His Driveway Gets Used By a Rude Visitor Next Door, So He Crafts a Weekend-Long Revenge Scheme That Becomes a Neighborhood Spectacle.
When the Original Poster (OP) comes home to find an unknown car parked in his private driveway, he decides to turn the irritation into an ingenious standoff. While he enjoys a long weekend of relaxation, the owner of the intrusive car faces an escalating chain of dilemmas and defeats as the OP is relentless in punishing the owner for their illegal parking violation.
Unexpected Company
On a usual Friday evening, OP comes home from work to an unusually loud neighborhood due to a large party nearby. To OP’s dismay, an unknown individual has carelessly parked their car in OP’s driveway. The driveway is specially designed, a single-car-width bordered by retaining walls on both sides, making it nearly impossible to remove the intruder’s car without property damage.
A Strategic Move
Faced with this situation and the unavailability of street parking, OP decides on a clever countermove. He parks his car behind the intrusive vehicle, effectively blocking it in his driveway. Hours pass by in this peculiar standoff, with the unknown vehicle trapped between OP’s car and his garage.
A Rude Awakening
As the evening transitions into night, the owner of the intrusive vehicle, now referred to as the Entitled Parker, begins knocking on OP’s door. She demands OP move his car so she can depart from the party. But seeing the entitled attitude, OP refuses, stating that he had been drinking and was not in a position to drive.
The Law Enters
Frustrated, the Entitled Parker calls the police, hoping they will force OP to comply and move his car. OP, expecting the officers, makes sure to answer the door with a drink in hand, reinforcing his claim of inebriation. He calmly explains the situation to the officer.
A Complicated Stalemate
OP informs the officer that he had been unwinding with drinks and could not safely operate a vehicle. The police are now in a bind: they can’t tow the parked car due to the layout of the driveway, OP is not legally allowed to drive, and he is within his rights to park in his own driveway. The situation evolves into a complex stalemate, much to the despair of the Entitled Parker.
The Long Weekend Plan
In the end, OP decides to take full advantage of the situation. He tells the Entitled Parker that it’s a long weekend, and he plans to stay in, prolonging his drinking. Thus, the earliest the car could be moved would be on Monday, after he returns to work. The end of the party transforms into the start of a weekend-long saga.
The Subsequent Days
Over the next few days, the situation remained unchanged, with the vehicle still parked in OP’s driveway. The party-goer tries several times to persuade OP to move his car, but he remains resolute. The Entitled Parker’s frustration grows while the weekend passes agonizingly slowly.
The Unexpected Guest
Just when the Entitled Parker thinks her situation couldn’t get worse, an unexpected guest arrives. The guest, a friend of OP, parks his car behind OP’s, further compounding the problem. Now, there are two cars blocking the exit for the Entitled Parker.
The Second Attempt
Desperate, the Entitled Parker decides to call the tow company, hoping they can solve her predicament. However, due to the narrow design of the driveway, the tow company refused to help, fearing potential property damage. This further escalates the already tense situation, leading to an impasse.
Another Visit from the Police
In a last-ditch effort, the Entitled Parker decides to call the police again. The same officer arrives, visibly frustrated at the recurring issue. Upon re-evaluation, they reiterate that there’s nothing they can do, as OP is legally parked in his own driveway.
The Parking Ticket
As a twist of irony, the local municipality ends up issuing a parking ticket to the Entitled Parker. The ticket is for blocking private property, adding insult to injury for the party-goer. Thus, the already complicated predicament is further worsened for Entitled Parker.
Monday’s Surprise
Just as the start of a new week emerges, OP’s friend, who had parked behind him and stayed over Saturday night, decides to leave. However, to the dismay of the Entitled Parker, OP shifts his car into the vacated spot, maintaining the deadlock. The Entitled Parker’s patience wears thin as the long weekend draws to a close.
The Prolonged Standoff
Despite the talks, the standoff continues into Tuesday. The once defiant Entitled Parker has now become a figure of derision to OP. She watches helplessly as the long weekend concludes, her car still trapped in OP’s driveway.
Tuesday Morning
On Tuesday morning, OP finally prepares to leave for work. The end of the long weekend signals the end of the driveway saga. The Entitled Parker, who has been waiting anxiously, can finally see an end to her predicament.
Lessons Unlearned
As OP’s car is finally moved, the Entitled Parker rushes to her vehicle. Even though she is finally free to leave, the long weekend has cost her a lot in terms of time, energy, and reputation. She drives away, leaving behind a story that will be talked about for a long time in the neighborhood.
