Neighbour deliberately blocking OP

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.
- This comment section is fucking brutal.
  
  I mean there should be consequences for being an asshole and the fact that assholes very rarely receive said consequences is why when they do it's usually brutal.
  I'd definitely have scratched the paint on the passenger side and probably spit on the windshield.
  Don't be an asshole and you won't have to worry about the consequences of being an asshole 🤷
  
  The driver deserves to die, obviously.
  
  Fuckin kill him!
  
  it's because too many live in a fantasy world and smell their own farts
- 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
- Wrong. Molotov cocktail.
  
  No, too much collateral damage. We're not savages after all.
- 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'm not following...how is the direction of the car relevant to this photo?
  
  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!
- 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'!
- We want to use our pitch forks!!! Don't you stop us getting triggered!!! /s

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!
- This is deliciously evil, I love 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
- 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 don't get it. What beam?
  
  pillar

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.
- Epic.

- I mean... The numbers don't lie.
  https://www.thedrive.com/news/38238/ram-2500-drivers-have-the-most-duis-more-than-twice-the-national-average-report

sounds like a towin '
- Where I live, they make you pay for the tow up front which sucks.
  
  It does make sense to have the person who wants the tow to pay for it rather than the whole extortion racket it becomes when the owner of the car pays for it. Even when illegally parked, it should be a ticket from law enforcement rather than essentially grand theft auto unless you pay whatever amount they ask for or do a grand theft auto back to them.
- 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.

call a tow company they'll eat that up
- No I'm pretty sure they'd just tow it away
  
  OP needs to call Robosaurus

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
  
  Ah, the Ender Wiggin solution.
  
  It’s the only way.
  
  This does work 100% btw. Can have minor side effects tho.
- "An eye for an eye" leaves the whole world with a body shop repair bill.
- You just do it like 3 weeks later. They'll have no idea.
- Never park there again
  
  Leave the country

Makes me wish that OP had an absolutely beat to shit 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. Then you can just play bumper cars with idiots like that.

This four pack of car Dolly's and a rapid floor jack.
- 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".
- 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.
- What if you jacked it up by the tow hitch and then gave it a good shove?

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.
  
  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
  
  I wonder if they could use some kind of substance that just smells really bad instead then
  
  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...
- Can of spray cooking oil. Light spray on the windscreen, they hit the wipers and it turns into a cloudy oily mess.
  Edit: Its dangerous and stupid, dont do it. I have however had it done to me, its every bit as annoying as it sounds.
  
  Messing with visibility could endanger other people around the car. Best stick with flour in the cabin air intake.

Why are you talking in 3rd person?
- Probably a repost so technically not op

A tire valve stem removal tool is a few dollars.
- A knife is way better and u probably already have one
  
  Knife is not way better, it's actually a pretty dangerous way to deflate a tire.

1 bottle fish sauce
Pour over lower windshield.
Repeat as necessary
- What's that do? Won't it just get washed away with wiper blades, or rain?
  
  It'll get sucked into the cabin intake, saturate the cabin filter and forevermore the car will stink like old fish sauce
  
  Most air intake for the heat and air comes into the cabin from the vents below the windshield.
- 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
  
  Only if its sitting in the sun iirc
- 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.

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

Sounds like you need a referral for a towing company
- Many won't tow out of garages like this because there isn't enough vertical height.
  
  Just request a wheel lift and not a rollback.

Throw nails in the parking spot. Then tell neighbor about someone putting nails. Gain neighbors trust and ask politely to move the truck.
- OR, and hear me out, throw nails in neighbor's face. Offer to drive neighbor to the ED, then say, "Aw, I can't. I'm blocked in." Edit: Forgot /s.
  
  Best solution i've seen here by far.
  
  You just do nails in my face!
  No I didn't that was someone else, I'm a different person

How do we know it isn't OP deliberately blocking neighbor?

- 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.

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.
  
  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?
- 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 )
- 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"

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?
  
  I was assuming it's an actual neighbor, who has some kind of beef with OP.

Cool way to get me to break every window on your shitty truck.
- Maybe that is the trick. Set up a camera and record. Now they have footage of you commiting several crimes.
  
  All it takes is a big hat and sunglasses and maybe a covid mask and they can't prove it was you.

- 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.
  
  It's an angle grinder with a cutoff wheel. You can get one from any hardware store.

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.

Use an hydraulic jack (every car should have one in the trunk) to lift the rear axle of the truck as high as you can, then push it, now you can proceed to get out of the parking spot
- What kind of cars do you buy that every one comes with a hydraulic jack?
  
  I'm not saying they come with the car, I'm saying that every car should have one. If you have a car and you don't own an hydraulic jack (or a device to lift your car to change a tire) then go and buy one.
  
  I have yet to own a car that didn't come with a tire jack. Pretty sure they are built with every car.
- 2 floor jacks with wheels and you can put that truck wherever you want. Even better spend about $150 at Harbor Freight for 2 sets of wheel dollies and you can roll it right out to the street. That's extra fun if it's an above ground garage with a curved ramp.
- Move it in front of the accessible parking space and contact parking enforcement. Then watch him get a $500 ticket
- While you're at it, might as well swivel his truck's rear end behind the column so he can't get out.
- one with wheels on it, right? Maybe important to note
  
  No I think the idea is to lift it up real high and then just knock it over. It'll move the car damage it too sure but who gives a shit

What’d you do? Gonna need updates on this one
- Reddit repost. Not gonna get your answer on this one
  
  Fuck OP. Not gonna keep that upvote on this one

"Time to do some sketchy shit, do da, do da, hope I get away with it, all the do da day"

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.
  
  They'd have to prove you did it in the first place. Sure, you may have the motive, but "innocent until proven guilty". But yeah, the other owner could be a vindictive asshole and it would just start a war.
- 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…

Is there any backstory? For all we know the car owner just did something horrible and the truck owner has blocked their escape until the authorities arrive.
- Yes. This was originally posted on Reddit and has since been resolved a while ago.

Painfully ghet out from the side and park horizontally behind him ...

Let the air out of their tires.

hehehe face on this truck. Car looks annoyed, and maybe horny.

Is there some beef between you?

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).
- Your friend is a poor mechanic and I'd be wary of any advice they give you.
- 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

Time to get a couple friends and some jack dolleys. Jack the truck up, and move it somewhere else, preferably in an equally awkward position.

Isn't that just your average nose-first-parking-enjoyer?
- OP is too. No wonder they cannot get out.
  Have a nice and obsruction-free way out of your parking spot fellow back-first-parking-chad
