This is pretty terrible. Totally screwing up my work schedule. Thankfully I didn't have any meetings this morning.  Currently waiting for the tow truck.

That looks like a fairly easy car to gain access to the inside of in order to shift it into neutral and give it a push. Heck maybe he didn't even lock it (guessing you probably already tried the doors though).

Wheel dollies and a nice jack could turn this into a fun morning for the guy. There are all sorts of reasons it'd be a bad idea, but I'd like to imagine the confusion they would get from finding their car parked in between two close trees/poles or something else even more fun.

remove the schrader valve cores from the tires before the towtruck comes. When I lived in an apt, we had assigned spots. Some rear end in a top hat's girlfriend would always park in mine. Speaking to the building management never did anything, though they did give me a bunch of "imma tow your poo poo" stickers. didnt make any difference. I started removing her schrader valves and suddenly, she got the point and never did it again.

They had the audacity to say they could fix it for me, for 20 bucks. I'm like, no thanks guys, I'll get Discount to fix it free where I have my warranty.

I even asked the cop if it'd be ok to just move the car back a few feet so I can get out, but they had to tow it. I tried not to be a dick, but they made me almost two hours late to work.

You did more than enough to try to solve the problem. I wouldn't have done that much. If you park and block a driveway and just leave it there, then you're getting a tow truck called on you. There was only one dickhead in this situation, and wasn't you.

I wouldn't have even tried to find the owner, that's such an inconsiderate thing to do they deserve to shell out a few hundred bucks in tow fees.

If you backed into that thing in an old pickup at full throttle there's no way a court of law would convict you.

These guys are amazing and have the most enormous balls of all time, but holy poo poo are the comments sections on these videos terrible. In one of them a man literally tries to bash the sticker dude's head in with a tire iron and all the comments are "once again women prove that they are the worst and cuntiest". Really makes me appreciate that our worst problems here are dicks that don't signal and people who double-park their trucks.

Having repaired the lovely ignition switch on that era of Maxima they are shockingly easy to start without a key. Like a few minutes with a Philips screwdriver and you're in business.

nitrogen posted:remove the schrader valve cores from the tires before the towtruck comes. I never removed the valve, but got some revenge on lovely/illegal parking by using a little pebble inside the screw-on cap for the valve. Puts just enough pressure on it to start it leaking so their tires are good and flat by morning. Not only do they get it towed, but then spend extra money having the tires checked out

This is where it's great to have a redneck friend of less than stellar intelligence living in the apartment. The richbitch kids on the third floor of the triple decker a friend lived in in college consistently parked their brand new BMWs in front of everyone else's cars, blocking us in, when their lease didn't even allow them to park in the driveway since we got it. Eventually one of my friend's roommates, who owned an incredibly broken dodge 2500 pickup, got so fed up with being parked in that he drove across the lawn and a shrub with it, then used a tow strap to drag their BMW out of the driveway and down the street, still in park. He couldn't get it into a parking space so he simply left it there in the middle of the road. They got the hint. Might not have been legal, at all, but it certainly solved the problem and we weren't going to stop him. I didn't actually live there, but I probably spent more time at that apartment than I did in my own.

Why are you people loving with someone's car? Towing them is the right thing to do, and the only thing to do, unless you can easily let them know that they are blocking you, resolving the situation like a couple of adults. Some people are inconsiderate, some lack spacial awareness, some are assholes, and some are just really, really stupid. Some people are many or all of these things. Some are none. Don't gently caress with other people's property. It's not yours, it's not your right to be judge, jury, and executioner because someone parked in front of your driveway, or in your parking space, or over the lines. Jesus.

When someone did that to me, I just towed the car a few feet along so it was clear of the drive entrance. I'm not sure they even noticed I'd done it when they returned.
