If it’s a persistent problem, and a tow truck isn’t an option…
Get a set of cheap car dollies, then you can move it out of the way. THEN you can place it perpendicular to the parking spots with the bumper at that support beam and he’ll be stuck until the blue car leaves.
Play stupid games win stupid prizes!
I’d put the truck between the pillar and the wall if short enough, so they couldn’t get out without tow truck.
Or car dollies
I think the better option is to start by moving it to the correct spot twice then the third time pull the evil. They’re truly asking for it if they don’t stop after the first or second time their truck isn’t where they parked it
You guys need to chill a bit and stop suggesting illegal shit. This isn’t the poster’s car. This was posted on Reddit about 8 days ago and then shared by BuzzFeed 2 days ago.
The guy in the car was able to get out and then talked to the building manager who then assigned the truck a new parking spot.
He should completely disassemble the car, and then install each piece in a different car in the lot. Then he can build a new car in the original spot from the displaced pieces. A maneuver known as the auto-troll shuffle.
This makes me happy, I approve
This comment section is fucking brutal.
The driver deserves to die, obviously.
As do we all
Fuckin kill him!
I agree!!!
/s
I also /s
I hate I have to spell it out. Not necessarily to you but… come on, internet.
I disagree. All of it is justified.
I’da just got him towed like a bitch, back left tire is in my spot, that’s a
paddlin’towin’!That truck driver needs to learn to back in. This situation is exactly why pickup trucks are often parked with the front facing out.
I thought trucks were backed in for the hitch to not stick out. Why would backing the truck in help? Just so the driver could see wtf they were doing?
Thanks for the explanation everyone! I have started to drive a truck at work and I didn’t know about this
And thanks for not being jackasses while explaining too!
We want to use our pitch forks!!! Don’t you stop us getting triggered!!! /s
sounds like a towin ’
Where I live, they make you pay for the tow up front which sucks.
Read that in the voice of Jasper from the Simpsons.
no shit the offender drives a pavement princess pickup truck
Considering I don’t see a lift kit, expanded exhaust, and giant low-profile tires; this just looks like a regular pickup truck to me. The luster on the paint is even a little faded, so it’s getting old. Driver is just an asshole here. Probably a shitty driver, since the rear bumper is hanging at an angle.
No you don’t understand everyone who drives a pickup is bad no matter what fuckcars told me so
dude, a pickup truck is terrible no matter how you qualify it, they’re needlessly huge and have barely any cargo space, they’re just objectively bad in every single way.
there is no use case where a pickup truck is better than something like a kei truck, they even come in actually usefully lifted versions that would traverse offroad environments better since they’re lighter.
there is no use case where a pickup truck is better than something like a kei truck
I like the mini-trucks like the Kei, they are practical and useful for light loads around town. What they don’t do is heavy loads and / or long distances.
So here’s a “use case” where my full sized American pickup truck is required. Several times in the last 6 months I’ve pulled a triple axle trailer weighing 12,000lbs (5,440 kilograms) a distance of 200 miles (320 kilometers) at an elevation of 6,000 feet (1,828 meters) ). Assuming the weight didn’t collapse the rear axle or buckle the frame on a Kei then trying to actually pull the weight would certainly destroy the transmission and / or engine.
If you want to discuss “cargo space” then ALL pickups, including the Kei, suck. Holding cargo internally is what van bodies are for, not pickup bodies. This why city based tradesman the world over drive chassis with van bodies.
So called “Off Road” is a whole different can of worms, nearly no one really does it (even if they think they do) and I’d submit that NO mass produced pickup is truly suited for it as real Off Roading is done with vehicles specialized for the terrain they are working in.
Mini-trucks are great at what they’re meant for but they aren’t meant for everything.
If you live in a village and don’t have to haul much weight or drive far, sure, kei trucks make sense. I definitely saw them around Germany and France. In the US, everything is spread out. Also, kei trucks aren’t widely available in the US, and certainly not as much as Pickup trucks. Pickup trucks are also designed with use as a daily driver, since most people buying one will have that as their only vehicle. For someone with a great need of one, it’s both a highway vehicle and an off-road capable vehicle with high ground clearance. It’s a truck that will let you tow a trailer full of equipment one day and make that 50-mile commute to work the next.
I love reminding Dodge drivers that the Chinese CCP owns it and RAM name. Not because that is bad or anything it’s just that most RAM drivers are also racists so that helps rile em up.
Actually, things have changed a bit.
Stellantis is the company that came about from the merger of the Italian–American conglomerate Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and the French PSA Group.
After the merger, the main owners were
- Agnelli family (Exor): 14.40%
- Peugeot family (Etablissements Peugeot Frères, EPF): 7.19%
- Bpifrance: 6.18%
- Dongfeng Motor Corporation: 4.5%
So, it would seem it’s not correct to say that Dodge or RAM is owned by the CCP. It’s more Italian and French than it is Chinese…
I’ve been told many times that China controls Reddit and that’s a 5% stake, so …
I’m a RAM driver who’s considered attaching Federation of Planets flags to my flatbed in order to make fun of trucks with American flags on them.
Better than the “Let’s go Brandon” banners I see on most of the pickups around here.
I actually saw a lifted pickup this week, plastered with a half dozen “student driver” stickers, a let’s go Brandon sticker covering his entire rear window, and a giant AR-15 sticker on the side.
Driver looked like he was 15 years old too!
Brand new Raptor, no plates

Dollies, right?
The autocorrect fight is real. Many of my comments have something like it because I type the word I want and sometimes autocorrect changes it the moment I hit “space”.
Barring getting the truck towed this is probably the best “illegal” response. It’s proportional, inconveniences them in kind, and doesn’t involve property damage.
Aye. Too many of the suggested responses either a.) are wildly out of what another person would consider reasonable, increasing your chances of losing if it goes to a court or being assaulted by said asshole, and b.) don’t have any connection to the actual offense, and the asshole would never know why, without a doubt, that the action was taken.
One of the problems with revenge (deflating the tires, keying, etc.) is that there’s nothing stopping the neighbor from doing it right back the next day.
Yeah, if you want them to stop you’ve got to kill them
It’s the only way.
Ah, the Ender Wiggin solution.
This does work 100% btw. Can have minor side effects tho.
Everybody here with slashing tires and me just thinking water in the tank sounds nice. But I just recommend putting water in the tank and maybe some salt and a dash of fresh piss. The truck will run but eventually it’s gonna die and will smell like piss for a bit. If it doesn’t die, the salt and water mixture will start to corrode the interior of the gas tank.
Better is to piss on the windshield, goes into the AC intake and the whole interior smells of piss until you strip the whole thing out and wash/replace it. Bonus points if you’re super dehydrated.
You forgot eating asparagus a couple hours before.
No I didn’t, I wrongfully assumed that was standard procedure. There’s a difference.
But I don’t need to piss right now, can’t I just put this expired shellfish in the blender and pour it in the vents?
10000000¹⁰⁰⁰⁰% yes.
I wonder how long fart spray will last?
Plastic doesn’t corrode. (Arbitrary Dodge Pickup Gas Tank Pic: https://www.moparpartsinc.com/p/Dodge__Ram-1500/TANK-Fuel-26-Gallon-Fuel-Tank--26-Gallon/42394059/55398734AA.html )
Are you stupid? “My day was inconvenienced, better destroy a vehicle in a place there’s almost certainly security cams”
Flour at the bottom of the windshield where that AC air intake is. It’ll blow flour all through the car and they’ll never get it out.
Would glitter work?
Calm down, Satan.
Satan was also justified.
Why compromise? 50-50 glitter and flour.
I hate glitter with a passion, but no, this time? This time, they earned it.
Infuriated upvote
Did you also torture little animals as a child?
Except that the truck probably has a cabin air filter
Well, at least you’ll clog it
Rancid fish oil, you said?
What air filter lets flour through?
If it’s summer, use raw eggs. It’ll stink like hell for a very long time…
Have them towed. The several hundred dollar fee to get their truck out of the impound might impart a lesson.
Garages aren’t always large enough to allow tow truck access.
There was that one issue where a Tesla broke down in a garage and the owner incurred thousands of dollars in fines but nobody could remove the car because the ceiling and ramps were too small.
So, legal question. In this situation, obviously you document it like this, but then would you be in the clear to push it out of the way somehow in a typical jurisdiction? Usually the law allows you certain extra rights when your stuff or person is trapped by someone else’s usual legal rights. For example, if your property is surrounded by that of another person they can’t stop you from passing through.
I reckon in an emergency you could make a case, otherwise call property mgt and get it towed.
My guess based on nothing is that these guys know each other, might be roommates
Omg they were roommates?
Yep, all of the evidence they don’t know about points to it
Good enough for me!
Case closed boys, let’s wrap it up!
Bake’em away toys!
#sapphoandherparkingjob
Ok hear me out, if this is an apartment parking garage, then spots assigned to the same address would be more likely to be next to each other, plus there’s so much risk of someone fucking up your car if you pull this shit, my guess is they know each other and one person is fucking with the other.
That’s my theory.
You could be right, the truck driver could also be an asshole lol.
I was assuming it’s an actual neighbor, who has some kind of beef with OP.
1 bottle fish sauce
Pour over lower windshield.
Repeat as necessary
Better yet. Build a contraption that sprays fish sauce into the windshield of the car next to yours.
Then, through no fault of your own, their vehicle was sprayed by your defective vehicle’s fluids.
Put slices of bologna all over the car so when he peels them off, it takes big circles out of the paint. That still works, right? 🤔
I think that’s baloney
You brilliant bastard.
The car is over the line. Contact your condo board with a picture. If this is a one time thing, he may have been drunk on too many beers.
Oh well it’s alright then as long as he was drunk driving. I would hate to think that he was sober when he did it that would be terrible.
Of courses, because it demonstrates intent. I didn’t say it was alright.
Average Ram truck driver
Reminds me of this glorious way of dealing with a similar problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qc0aaY-3qY
Where do I get one of those saws to keep in my trunk?
It’s an angle grinder with a cutoff wheel. You can get one from any hardware store.
