      I used to condone this, but people are stupid and can drive on the flat tire until it explodes, potentially putting other peoples lives at risk.

      Not worth it for some petty revenge.

          Can take hours to fully deflate, they could be on the Highway home by the time they go flat enough to be noticeable.

            I guess you could leave a sticky note on driver’s window that says something like “oopsie woopsie I noticed your tires are deflated, this car is unsafe to drive :(”. Also you could just unscrew the valve core to make sure tires deflate quickly.

              No no no, gotta be worse than that. Leave a note apologizing for the damage. There is no damage. They’ll be looking for hours

                I like it. A note that says, “I thought I could squeeze in but there wasn’t enough room. Sorry about the damage.” Might make them reconsider doing this again.

              Maybe I’ve had someone have this happen to them and the tire exploded and hurt an innocent bystander. It’s a large world.

              The possibility is there if you think for more than a few seconds on the possible consequences of something.

            If you have comprehensive coverage, this will be covered. If the damage is of less value than your deductible, you won’t receive any money.

          I’ve been told if you do all four insurance might be more apt to cover it, best to do one to three of them that way it might not be covered

    Well, that guy is clearly a massive prick, but let’s also talk about how fucking ugly that truck is. I don’t know when everyone decided that land yacht pickup trucks were the bees knees, but they’re not. They’re just dumb and so. goddamn. ugly.

      Just check the bed. If there’s a liner, chances are the truck is needed. If it’s clean, it’s a vanity truck.

      I own a 350 and am very aware of just how big this truck is. But I do need the pulling power for work related things. I’ve also used it to help people that have broken down.

        I haven’t seen a new truck without a bed liner in decades. I apparently thought they were standard equipment.

        If you need one, you need one, but I’m confident that a tiny percentage of these things are used for actual work. Also: still ugly. Sorry.

    Better revenge, line up a bunch of carts around the truck, so he has to move them all to get out.

    My move lately has been to stand their windshield wipers up. You’re not doing anything criminally damaging to their vehicle, but in my experience, anyone this self-important will be really bothered by the thought of some random person putting their dirty hands on their precious baby.

    In the old days, a friend of mine would carry some paper(?) stickers(?) (labels?) that said something like “I park like an asshole” and superglue it to one of the windows of someone parked like this.

    If you wanted to be nicer, you could get some proper pre-printed stickers (most online print/sticker shops should have them) and place them. Wouldn’t cause any damage but would maybe make them think about it a little bit.

    I also saw a post recently where someone replaced all the tire valve caps with bright orange or pink little dick shaped caps. This would cause more inconvenience and embarrassment, but not be damaging or dangerous.

      Holy shit I just found penis tire caps on AliExpress, definitely buying some lol

      Edit: I realized I don’t have the courage to actually do this to someone in public and risk getting caught, so I didn’t end up buying any, but they are readily available from your preferred discount app if anyone else wants to

      I knew a guy that had a roll of custom-printed “I park like a jackass” stickers. They weren’t very large – I think they were originaly labels for folders or something.

      But they were on tamper-proof stickers, the kind that were metalic and broke into a bunch of tiny pieces when you tried to peel them off.

      He’d slap two or three of them on the driver’s side windshield and window out of the main line of sight, but you couldn’t miss them when driving.

      They’re a pain in the ass to get off. I know, because he put one on my car that said, “I lick sweaty ballsacks”.
