A couple of weeks back a friend of mine was parking while someone slipped in and took her spot. She confronted the lady and to tell her it was her spot. The old lady stated she did not understand english. Pissed off , my friend left and found another spot 15minutes later. Yesterday my friend noticed the same lady had her signal for a spot so she swooped in and took it. The old lady comes out of her car yelling (mind you in perfect english) “WHat are you doing? I had that parking spot… yadda yadda yadda”. So my friend was like “Oh now you speak English, when its your spot…” The lady goes back into her calls cusses a bit and leaves. This morning my friend’s car was keyed. Obviously it was her; but it wont be enough for the police. ANy suggestions on how to handle the situation?
pouring brake fluid on the paint job is a failry costly to repair also.
A better response would be for your friend to look inward and ask why she felt it necessary to be a parking spot warrior with a nasty old lady? Is it ever really worth it? I always find a spot, eventually, so whats the fuss? Now, some dirtbag body shop is going to take your “friend” for another ride to fix the key job. Doesnt life present enough challenges without us needlessly creating our own?
My glock is like an American Express card – I don’t leave home without it but even I don’t engage people in parking arguments because they often lead to no good. This type of behavior is just an extention of road rage. Correct, the police can’t do anything but take a report for insurance purposes although you may have a case in civil court if you can identify the person that you believed vandalized your car but even that is hard without witnesses or video/photographic evidence. If I pull into a spot without realizing that someone else was trying to park in that spot, I pull out. If someone tries to take a spot from me, I let them know that I was trying to park and if they are argumentative, I just find another and don’t take this behavior personal.
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
Have your friend wait some time, perhaps a couple of weeks. Then employ some method of devious recompense, perhaps a water baloon filled with motor oil (should take a good hour to two to clean), perhaps the old dog poop explosion over the front hood, perhaps a bent antenna or a large dent in the side door. Nothing too big, mind you, you don’t want to end up on the front page.
I had an evil landlady once. I’ve been enjoying periodic revenge over the past few years along similar lines, dog poop can be your friend.lol.
bravado aside, in all seriousness I would probably just drop this. Too little reward (what’s the upside, she stays out of your way the one additional time you are both trying to park in the same space at the same time?) and too much cost. If she goes about her day acting like this I think you can trust that her life is already pretty awful.
It’s fun to talk about pranks though.
smash out window and fill car w/ wet concrete?
also, as i understand it, the poop bag on fire requires that the door bell be rung and the person has to be home.
loosen the lug nuts..
watch..enjoy
Ping pong ball in the gas tank.
It’ll float around until the tank gets low. The ball will get sucked into the intake and block the gas. The engine will stop. It would take a mechanic months of tearing about every inch of the car to figure out the problem.
Or so I’ve heard…
😉
Put sugar in the gas tank.. mucho mucho problems..
Limburger cheese on the exhaust…
Get the pix??
bayridgegirl. i agree, its not worth fighting over a parking spot, but when they cause physical damage to your car it changes everything. now deductibles have to be paid, time lost, etc.
