This Redditor shared her first-hand accounts of a great revenge story she was a part of. But you won’t be able to guess who’s the main star of this petty revenge!
Deeded Parking Spaces
OP (Original Poster) worked at a place with a deeded parking garage, with each space owned by one of the residents.
The problem is that there was a vast difference between the number of parking spots and the number of units. OP shared that there were only 75 spots and 300 units.
No Parking Spot?
She explained that if you didn’t own a deeded parking space, you had to get a permit to park your car on the street. Another option would be to find a parking garage somewhere in the neighborhood.
Meet Granny and the Grifting Couple
There’s a sweet, old lady OP called Granny, who owned a Mini Cooper and had her own deeded parking space.
On the flip side, a couple that rented one of the units didn’t have their own parking slot. However, they had the audacity to “plant their economy car” in Granny’s spot.
Park Somewhere Else!
When Granny complained and asked the couple to move their car, the renters would say they were “entitled” to the spot. They added that because there were so many empty parking spaces, Granny “could park somewhere else.”
OP didn’t know what they didn’t understand about the concept of a “deeded parking” slot.
Changing Her Demeanor
Granny let the couple be for some time, and OP said it continued until “the sweet old lady decided to be not-so-sweet.”
One day, Granny pulled her car in front of the couple’s car and parked bumper to bumper, trapping them in! OP added, “She put a note on their car saying, ‘Parking in this space is $150 a day. Please, leave a check with the concierge.’”
Verbal Attacks
Because of this, the couple showed up at OP’s desk, “b*******” about their car being blocked by Granny’s vehicle. They also expected OP to have Granny’s car towed!
So, OP had to explain what “deeded parking” meant and that OP couldn’t tow Granny’s car, just like how she couldn’t rearrange the furniture in their apartment. She said, “It’s her land; she owns it. You abandoned your car on her property; talk to Granny.”
Granny, SOS!
Twenty minutes had passed, and the couple hadn’t stopped “b*******,” so OP had no choice other than to call Granny, even if it was so early in the morning.
Granny came down to the desk “in her housecoat and slippers with her dog in tow.”
Move Your Car, Please!
The couple started begging Granny to move her car so they could get out. However, Granny just reiterated what she had left on the note. She told them it would cost them $150 and that they must leave the money with the concierge.
More Arguments Ensued
The couple continued “b*******” again, and Granny told them it would now cost them an additional $50 because they woke her up in the morning, claiming there was an emergency.
Then, the exasperated couple asked Granny how long it would be before she left the garage.
I’m Retired!
In this case, Granny had the upper hand!
She said, “Dearies, I’m retired. I’ll leave my spot when I’m ready. And the price just went up to $150 a day, plus $50 for waking me—and that will be in cash. Leave the envelope with the concierge. I’m walking my dog, and I’ll move my car when I have your rental fee in hand.”
Never Again
Since that day, the couple never parked their car in Granny’s spot again. As a bonus, Granny even got paid for it!
News Goes Around
Also, because the couple “b******” so much, word got around about what had happened. With that, OP didn’t have to deal with any other similar issues for another two years!
Redditors’ Reactions
Redditors applauded Granny for how she handled everything.
One said, “That’s glorious. Go, Granny!” Another replied, “People underestimate how much retired people can care about things.” One Redditor also aspired to be someone like Granny in the future, saying, “If I ever grow old, I aspire to have as few f**** as Granny.”
Brings Back Memories!
One user also exclaimed that what Granny did was exactly how his dad would’ve dealt with a similar issue.
“This level of pettiness would so have been my dad. Then he’d have left his car there for a week just to really nail home the point. He’s a grouchy, old man with absolutely no f**** left to give, and I love him for it,” shared one Redditor.
Do you love how Granny handled everything? Would you have done it differently?
