Pretty funny! Do you think she knew it was the shovel's owner that
did it? Maybe we should look for her video on YouTube - Avenging the
Revenge!

I had a problem at one time with people parking across my driveway and
blocking the front of my business. My cop friend told me it would be a
crime for me to damage the vehicles in any way including flattening the
tires. I told him I would think of something and I did. I started
covering their tags with duct tape and I imagine quite a few wound up
face down on the pavement with cops pointing guns at them. I told my cop
friend what I had done and after laughing himself silly, told me
that a traffic ticket for an obscured tag was quite expensive. So
whenever anyone pulled up to my place and asked if it was OK to park
there I said it would cost them a minimum of $300.00. :-)

Ah, you are one of those guys...

I have a few ways of fixing people like you once and for
all that cost a couple of thousand a pop...

So rather than deal with the issue legally, by complaining
to the proper government agency and petitioning for
"NO PARKING ANYTIME" signs being posted in front
of your driveway, you tamper with someone else's vehicle
which is contrary to the advice your wise cop friend gave
you...

You wouldn't like my kind of medicine... Because what

Oh you poor misinformed fellow. I did complain to the proper
authorities and because ALL of the people in charge are those
dastardly Affirmative Action morons, nothing was done by any
city official. I think you missed the part where I did absolutely
no damage to anyone's vehicle. Duck tape peals right off a tag
without causing any damage. Another thing you are clueless about
is the type of person who would block my drive despite the "NO
PARKING" signs and the fact that those wonderful innocents would
look right at the "NO TRESPASSING" signs and ignore them too.
When I politely informed them that they were blocking my drive,
those angelic drivers would spew a whole litany of foul and racist
epithets in my direction. It's amazing the number of curse words
a Negro female can scream per second. :-)

Must be some mistake. I thought black people could not be

I don't know about your state, but here is an excerpt from the NYS
Vehicle and Traffic Law.
This is a state law. If your state has a similar law, the authorities
were not doing their job.

SEC. 1202.
Stopping, standing, or parking prohibited in specified places
~~~~~
2. Stand or park a vehicle, whether occupied or not, except momentarily
to pick up or discharge a passenger or passengers:
a. In front of a public or private driveway;

It don't rain much in the Mojave Desert.

Why take/steal the wiper blade? For 39 cents, you could've bought two
Idaho potatoes and stuffed them up her tail pipe.

Why are people such jerks? If I had bumped your car I would have been
very concerned and very apologetic. The problem I run into is people
who scream obscenities at me when I try to apologize for bumping into
them in line or some such. I don't have a backup alarm on my trousers
and I'll have people get right up behind me in a queue and I can hit
them in the face with my elbow if I'm not careful. I have to be very
careful when turning around or stepping back because I could knock a
little person to the floor. The bad part, is some of them think it was
done on purpose. :-(

I know "a guy" who hit a parked car in a parking lot. Lots of people
saw him do it.

He went back into his car a wrote a nice note to the owner, folded it
in half and put it under the wiper. The same people who saw him hit
the car saw him write the note. He then got in his car and drove away.

The note said "I'm sorry I hit your car. There's lots of people
watching me so I figured I'd better write a note. Once again, I'm
sorry."

I never actually did this, but just heard about it from a friend who
heard it from his cousin's hairdresser's gardener.

Vandalism.
I would have let the air out of a couple of her tires.
They can be reinflated,AAA trucks carry a portable compressor.
But it takes hours for them to arrive. B-)

Revenge!


R


I had a problem at one time with people parking across my driveway and
blocking the front of my business. My cop friend told me it would be a
crime for me to damage the vehicles in any way including flattening the
tires. I told him I would think of something and I did. I started
covering their tags with duct tape and I imagine quite a few wound up
face down on the pavement with cops pointing guns at them. I told my cop
friend what I had done and after laughing himself silly, told me
that a traffic ticket for an obscured tag was quite expensive. So
whenever anyone pulled up to my place and asked if it was OK to park
there I said it would cost them a minimum of $300.00. :-)

Ah, you are one of those guys...

I have a few ways of fixing people like you once and for
all that cost a couple of thousand a pop...

So rather than deal with the issue legally, by complaining
to the proper government agency and petitioning for
"NO PARKING ANYTIME" signs being posted in front
of your driveway, you tamper with someone else's vehicle
which is contrary to the advice your wise cop friend gave
you...

You wouldn't like my kind of medicine... *Because what
goes around comes around... *:-O

What makes you thing that putting up a "no parking" sign in a "no
parking" zone will accomplish anything? They are parking illegally is
the bottom line and deserve the results.

We used to have that problem when our city's Fourth of July
celebration took place at the lake across the street from us. People
intent on having their picnic and watching the fireworks show would
park anywhere, including in our driveways, even when we homeowners
were ordering them to GTFO. We'd just phone a towing service. Towing
companies never pass up an opportunity to make their hefty profits.
And it's fun watching mom and dad's reaction when, hours later, they
and their whiny kids suddenly realize their car is GONE. Serves 'em right!

Why is it that assholes are so surprised when they get their ass handed
to them. :-)

An old towel applied to the windshield with some water, or over the door
seams, and allowed to sit works well, too. Or just a squirt of water into
the keyholes ....................... SuperGlue works good for that, too,
but that's a bit of overkill. That's usually reserved for the unfaithful,
or those who visit them. Better if the car is unlocked, and you can get to
the ignition ................

I never actually did this, but just heard about it from a friend who heard
it from his cousin's hairdresser's gardener.

Then there's the cop car being chained to the fire hydrant in "American
Graffitti."

Great! Many years ago (mid 60s) my brother and I clear a space in front of
our house to park. A lady from a block away took the spot. We just took
buckets of water and poured it over the car until coated. She did not
return. People get killed in the cities for taking a shoveled spot.
