Man Gets Revenge On Neighbor For Taking Shoveled Parking Spot By Pouring Water All Over His Windshield

In OP's story, he talks about how he and his wife were down to one car. After a snowstorm, they spent a lot of time digging the car out so that they could go to the store. But when they returned, a neighbor had stolen the spot. There's an unwritten rule that you don't take someone else's shoveled spot at OP's apartment complex, so he was especially angry.

So he went into his home, poured gallons of water into a bucket, and made a few trips back and forth to pour the water on the neighbor's windshield. Sure, the neighbor didn't have to shovel a spot, but he did have to scrape inches of solid ice off his windshield the next morning.

It's pretty common knowledge that you don't steal someone else's spot in the winter like that. One user shared how their complex has kids who will shovel spots for you -- for a fee, of course.

This unwritten rule is pretty universal. But what's kind of surprising is how different cities will use different methods to reserve the parking spot they shoveled. Like in Pittsburgh (and Chicago, apparently), people will stick folding chairs on the spot, and other people will know that a spot with a chair is taken.

One user shared the story of how her dad did something similar in the 90s. Somebody took the spot he shoveled, so he shoveled a new spot for himself (as well as a few for the neighbors), and piled all the snow on the spot stealer's car.

As they say, revenge is a dish best served cold.
