sounds like a towin ’
Read that in the voice of Jasper from the Simpsons.
Where I live, they make you pay for the tow up front which sucks.
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?
This will work great, especially if you hit the gas tank or lines.
Looks like someone’s tires need to get slashed
Just call a tow truck. No need to resort to revenge. Them having to retrieve the truck and pay the fees should be enough of a deterrent without giving them reasons to call the police.
Towing is more expensive and takes longer.
Even better. I didn’t think towing was more than a couple hundred dollars.
Not everyone can afford a couple hundred dollars to get at an annoying neighbour
I had a similar issue with a truck and just called my apartment, they had them towed at the car owner’s expense. That’s usually the best option is contact whoever owns the garage or property management and they’ll get the asshole towed on the asshole’s dime usually.
It shouldn’t cause the victim anything for this. Just get the parking garage people to call the towing company.
I think they meant the person who calls for the tow has to pay upfront.
Looks like a parking garage of some sort. Property owners most likely already have a contract with a tow company for parking violations. Should be able to call the property manager to get it towed or call the towing company whose number is probably one of many signs there.
Huh? Just have the people responsible for the parking garage call the tow truck.
If it’s illegally parked and you’re not the property owner you definitely don’t have to pay to get it towed
Tire inflation valve cores are surprisingly easy to remove.
Yeah but then you’re even more stuck because now the truck is stuck as well…
you can just unscrew the valve stem cap, drop a bb sized pebble in the cap, screw the cap back on and walk away when you hear it start hissing. No tools needed, takes 10 seconds and you haven’t done any property damage.
truck tires especially can have high enough PSI to mess you up if you just go ripping valve stems out while inflated and under load so that really shouldn’t be a recommendation. nobody wants their hand surprised degloved.
You haven’t done any property damage….? Until they start driving 5 minutes later and the tire goes flat mid drive which causes it to explode. The vehicle then loses control and hits a completely innocent random bystander.
Congrats, you just committed manslaughter for petty revenge.
I don’t find your reasoning compelling, it takes less than 5 minutes for the tire to deflate and modern vehicles have pressure warnings on the dash. So your scenario requires a whole bunch of corner cases happening at the same time.
of course you shouldn’t engage in petty revenge but if anyone chooses to do so they should know how to it without hurting themselves.
Deflated tires don’t explode, that’s overfilled
If you have a flat and try driving on it: that’s in the for destroying your rims and tire
That truck doesn’t have tire pressure any higher than a car does. It’s the large trucks like semi trucks and dump trucks that have the high-pressure tires.
Definitely not true. I have a relative with a truck similar to the pictured one, and the rear tires are around 85 psi. If the individual thinks they need tow-worthy tires, they can definitely get them.
you can’t assess the psi accurately through guessing like that. An idiot who overinflated his tires coupled with a heavy load in the back can absolutely make a tire like that dangerous on sudden decompression.
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.
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
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
This is deliciously evil, I love it
Play stupid games win stupid prizes!
I don’t get it. What beam?
pillar
What’d you do? Gonna need updates on this one
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.
Both of those links are crazy in very different ways.
Dolly’s
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”.
Even better if it doesn’t change it till you hit send
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?
Tanks have been plastic for a while.
Are you stupid? “My day was inconvenienced, better destroy a vehicle in a place there’s almost certainly security cams”
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 )
hehehe face on this truck. Car looks annoyed, and maybe horny.
I all of you immediately suggesting keying and shit makes me.
Makes you what?
Understand I this well very
Let the air out of their tires.
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.
If it’s summer, use raw eggs. It’ll stink like hell for a very long time…
Can of spray cooking oil. Light spray on the windscreen, they hit the wipers and it turns into a cloudy oily mess.
Messing with visibility could endanger other people around the car. Best stick with flour in the cabin air intake.
That’s what this is
The car is parked tho, you could spray the oil around the glass a bit, so they use the wiper first thing
now if they start driving with the windscreen in that state it’s gonna be their fault
it’s gonna be their fault
Little comfort to the kid they run over. We’ve already established they aren’t too bright. They absolutely will try to drive it.
Would glitter work?
Did you also torture little animals as a child?
Infuriated upvote
Calm down, Satan.
I hate glitter with a passion, but no, this time? This time, they earned it.
Satan was also justified.
Except that the truck probably has a cabin air filter
Well, at least you’ll clog it
Rancid fish oil, you said?
I wonder if they could use some kind of substance that just smells really bad instead then
What air filter lets flour through?
I had a neighbor who was terrible about staying in their lines. My dad taught me how to park real good though. So, anytime they made their depth perception my problem I’d take the extra five minutes just to make sure I was atomically close to their driver side door. One morning I was lucky enough to see them climb in through their passenger side and abuse their transmission to get out of our parking spot without hitting me. I was late to work that day but the satisfaction was worth the infraction.

my mechanic friend is telling me that if you want to fuck that truck to death right where it sits, like, absolutely total it and destroy its internals completely, all you have to do is shove a potato in its tailpipe. like, really deep in so you can’t see it from the outside. it will burst all its valves and destroy the engine :D
of course you have to have a big enough potato that cramming it into the pipe will form a seal by shearing the sides flush to the interior of said pipe, and to create enough friction that the pressures produced by the engine will be unable to push it clear (or shoot it out like a pneumatic cannon).
I have a very hard time believing that an internal combustion engine would sustain significant damage prior to stalling. An engine could run, albeit very poorly, with extreme backpressure (say, an exhaust blockage but perhaps some leaks elsewhere in the exhaust system). If the exhaust was perfectly sealed, there would be so much backpressure that the mixture would be starved of air and there would simply not be any explosion in the cylinders. I have limited knowledge of diesel engines but would expect a similar result.
Here’s a video where an exhaust pipe is plugged. You can see how quickly the car stalls (at 10:00): https://piped.video/watch?v=jnoW0skAChA
Your friend is a poor mechanic and I’d be wary of any advice they give you.
