Some people just simply don’t value the property of others.
But what happens when they’re your neighbor and it’s your car?
Let’s find out what neighborly occurrences went down in this parking lot by reading this Reddit post below.
Neighbor dented side of my car because they parked too close and didn’t leave information or a note, I corrected their behaviour
This is a great life hack I discovered…
My apartment is an older place with assigned parking spaces. 6 months ago a new tenant moved in and was assigned a spot next to mine.
Almost every time I got home and pulled into my parking spot I noticed they were over the parking line into my spot or on top of the line.
Giving me very little room to park.
The ol’ door wingspan with parking — it always gives me anxiety!
One night, I parked and their car wasn’t there.
The next morning, I go to my car and see them parked over the line and a dent in the side of my car.
I immediately knew it was [them], as I measure the trajectory of their door to my car, and the paint matched.
Clearly, their door hit my car.
Guess they’re not going to be borrowing a cup of sugar from this neighbor any time soon…
No note was left, and when I called my property management they said unfortunately they don’t have cameras, so I can’t prove it was them aside from the paint.
In my head I thought, “Fine, want to **** my car up? Have fun with all the dents I leave on yours.”
Is this an official car-dent war? Let’s find out…
Every day, I came home and saw them over the line or on it.
I dented their car with my door.
I left many dents.
They since never parked on the lines or over it ever again.
WOW. This was a true blue “justice served” moment, if I do say so myself!
I trained my neighbor to not be a ****.
It isn’t often that a neighbor knows they were in the wrong and silently retreats. This guy played the car game fair and square, right? Well, let’s see what the comments think.
Some Redditors had other suggestions on how to seek justice.
One user got very creative on how to prevent this problem from happening again.
Another user noted the psychology behind the car parking madness.
And another commenter noted that all of this could’ve been avoided quite easily.
At the end of the day, this Redditor took matters into his own hands and successfully sought peaceful justice.
While it’s not the typical conclusion we hear from stories like this, it’s always a relief when the matter is settled swiftly and fairly.
As they say, “a dent for a dent”!
