A woman has been praised for getting revenge on an entitled stranger who parked his car on her immaculately kept garden.
She explained how her property is situation opposite a pub that hosts live music nights on Mondays.
With parking spaces at a premium, one motorist decided her garden made a perfectly acceptable overflow car park.
Furious at the audacity, she resolved to teach the culprit an unforgettable lesson.
Taking to Reddit, she wrote: “I came out to walk over and listen to the music yesterday and… someone had clearly found it so hard to park that they drove up over the kerb and parked on my lawn.
“Yup. Driven up over the curb and nestled their piece-of-crap car between my flower pots and onto the manicured grass.
“I went into the pub to ask whoever it was to move and I saw one of the musicians look shifty, but he didn’t own up. Or move. Fine.”
She then headed home to collect a pen, some Post-it notes, heavy-duty duct tape and a bright red.
She went on: “I wrote DO NOT PARK HERE in bright red lipstick on every single window, including the little side ones at the back.
“Then I wrote NO PARKING on four or five Post-it notes and stuck them to the front and back windscreens with a ludicrous amount of duct tape – about two feet per note.
“I knew full well that whoever had parked there was probably watching me through the pub window. I hope they also enjoyed their drive of shame home, scraping the duct tape glue off the glass and trying to remove the rock-hard, set lipstick. Then I went to bed.”
By daybreak, the vehicle had disappeared, and she got to work fitting a new wooden post in the gap to prevent a repeat occurrence.
Whilst the majority of users applauded her for teaching the inconsiderate stranger a lesson, others weighed in with their own suggestions for handling the situation.
One user said: “Vaseline smeared on the windows and door handles.”
Another added: “Dumping any foul-smelling liquid down the windshield air vents is another option. Unless they know how to change the cabin air filter, it will be a permanent stench.”
A third person said: “I knew someone who once had issues with another party, so they sprayed the offending party’s whole car in heavy-duty spray adhesive.”
One more person added: “Since it was parked in your yard, I would think you couldn’t be held responsible if your garden sprinklers activated at their normal time and drenched the vehicle with grey water mixed with liquid fertiliser. And if that water happened to drain down into the vehicle’s air vents, well.”
