“I started to formulate a plan as to how best to f**k the person over.”
You know how it is. It’s been a hard day at work, the drive home’s not fun either – rush hour, traffic jams, the lot – then you roll up to your house and someone’s parked in your spot. Every time. It’s just not on, is it?
If that pisses you off, imagine how one Londoner took it when he found out that the car parking spot he pays £1,200 a year for was occupied by someone else’s car one morning. And then repeatedly for the next nine days afterwards.
He left notes and even parked behind the vehicle, but it seemed that the driver had simply vanished.
Explaining in a Reddit post, the driver said: “After about 10 days I had completely lost my s**t and started to formulate a plan as to how best to f*** the person over.”
And he had tools at his disposal. With one of his colleagues – who also used the car park – going on paternity leave and his brother about to leave for Canada, he realised he had ‘two cars and an extra space’ to use as part of his plan.
He left his own car in his co-worker’s empty space and his brother’s directly behind the one who had parked illegally in his.
Then he grassed the illegal parker up to the company that owned the car park, informing them of his own and his brother’s registration, so they would not mistake them for the miscreant.
He explained: “Sure enough, as I arrive at work on Monday, I find an extremely irate, sweaty man screaming at the parking enforcement officer.
“It was explained that the car blocking him in was properly permitted, so it doesn’t matter that he now can’t move, as he was parked illegally.
“At this point, I am crying with laughter and really struggled to hold it together when they asked if I knew who owned my brother’s car. Sadly, I didn’t.”
The parking official gave the man a £100 penalty – but that was just the start of it.
The parking attendant informed the illegal parker that they couldn’t do anything about the car blocking him in, so he was handed a fine every day until the amount he owed crept up to £2000.
You can imagine that he learnt his lesson.
