Call a tow truck company and get the spotter’s fee reward.
Is that a thing?
Usually. They’re slapping a heavy tow fee on. They appreciate people finding the money for them. You’re literally calling them to say, “Hey, wanna make $150 in 10 mins?” So a spotter’s fee in cash under the table is often 30% or so.
Well, shit, I’m going to have to remember that trick. I really don’t like people parking like assholes.
Take a picture of it and post it on social media for likes.
Getting likes is tight!
It’s super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah!
Call police, since our wheelchair cannot pass. They will have it towed gladly with a lot of pleasure. (The Netherlands hates these asahats)
This is poland where the police will come in 3 hours after the car is gone and if it’s still here they will send a letter to the cars owner who can just say someone else was driving.
Does it matter who’s driving? It’s your
cartank. Registered to your name. If you give the keys to someone else, you’re still responsible… unless you report it stolen. Is that really not a thing in Poland???No because there is no requirement to point out who was driving specifically. It’s a legal loophole.

Deflate the tires and use the truck bed as a trash can and/or porta potty.
Wanna be really mean? Toss in empty alcohol containers.
The icing on the cake is having the hitch ball mounted when they’ve probably never towed anything in their life. Make problems, and destroy some people’s knees at the same time.
Oof yeah, I didn’t even notice that. I woulda totally wacked my shins on it. It would leave a bruise for weeks, and probably ruin my pants with grease too.
Fuck this asshole. I’d put nails in front of his back tires so when he drives away he gets two flats. Stupid games, stupid prizes.
Do you always carry nails in your pocket?
No, but now that you’ve given me the idea…
They’re, uh… not in my pocket…
Have my wife wheel me over to where the license plate # is in view and post that bad boy to social media with a sympathetic title like “we had to take a huge detour because we couldn’t get my wheelchair around this truck”, grab some popcorn and watch as people form a digital witch hunt. Then call the police to have it towed.
I was going to say, having a wheelchair on hand would make a great way to scrape the hell out of the rear of the car with plausible deniability.
Your idea is probably better.
Roll my eyes and shake my head. Probably make a snarky comment to my companion if I was with someone.
Realest comment here
Fantasize about violence. Probably no real action other than banging into it when walking on the sidewalk.
I like to spit on it.
Lots of smack talk in here from the other side of the screen. Best malicious compliance is probably just call and report them for parking improperly. Or just walk across their car.
No no no, you at least have to take a picture and put it on Lemmy.
I would report, and nothing would be done
So yeah, I’d cut valves and scratch paint
You don’t understand what “malicious compliance” is, champ
I hate these fuckers. This happens a lot in my home town. I was young i just cursed the fuckers and kept going. Nowadays i would deflate the tire.
I need to get one of those valve stem core remover tools in my backpack. I guess a pair of wire dykes would be faster.
use the tyre as a step to step up onto the bed cover, step across it, and jump down the other side.
Look at mister fancy pants with his functioning knees.
They work for now!
With metal cleats
I’m not gonna go out of my way for them, but I might step a bit hard on the bed cover. Oops.
I had neighbours around me that did this shit regularly
I would drag a coin, walk over the bonnet with bouncy steps, break wing mirrors and the like
I had a spouse who required a wheelchair for a while, so I took it very personally
It also forces people with strollers to push their children into the road.
You can push a pushchair along the side of the car.
Parking enforcement.
And maybe check if the hitch is locked in.
This is probably what I’d do. It’s free money for the town, isn’t it?
Call the city line and report illegal parking. They will at least get a nice ticket, and if you’re lucky, they’ll get towed :)
No they won’t, parking enforcement sucks in poland where this picture was taken.
Pedestrians have to resort to other means such as these “karny kutas” (punitive dick) stickers:
Annoyingly, in the jurisdiction I live, the driver will get your address if you report it
