A man has been hailed a 'legend' for his revenge against his "garbage neighbour" who kept parking up in his driveway. He explained how his neighbour refused to pay the $270 (£212) per month fee to park on his own drive - and would instead park up on the road.
But when there wasn't enough space, he decided to use his neighbour's parking space instead. Taking to Reddit, the man said: "I live in a fairly large city where parking is difficult and my next-door neighbour doesn't want to pay the extra $270 a month to park in the driveway of where he lives.
"So, he parks on the street and takes up two spaces when he can find a spot. When he can't, he feels entitled to park in my driveway or at least block it as well as other neighbours'." Describing his neighbour as "scum", he says he regularly dumps trash on his lawn and keeps everybody up by shouting on the phone at midnight.
"He parked and I told him I needed to get out and he said that it wasn't his problem," he added. "So I called a tow truck and he got towed out of my driveway.
"They have multiple garages, one not far from me and they have another in all other boroughs."
It turns out the towing company also have a vendetta against his nuisance neighbour as they have come into contact with him before.
He said: "They don't like the guy either because he has been towed, elsewhere, before and he is always rude to them and their staff because it's never his fault for parking like [an idiot].
"I told them to take it all the way to their garage in Staten Island which requires paying a $15 toll to get there along with mileage and all other expenses as well as sitting in traffic for two hours.
"My neighbour comes back and is fuming, asking where his car is, I respond 'Not my problem'.
"Have fun sitting in traffic and paying a $15 toll as well as your fees."
Praising him for his 'petty revenge', one user said: "Perfect execution, just the right amount of pettiness. You paid him with the same coin."
Another user added: "You are a legend."
A third user said: "How do people even think this will work out well for them? How? Oh yeah, I'll totally block this guy's driveway, what's he gonna do about it?"
One more user added: "This just makes me insanely happy. I hate your neighbour."
