OK, short story told long -- because I'm pissed.......

Today I parked my car along the side of a downtown street and went to go eat at a restaurant a 10 minute walk away. I'm about to enter the restaurant and I get a call from a guy saying I need to move my car that is "parked like an idiot" so he can get his car out. I leave my cell phone number on my dashboard for situations like these. I thought it was wierd since I made sure I wasn't blocking anybody's car when I left mine. Of course, walking back to my car took another ten minutes, during which I received two more irritated phone calls asking why I wasn't showing up. I courteously assured him that I was on my way, and that I would move my car ASAP. Though, this guys ill temper was sort of getting me worried.

As I approach my car, ready to sincerely appologize for so idiotically parking my car in a valid parking space, I notice that the guy was using his tiny little lawn area as a (illegal, I assume) parking space for his car, which I swore wasn't there when I left. The car was on the lawn with its nose up to my car's side, unable to get onto the street because of mine. Suddenly, in bloody daylight, he either didn't realize I was the car's owner or he didn't see me coming period, but I see him lean down and forcefully ram something into my right front tire. I knew what he just did, but I shouted in a friendly voice, "Hey, something stuck to my tire?" I guess my voice was a bit loud, because it looked like I startled the be-f*ukkin-jeezus out of him.

We started arguing vehemently. Come to think of it, it was more like a unilateral enumeration of all the bad words I was told not to use as a child. At first he denied doing anything, but as I insinuated that I was not interested at all in moving my car, he admitted to his little crime. Basically, he was trying to get me off his back by offering me five bucks to get the hole in my tire patched up. I laughed. More bad words on my part. "Six bucks," he said. He wasn't getting the point. During the 15 minutes of embarassing and disgraceful diatribe I delivered to his face, I managed to slip in a couple sneak questions and found out that the house we were standing in front of was where he lived. Apparantly he later regretted disclosing such information (or maybe he actually moved out in the last couple minutes) cause he started struggling to clarify that he no longer lived there. Yeah right. I made sure he saw me taking loooong good looks at both his house and his car. He knew for sure that I knew where he lived and what car he drove. I didn't live in the area, so it didn't matter that he knew my car. I just didn't have to come to that part of town.

Eventually, after several more minutes of me standing there, carefully visually examining his license plate and various windows on his house, he offered to go with me to a nearby autoshop and get my tire replaced. So I got a brand new tire, but I'm still pissed at the pussy, cause he never said sorry and till the last minute he was complaining how it took me a whole ten minutes to show up. I should have had him replace all four of my tires. I want bloody revenge, which brings me to my question:

------------------------------------------------------------------

How do I give him scorching hell for what he did?

1. He bought you a brand new tire. He's done enough. Get off his back.
2. F*ck his car/house UP!!!
3. Mess with his mind.


Okay, option 1. WRONG!!! next....

Option 2. I'm a civil, peace-loving guy. I'd hate to infllict any violence or material damage. Anyway, it would make me no better than the A-hole himself.

Which brings us to good ol' Option 3. As long as I don't cause any material or physical damage, I'd love to cause some serious psychological torture. I'm sure he's not sleeping that well anyway, being aware that I know his licence plate number and street address, not to mention how how many vertical blinds he has on each of his windows. Is this enough torture? Or are there any better ideas on how to instill pure and absolute terror in this third-rate piece of larval dung that is a man?

entertainment...eh? =P

well, how about creating letter heads with some official looking lawyer name or what not. and just lay down a bunch of random empty threats.

Park across the street in your car and just sit there and watch him. Make sure he sees you there.

irwin

Isn't it really bad to just replace only one tire?

brainsmile

I say you start to call the cops and watch him sweat.

i would have screwed him up right there actually, cause my tires are pretty expensive (kumho run flats) yes they run flat but still its the point of it.

ufcrusher

I would have called the cops right then and there. IF you are parked legally and he caused the damage...I would have filed a claim. Screw the focker.

park across the street, wearing dark clothes, while the sun is setting, so its a bit dark. smoke a cig also, give it that effect, and just stand there staring at him, and pretend to make some phone calls, and then slowly drive off. he'll expect others to show up

look like Doc Holiday in Tombstone... keep yelling "I'm your huckleberry" whenever he comes withing hearing distance.

if you're going to have fun with it, please be careful

if what you do is a perceived threat, he could call the cops on you and things will get messy very quickly

in addition, if he's smart, he may have some info on you. (plate number, knows which shop u went to when, could trace up records)

all that being said, if you're going to do something, i would be inclined to say hit hard and fast, and leave without a trace (no taunting, which inevitably always leads to getting one's *** handed to him/herself). also, do not forget that he may decide to go vigilante and get some backup.

to promote the well-being of mankind, just forgive and forget. you are the better person, and you've already come out on top.

is it really worth it? you decide.

After a good night's sleep, I feel less vindictive. From my post, looks like I was pretty pissed off. Anyway, I'd love to instill some light-hearted insomnia in this guy, but chances are I'll be too lazy to spend the time to do so. I have some friends that look like absolute thugs. I thought it would be funny to have them stand in front of his car examining it and his house. That would have freaked him out I bet. But once again, I'll probably end up just forgetting about the whole incident in a couple months.

BTW, he does in fact have my info. I guess the guy was a bit worried about the manner with which I was very carefully examining his house and car while we were arguing, cause when the mechanic was replacing my tire the azzhole was writing down my plate number for a VERY LONG time, just to make sure I saw him record it. hehe. By doing that he only reassured me that he was freightened. Satisfying enough for today.

look_ma

My question is, what was this guy thinking by doing that? I mean he called you asking to come back, you were. So he knew you were coming. And if you have a flat, how the hell are you giong to move your car? Some people, i swear.

I would say DO NOT forgive and forget. Screw this guy. He is going to be very paranoid for at least the next week. Wait for a while and then start leaving notes like:

"I know what you did last week..."

You could also drive by and take some pictures at a time you know he will be watching. People freak out when you take pictures of them/their property. A$$holes like this deserve to be punished. Stupidity should be painful...

ArkiStan

Well, it seemed like he used a very sharp instrument, because, while I could see the puncture mark, air was leaking slow enough (couldn't hear anything)that I was able to drive several miles to the repair shop without a problem. I would never have known if he hadn't admitted to doing it when I suddenly confronted him about it. I assume he was trying to plant a time bomb, so that the tire would eventually pop a week later when I'm possibly cruising down the freeway. I would have died and nobody would have suspected anything strange about the accident. Just an unfortunate flat tire accident.....Scary if you think about it...

Ok, on second thought, this guy is screwed. I'm coming you mother forker!!!

ray

Looking back at my response, if this man wasn't really a threat the day of the occurence, then I definitely would have called the cops.

nomoney

GO GET EM!!!

Eugene

While I'm more for going the official way of getting this guy good, I must say... this is just hilarious. You'd have to wear a ski mask rolled up on your head too. hahahaha.

eSDee

Send a couple of pizzas to his house and then put an end to it. No need to take any more risks and possibly mess up your life if anything goes wrong. Just move on I say.
