PSA: When you park in someone else's driveway, don't block it all

I wouldn't destroy someone else's property even though he is acting like a total douche. the proper thing here would be a tablespoon of Vaseline under his door-handle, sit back and watch the hilarity ensue when the owner returns to the vehicle.

Or toward the base of the passenger side windshield wiper.

:sneaky:

Might be a tad dangerous though.
 
you should carefully place nail in front of the tire or two. You'd have to be some uncivilized POS to park like that. If I had nowhere to go I'd still be slightly irked. If I had some appointment to go to I'm not sure what I'd do, what can you do in that spot if you had to go (legally).

I'd push it out with my truck. I'm sure I care less about the finish on mine than others do on theirs.
 
I'd remove the right rear tail light. Just 2-4 screws. Unplug it and stow it under his tool box. Being the right rear, he probably wouldn't notice it right away.
 
Last time someone screwed with me, I pinched their fuel lines shut underneath an attachment clamp. Takes all of 5 minutes to do...and a long time to diagnose.
 
I would have parallel parked in front my of driveway boxing the truck in, then sat in the driveway and had a beer. Wouldn't be in a rush to move my car to let them out either.
 
Valve stems are fragile things. So cheap, so easily damaged when confronted with a blade. No damage to the vehicle otherwise, but sorta incapacitates it when two tires go flat simultaneously.

The coolest part is that the vehicle is stuck where it's at for a far longer period of time with two tires flat. Really the hot setup with one that's blocking your driveway. :thumbsup: 🙄 Plus, who in a million years would ever suspect the guy who's driveway is blocked? :facepalm:
 
If you call a tow truck driver to tow it away, you're going to be the one who has to pay the tow truck company.

What's the reasoning behind hiding the license plate?

It clearly shows the city and state where I live (I'll give a hint, it matches the license plate). With a little snooping, you could probably figure out the neighborhood too. I'd rather stay anonymous.

Looks like missourah to me, whitney.
 
A floor jack under the rear diff will let you move it out in the street with a few guys pushing. Crossways blocking most of the road would get the police's attention. 🙂
 
I would park my car in front and wait there for a pissed off confrontation. I would basically just say "FUCK YOU WHY THE FUCK DID YOU PARK IN MY FUCKING DRIVE WAY. GET THE FUCK OUT. FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK"

This depends on my mood of course. Right now I would do that. Tomorrow. Maybe just call a tow truck. I also like the nails/screws propped up to puncture the tires.

Incredibly douchey with no excuse. They deserve a vengeful response. Imagine if his license plate said "GOCWBOYS" or "SALTLYFE". Instant decapitation.
 
Something tells me that it shouldn't have been too hard to figure out which house the guy was visiting. People don't just park in random driveways. Basically, wherever parking in your driveway made more sense than parking in the driveway or on the street in front of the other house. And where he wouldn't have had to walk far.

The house on the other side of the street looks like a good candidate. Cars and trucks parked on the narrow street. A truck in the driveway, the other garage door open, so maybe someone else had been using the other half of the drive when he got there, or someone had to get out of the garage.

Shocked somebody would do that. I feel bad enough parking on the street in front of a house I don't know... and to have somebody actually use my driveway? They would have been on cinder blocks with a tow truck en route
