Some neighbors exchange baked goods, others exchange passive-aggressive standoffs.

When one man weaponized his driveway just to annoy his neighbor, he never expected his darkest secrets to come back into view.

You’ll want to read on for this one.

Neighbor likes to park in front of my house? Okay then.

My neighbor started parking on the street behind my car (like literally inches) for no apparent reason.

My neighbor has an empty driveway and also lived 2 houses down the street.

I don’t have a driveway, so on-street parking is a must for me.

The parker finally confronts their neighbor, who makes it clear he won’t make this easy.

So, after a few weeks, I asked if it was necessary to park so close when there were literally no cars on the street for over a 1/4 mile.

He said, “No, but there’s no law against it,” with a big grin on his face.

A few weeks pass by, and my car gets hit because someone thought there was enough room to clear as his truck blocked the view of my car entirely.

I see this happen, but unfortunately can’t get a model or license plate number.

So they ask their neighbor for help.

I find my neighbor’s email address (because I really didn’t feel like talking to him) and asked him again if he could just park further down the road, closer to his house.

He replied, “Nope.”

Okay.

I had lived here for quite a long time and never had any issues with him or any other neighbor.

I keep to myself, never make noise, don’t have any noisy pets or parties, etc.

So the parker decides it’s time to do a little sleuthing.

His truck has his business name on it.

Google it.

Find out it’s his own business.

Lots of Yelp reviews, BBB rating, etc.

All these links point to his website.

I go to check his website — it doesn’t load up.

I head over to Whois and see that the domain isn’t registered. I snag it.

But they end up uncovering more than they ever bargained for.

Before I think of what to do with it, I google the owner’s name and find out he’s been convicted of a heinous crime 20-ish years ago.

I find a handful of links that detail his story rather explicitly.

Time to share their findings!

I copy/paste all those links into an email to him (a throwaway account so he can’t just reply to me as I deleted it afterward).

Said something like:

“Well, if you want to be a jerk for no reason, I just bought your business domain. Here’s all the links I plan on posting on it. I don’t have to list your business name because all of your business listings across the internet have this URL pointing to it. Keep parking like a jerk. Yes, it’s legal, but you are willfully doing this just to annoy me. I legally bought your domain and can legally link these articles. Park behind me again, and I’ll launch it.”

As one could imagine, this got the neighbor’s attention.

Within an hour, his truck was moved into his driveway.

He asked me for the domain, and I told him:

“When either you move or I move, I’ll hand it over. Until then, it’ll remain offline.”

Street parking turned into street justice!

What did Reddit make of this story?

It’s safe to say they’ve got this neighbor wrapped around their finger now.

Maybe blackmailing isn’t the answer here.

The neighbor was foolish enough to fall for the trap, so might as well make some money off it!

All it took was a little digging and a lot of motivation.

The driveway was finally clear, and his dark past was now parked front and center.
