Deva was a farmer who owns a modest field near the Village Center. The town’s population is around 2000, but it’s slowly been growing and modernizing recently. A market opened up not far from Devar’s farmhouse, welcoming the new addition with enthusiasm, as it meant a shorter walk to purchase groceries. Little did he know the negative impact the new shopping area would have on his life.
Situated in the heart of the village amidst numerous existing buildings, the new market lacked a designated parking area. Consequently, shoppers resorted to parking on neighboring streets and completing their journey on foot. However, it soon became evident that this arrangement was insufficient. The market’s popularity attracted a substantial influx of visitors, surpassing the available street parking capacity.
Unaware of the consequences, some individuals resorted to inventive solutions. One day, Devar noticed people parking in his field to access the new market for their shopping needs. Initially, the presence of a few cars didn’t bother him, so he paid little attention. However, as weeks passed, it became evident that the news was spreading. Devar’s field began attracting more and more parked cars, particularly on weekends. The situation escalated to the point where his field was completely occupied, hindering his ability to carry out essential agricultural tasks.
Frustrated, Devar started venturing outside and politely requesting people not to park on his property as they arrived. Although those who encountered him complied and moved their vehicles, it became a free-for-all when he wasn’t present in the field. Standing outside all day to block cars was simply impractical for Devar, as he had other responsibilities to attend to.
Growing increasingly desperate, he racked his brain for viable solutions to halt the influx of unwelcome vehicles on his land, but none seemed promising. In a moment of anger, Devar even entertained the thought of slashing the car tires, but he was well aware that such actions would only land him in trouble. He also thought about building a fence around the field, but that would be expensive and make it harder for him to bring his own vehicles into the field. He had to think of something that would deter people while not interfering with his life and habits.
And then he began to hatch a plan. One day, Devar came outside to find entire rows of cars parked on his field. He took a deep breath, chuckled a little at the thought of the chaos he was about to create, and slowly walked to the other side of the property. He climbed into a large red tractor and started the engine. He drove straight toward the parked cars, plowing and towing the dirt in his wake.
He’d reached a breaking point, but revenge would be sweet. Passersby started to take notice of the tractor, and people walking nearby stopped to watch the fed-up farmer as he exacted his revenge against all those inconsiderate drivers. He drove around the rows of cars, paving deep trenches across the whole field. It was clear that they would have an extremely hard time maneuvering their small vehicles through the torn-up mud and uneven surface. There was no escape.
Those who didn’t have cars on that field left the site, and one person even started recording the whole thing. But one woman was not amused. The owner of a silver Pugeot was none too happy about what Devar had done. Puffing and puffing, she got into her car and tried to drive out of the field. She didn’t get too far as the wheels soon got stuck in the mud.
But she was nothing if not persistent. She pulled out her phone and did something Devar wasn’t expecting: the angry woman called the police. And when they arrived, they were stunned at what they found. It was obvious they’d never had to deal with an incident like this before. They were immediately approached by a number of angry car owners demanding that something be done about the farmer’s transgression. Some of them even wanted him arrested.
But then the cops spoke to Devar. He told them about the hordes of cars that parked on his land and how the drivers were too lazy to walk across the road. The police heard Devar out and had to agree that the drivers were indeed in the wrong. After making sure he hadn’t intentionally done any damage to the cars, the cops turned to the drivers and delivered some bad news: there’s nothing they could do. This was, after all, Devar’s property, and he had a right to do on it what he pleased. The drivers, on the other hand, were trespassing.
Devar could have technically taken legal action against the car owners for trespassing, but leaving their cars stranded among trenches of mud was enough justice for him. It made sure that no one would ever park on his property again.
Meanwhile, the video of Devar’s revenge was spreading on social media and in the news. The video of the farmer exacting sweet revenge on the inconsiderate drivers quickly went viral, with people all over the world praising his actions. Everyone loved how he took matters into his own hands and came up with a creative solution to his problem.
One commenter wrote, “Farmer wasn’t grumpy; he was smart. No one has the right to park on private property. Good for him.” And another wrote, “Perfect. That didn’t cost him much. He didn’t involve the authorities, and he got the point across. I’m certain even today in my community, people are willing to talk things out as they always have. Unfortunately, not everyone is raised that way, but the video is an indication of a growing problem with illegal parking, and people are simply not going to stand for it any longer.”
A group of Brazilian pranksters posted a video that showed them dealing sweet justice to a driver who had illegally parked in a handicap spot. After the car was left unattended, they meticulously adorned the entire vehicle with blue and white Post-it notes, skillfully arranging them to form the unmistakable shape of a universal handicap symbol. The driver, clearly displeased, stormed off in frustration.
However, the video capturing this incident quickly spread like wildfire across the internet, generating widespread attention and shedding light on the pressing issue at hand. Yet, this is just one example of amusing retribution against illegal parkers. Growing weary of the persistent problem of inconsiderate parking, people have started devising humorous and inventive remedies.
While many, like Devar, choose to quietly endure and carry on with their day, there exists a faction that refuses to tolerate such transgressions any longer. Lazy and thoughtless parkers, take heed: your actions may have amusing consequences waiting in store.
