Many of the best stories feature some form of vengeance. There’s something so satisfying about seeing a bad person get what they deserve. The best revenge stories, however, are those that took place in real life. When Hunter and Lara ran into the wrong people at the wrong time, they learned this lesson. And, while they did get their big payoff in the end, it didn’t happen without some creative thinking.
Couple Gets Revenge Towards Girls Who Stole Their Parking Spot
A Relaxing Day
Hunter and Lara were unwinding in front of the television when they developed a sweet tooth. It was also a snack they couldn’t find in the apartment. Boston creme, jelly filling, and powdered sugar were the couple’s fantasies… They wanted doughnuts, that’s for sure!
A Relaxing Day
It Was Late
But it was 8:30 p.m., and Hunter and Lara were running out of time. Because downtown was the only late-night doughnut shop. Even though they knew the fried dough would be worth it, they had to brave some nightmare traffic.
It Was Late
Looking For A Parking Spot
Hunter and Lara arrived downtown to find the streets congested with cars and pedestrians. And, while they were adamant about realizing their doughnut fantasies, there was one snag: the bakery was scheduled to close at 9 p.m. The couple needed to find a parking spot quickly.
Looking For A Parking Spot
They Found A Spot
Hunter was finally able to find a parking spot on the street ahead of him. It was a rare find, right on the sidewalk, just beyond the doughnut shop. As a result, the couple happily pulled up and began parallel parking.
They Found A Spot
Their Spot Was Stolen
But, just as Lara and Hunter were about to triumph, a “little white Vespa,” as Hunter described it, whizzed past them. Lara slammed on the brakes and stood there watching the Vespa come to a screeching halt. Had their parking spot been snatched in the blink of an eye?
Their Spot Was Stolen
They Were In Shock
Hunter and Lara exchanged shocked looks. When parallel parking, they had been cautious to avoid hitting anything – or worse, anyone. This Vespa had taken their spot in the blink of an eye, which was incredible. Still, they found it hard to believe that someone took their spot like that.
They Were In Shock
They Laughed At Him
Hunter and Lara’s shocked expressions were met with laughter from the two young Vespa-driving women, who were most likely college students. Hunter rolled down his window, irritated and in desperate need of a doughnut. Let’s see what he does next.
They Laughed At Him
First Come First Serve
He called out to the girls on the Vespa, “Excuse me, we were just backing in.” Instead of apologizing, the girls simply laughed and said, “Sorry, first come, first serve!” Anyone who was parking and had their spot taken would be furious.
First Come First Serve
Determined
Lara’s doughnut fantasies had been shattered by the situation. But what about the hunter? He had a completely different plan. He was adamant that he and Lara would get their dessert, regardless of how rude these college girls were…
Determined
Dropping Him Off
Hunter instructed Lara to drop him off in front of the doughnut shop and return five minutes later. He walked into the shop, still hot from his altercation with the Vespa girls.
Dropping Him Off
It Was Filled
Worse yet, Hunter’s fears about the doughnut shop were true. It was crowded, and the normally stocked shelves of doughnuts were quickly depleted. He had no choice but to wait… until he heard a familiar voice.
It Was Filled
The Girls Were Noisy
It came from one of the Vespa girls who was in line right behind him. They were so engrossed in their conversation about doughnuts that they didn’t even notice him. Hunter was already irritated by hearing their voices again.
The Girls Were Noisy
Coming Up With A Plan
What’s the real kicker? Hunter overheard the girls say, “Thank God we got a parking spot,” and then burst out laughing. It was a setback, but Hunter focused on deciding which of the two dozen doughnuts left in the shop to order. Then he was suddenly struck by a sweet inspiration.
Coming Up With A Plan
Buying All The Donuts
Hunter told the employee he wanted two dozen doughnuts, which was exactly how many were left in the shop. He was ecstatic to notice that the Vespa girls were now paying attention. They weren’t pleased!

Saying What He Wanted To Say
The Vespa driver questioned the employee, “What, you’re not even going to save a few for us?” Hunter turned around and said exactly what he’d been waiting to say all along. This moment was definitely sweet for Hunter.

Telling Them ‘First Come First Serve’
“Sorry,” Hunter said. “First come, first serve!” The looks on the girls’ faces were, as Hunter later said, “truly an expression [he will] never forget.” He walked out of the bakery with two dozen doughnuts and a very satisfied mood.

Lara Also Had Something Up Her Sleeve
Hunter waited outside the bakery for Lara to pick him up, but she was nowhere to be found. So, he dialed her number and was surprised to hear her laugh when she told him she was in their parking spot.

What She Did
Is that their parking space? When Hunter arrived at the Vespa, he discovered Lara parked right next to it, blocking it in. When Hunter told her about the doughnuts, she laughed and began to reveal her own plan of vengeance.
What She Did
An Angry Beep
Lara and Hunter were about to finish when they heard an angry beep. The message came from the Vespa, and the girls weren’t expecting to see the couple again after the doughnut incident. Above all, they hadn’t anticipated Lara’s own vengeful scheme.
An Angry Beep
Celebrating With Donuts
Hunter and Lara celebrated their victory with two doughnuts, which they consumed immediately next to the Vespa. After all, it would have been dangerous for Lara to begin driving while holding half of a doughnut! There is no doubt that this is both literally, and metaphorically, a sweet moment for them!
Celebrating With Donuts
Sweet Satisfaction
The couple drove away slowly after a few long minutes of dessert eating. But, unlike the first time, they left their parking spot laughing and brimming with doughnuts… and the sweet satisfaction of getting their revenge towards the rude girls.

Another Similar Story
Of course, a dozen donuts isn’t always required to get your revenge. This Australian mechanic, like Hunter and Lara, was well aware of the situation. The young man, who goes by the handle AngryAussieGam3r on Reddit, had neighbors who were making his life a living hell. It all came to a head one day when he noticed something in his garage that immediately put a damper on his otherwise pleasant mood.

Blocked In
He’d been blocked in by a strange car! AngryAussie waited, hoping the driver would leave the car there while making a quick drop-off, but he was out of luck. He had no choice but to call one of his friends to come to pick him up. Then things got a whole lot worse.
Blocked In
It Kept Showing Up
The rude car continued to appear at random intervals over the next few weeks, preventing AngryAussie from driving. He left a series of polite notes on the perpetrator’s windshield, but no response or change in behavior was ever observed. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing!
It Kept Showing Up
Who The Person Might Be
Frustration is rising. AngryAussie assumed the driver was someone who was frequently inebriated and “forgot” to move his car out of the way. It was a good theory, but he didn’t have any proof of how to track down this serial jerk.
Who The Person Might Be
No Shame
On the internet, AngryAussie found countless examples of people reacting to bad parking jobs. Unfortunately, this car owner appeared to be unconcerned about being shamed. The mechanic would have to devise a new strategy — and quickly.
No Shame
Unpredictable
His obnoxious neighbor was causing him to be late on a regular basis. He had no idea when the car would block him in, so he was forced to walk or hitch a ride without warning. And AngryAussie had a deadline looming that he couldn’t afford to miss.
Unpredictable
An Important Trip
He and his six closest friends didn’t get together very often, but they had a weekend getaway planned that required AngryAussie’s car. He needed to make sure he wasn’t parked in order for the special trip to take place.
An Important Trip
Asking The Building Manager
AngryAussie contacted his building manager, hoping that the proper authorities could handle the situation. Because the man refused to address the problem or even identify the car’s owner, the mechanic decided to take matters into his own hands.
Asking The Building Manager
Doing Things On His Own
AngryAussie called a towing company when he found himself parked in yet again. They would not accept the job because his vehicle was on the third story of the garage. He’d have to take control of the situation. Even if it means doing all of it by himself.
Doing Things On His Own
Looking For Tools
AngryAussie searched his auto shop for a tool to help him get out of this jam not long before his big trip. He smiled, which was unusual in those days, as he found exactly what he was looking for.
Looking For Tools
Blocked Again
AngryAussie and his friends went into his garage on the morning of their big vacation to find the worst-case scenario. The jerk has blocked his car once more! Surprisingly, AngryAussie maintained his composure. He dashed upstairs and snatched up an odd metal contraption.
Blocked Again
His Plan
To his friends, he explained that he had borrowed a vehicle positioning jack. They could easily lift a parked car and move it wherever they wanted with its wheels and hydraulic pump. The friends rubbed their hands together in delight as they maneuvered it into place.
His Plan
A Shady Plan
AngryAussie’s eyes darted around the garage as they boosted the car up. While they weren’t doing anything illegal, such as stealing the car, security guards in the area might not think so. They knew that if the guards saw them, they might be accused of doing something illegal.
A Shady Plan
Coast Is Clear
Fortunately, the coast appeared to be clear. The seven friends grabbed a handhold and began to heave the two-ton car toward a distant, dark corner of the garage as quickly as they could. The plan of AngryAussie was quickly revealed.
Coast Is Clear
An Unmovable Parking
He found a spot at the garage’s far end where they could perfectly fit the obnoxious neighbor’s car between a wall and a pillar. The owner would be able to easily enter and exit the vehicle but moving it would be a different story.
An Unmovable Parking
A Very Tight Space
With only a few inches of space in front and back, the driver would have a difficult time getting the vehicle out. To get it out of the spot, he’d probably have to angle it forward and backward a staggering number of times.
A Very Tight Space
An Extraordinary Valet Service
AngryAussie and his six friends jumped in his car and sped out of the garage, satisfied with their work. They all agreed that they’d never had so much fun parking a car. They weren’t your average valet service.

Checking Up On The Car
Even as he was having a good time, AngryAussie couldn’t help but think about the jerk driver. How long would it take him to locate his automobile? Would he even attempt to move it? When he returned home a few days later, he went straight to the crime scene to double-check.
Checking Up On The Car
It Was Still There
The car, understandably, was still there. However, the unthinkable happened a few days later: AngryAussie never saw the problem car again! Even though the cunning mechanic got his retribution, territorial villains abound, and one Virginia man demonstrated that he would go to any length to keep his land off-limits to the general public.

A Man Named Bryan Tucker
By 2018, Bryan Tucker of Sandston, Virginia, resembled a caricature of an elderly man: he spent his mornings yelling at kids to get off his lawn and figuring out the best way to convey the message.
A Man Named Bryan Tucker
He Lived Near A Bus Stop
Bryan, you see, lived directly across from a bus stop where young children awaited a ride to elementary school. Those kids played loudly in his well-kept yard, and worse, they frequently left trash behind. This annoyed him deeply.
He Lived Near A Bus Stop
They Didn’t Respect His Land
Bryan said, “They don’t respect other peoples’ land.” As a result, he contacted the county, and “they refused to do anything about it. They said it was my responsibility if the kids get hurt on my land.”
They Didn’t Respect His Land
He Put Up Signs
As a result, Bryan erected no-trespassing signs. On his property, he installed cameras. He was constantly reminding the kids to stay off his lawn. He even requested that the parents keep their children off the lawn. Nothing seemed to work.
He Put Up Signs
He Had An Idea
With visions of liability lawsuits dancing in his head as the new school year approached, Bryan devised a plan he hoped would finally put an end to the trespassing problem. Can you guess what his solution was?
He Had An Idea
He Put Fences
Parents bringing their children to the bus stop on the first day of the school noticed a new addition to Bryan’s home: a fence that wrapped all the way around his yard. The newly erected fence was then touched by a parent…
He Put Fences
A Shock!
…and they were shocked! The parent understood the new addition to Bryan’s yard — an electric fence! Shaking his hand from the sting of the shock, the parent understood the new addition to Bryan’s yard — an electric fence! He wasn’t the only one who noticed.
A Shock!
They Weren’t Pleased With It
A neighbor said, “My daughter walked out and said ‘he’s got a fence up.'” They continued, “Then someone said it was electric and I said ‘whoa no!’ If something happens to one of those kids they’re going to have a lot of angry parents.”
They Weren’t Pleased With It
Banding Together
Local parents united in their displeasure, but each parent was irritated by a different aspect of Bryan’s retaliation. Bryan’s failure to post a warning sign, for example, irritated concerned parent Wayne Milby. Let’s hear what they had to say regarding the electric fence.
Banding Together
He Put Warning Signs
Bryan, on the other hand, demonstrated to news crews that there was, in fact, a sign… 15 yards away from the bus stop. “Solar Intellishock” was slapped on the battery that powered the fence. It was covered in cattle pictures.
He Put Warning Signs
It Sent The Wrong Message
While the shock was not painful, it sent the wrong message, according to other parents. “I understood his concern,” one neighbor, below, said. “I just don’t think he understood the neighbors’ concerns.”
It Sent The Wrong Message
An Alternate Solution
As one parent put it: “The first day of school, really? C’mon now.” Because of the timing, the fence came across as more malicious than a genuine safety measure. As a result, Bryan’s next-door neighbor Wayne proposed an alternative…
An Alternate Solution
A Regular Fence
“You know, a regular fence,” According to Wayne, it would have probably worked just fine. Neighbors were so fed up with Bryan’s fence that they called the county police at 9:15 a.m. that day.
A Regular Fence
Inspecting The Fence
Henrico County Public Works Director Steve Yob came to Bryan’s house the same day to inspect the fence and measure the yard. However, if the fence was on Bryan’s land, it was perfectly legal.
Inspecting The Fence
Their Findings
What are Steve’s findings? Engineers took measurements and conducted research, according to him: “…and [Bryan’s] yard starts further off the road from where the fence is. Where that fence was put is clearly county right-of-way.” In other words…

Taking It Down
Because the fence was not technically on his property, Bryan had to demolish it. He did so without resistance. He “made a mistake and offered to correct it,” Steve said. However, Bryan definitely didn’t want to go down without putting up a fight.
Taking It Down
An Important Conversation
Bryan had not expected the fence to cause such outrage among parents and the community as a whole. But he was pleased that the fence sparked “an important conversation,” as he put it.
An Important Conversation
Getting His Message Across
Bryan informed the local media, “The message has gotten across, I’m pretty sure, to everybody.” He continued, “It’s all over social media. Neighbors are driving by, parents are posting and talking about it.” He was surprised with how it all turned out.
Getting His Message Across
What He Hopes
Bryan may have removed the fence permanently or simply moved it back, but the parents hoped he’d follow in the footsteps of the previous tenant and simply put out a trash can for the kids.
What He Hopes
His Voice Can Take A Rest
In any case, now that the word is out, Bryan can take a break from yelling at kids to get off his lawn! Also, hopefully, the neighborhood kids will be able to get to school without being shocked!
