broke into their car and accidentally tore his skin while sleeping. It’s fun to listen to the drivers trying to figure out the situation.
Notes bring change
Finally, the Internet user adds that their bank has an ATM that they use frequently. A restaurant opened in the mini mall and people parked on the ATM lane. Each time, they left a note saying, “I’m sorry about what I did to your car, but you shouldn’t have parked in the ATM lane.”
Eventually, a security guard showed up at the restaurant and restricted parking at the ATMs. What do you think of this banal petty revenge?
