Neighbors Keep Parking In Our Lot So I Froze Them Out - Reddit Stories

[@cnow82]

Parking in Chicago is insane. No way they thought it was ok to park there. They deserved it!

[@ScooterBond1970]

Agree. They were told they could park there... By someone they should have known had no authority to grant such permission. I was actually reminded of an old story where a carpool driver kept driving up into OP's yard and hitting a decorative barrel. So OP took the barrel and filled it up with water, in the dead of Canadian winter, let it solidify over the weekend, and put it out Sunday night. Guy smashed his car, called the cops then had to explain how he kept intentionally driving up onto private property to destroy it.

Hey don’t mess our parking spots in winter here in the upper Midwest. We don’t play with that shit here. When it gets down to negative 20-30’s regularly and it’s pure hell getting our cars ready then steal our spots. You’re lucky we just ice your car out and not get more creative and destructive showing our displeasure.

Story 4: The fact that OP's grandma told OP about the premature birth of his brother after the first shaming attempt by the parents shows that she's just as sick and tired of them shaming as well

That last story, every time I hear it, I get angry at those "parents". A sick dog? Really? And not even YOUR dog? I mean, I loved my cat when I had her, but come on. I hope he makes multiple copies and stores them on every electronic device he owns. Then, once a year on his wedding anniversary, he can upload it onto all his social media and tag his parents and sister. It's the least they deserve.

I was supposed to be able to see my daughter for six weeks each summer. (I was supposed to have every other weekend too, but her mother took her out of state, and Oregon courts suck.) One summer my daughter went back after two weeks because her new boyfriend's grandmother got sick. When my mom (her grandmother) was dying, she didn't come. She didn't even call. I've decided to write her out of my will and the family trust.

[@peterhobson3262]

@@cadence1151 A baby born prematurely would be very small. Average weight for a boy baby at a normal birth is around 7½ pounds, so there's no way a 9 pound baby could be premature. Mom was heavily pregnant at the wedding, which means she and Dad did the horizontal tango several months before they were married. The parents may have hidden this oops on their part by keeping visitors away from the baby until he was several months old and would seem a reasonable size for a baby of that age.

Last Story: Honestly, even if the sister has some sort of condition, the parents could have easily split up. One could have taken care of the sister and the other could have gone to the wedding. It's not ideal, but Emergencies happen. Considering they missed multiple milestones growing up, I'm guessing the sister is just the golden child. The BFF wins the gold medal for cheering up his friend.

[@bonnieelaine8042]

Look you have a good point but I'd like to respectfully disagree. They knew about this wedding in advance. If she has a condition they should have made sure they have a back up safe person to spend time with her. Also, her dog being sick and her being upset is not an emergency.

[@karimuffin]

@@bonnieelaine8042 I was assuming the worst case scenario with the dog tbh. If it was sick enough to be put down then I'd consider it an emergency. Regardless, the parents obviously favor the sister, and are the AHs in this scenario no matter what.

@@bonnieelaine8042 since the sister pulls this shit all the time, I bet her dog wasn’t sick or she fed them something to make them appear sick. There is no way she suddenly has her life blow up on every big event in OP’s life and needs mommy and daddy both there for her, she is the problem and is a liar I guarantee at this point. Mommy and daddy have their golden child and placed her dog ahead of the son….no excuse. Random real coincidence, our 15 yr old family dog did pass away the day before my sisters wedding. We all went and didn’t tell her until she came back from her honeymoon because we knew she loved him as well. We were sad but we put that aside to be there for my sister on the biggest day of her life trust far. That’s what you do for family, not make up excuses. I would say go no contact. Parents are more worried about the sister/dog and image than the son. No reason to have them in his life to continue to hurt him and eventually hurt and disappoint his kids, because they will. Protect those future kids now and cut ties. They won’t miss grandparents they never knew and won’t be made to feel less than like their dad when sisters dog had puppies🙄

My Mother had a couple of aunts who were just SURE that my Mother was quick to marry my Father because she was already "in a family way."

[@AndyyWithAY]

Depending on how severe the illness was, sis might get a pass for the sick dog. No way the parents would. Her crying seems manipulative and the we'll make it up to you feels hollow. I get the idea she's the golden child and everyone is used to OP taking it. Bestie is the MVP

[@nairbvel]

I hope that wedding video NEVER comes down, regardless of OP's sister having a condition or not. He got screwed over his entire life by his parents, they need to find some way to make up for EVERY major life event they missed because his sister "had a bad day at work," "didn't want to go out," or whatever. Obviously, that's not possible -- so the video stays up as deserved.

[@jimdob6528]

Last story reminds me of an airman I met while on deployment. His father and mother were both into finances/money management for huge companies and they ultimately valued money above their own 4 kids. He cut them off after they missed his wedding and told them it would cost X amount of money to buy themselves back into low contact and then put pay scales after that to meet his wife or their grandchildren. His exact response to my wtf comment was “well to them money is love and if they want to show they love me then they need to express it in their own love language.” I don’t think they ever payed up so he is happy living his own life without them.

Story 5: Yeah, I'm on OP's side. Even if his sister has some kind of special needs, it sounds like bad excuses for missing so many big moments in his life. Months of notice, & then the sister's dog just happens to be sick that day?!? Fine. Sister can take her dog to the vet while the parents go to the wedding!!!! A sibling you're not close to missing the wedding really isn't a big deal, but your parents missing it is a big enough deal that even work associates & such would notice!!

[@itsjustmaddisen]

The parents just sound lazy af and can only be bothered when it's the sister. Even if she had something going on, one of the parents could have stayed, gotten a family member to help or hired someone. If they really wanted to be there, they would have. I hope OP exposes them on social media because they're all quite disgusting trying to make OP look bad for something THEY did and chose. It's called consequences.

[@lexiburrows8127]

I would doubt there was anything wrong with her. One excuse mentioned before was that the Sister 'had a bad day at work.' That does NOT suggest any kind of debilitating condition if she was able to be employed.

Story 1 play stupid games win stupid prizes. Always look for signs when you park. Story 2 same Story 3 my oldest brother was born 3 1/2 months after my parents were married. He weighed in at 8 and a half pounds. My mother hated me, her youngest for several reasons. One of those was was calling her out on that particular thing. I was 8 and my brothers were 11 and 12. Guess I blind sided all of them while I openly did the math over dinner after being berated all day. My father sheepishly admitted to it and the monster demanded to know who told me. I said they did. It was their anniversary, my brother was born 3 1/2 months later. He was way bigger than any premie I ever saw. Our neighbors had twins born 2 months early, they were only a couple of pounds. I got beat pretty hard for that and grounded for a year. I might have let it slide if she had just let it go… oops, her bad. Made it a point to knock her off her high horse every time she tried to dog me in public and family gatherings. Pay backs, gotta love ‘em! 😂 Story 4 don’t take the video down, there’s no excuses for his parents and sister’s behavior.

[@JW-vd4il]

Sorry you had a mother like that but glad you got some payback! I think you'll like my story, too. Growing up, of course we knew our parent's anniversay date. I'm oldest and when I was a teenager I realized my birthday was a suspicious 9 months + 1 week after their "anniversary." Oh, yeah... They also supposedly eloped and there were NO photos or any mementos from their wedding. This is NOT like my Mom, AT ALL. Meanwhile, parents had divorced when I was in middle school. Finally when I was in my 40s I asked my Dad if they "had to" get married. My Dad laughed so hard I knew immediately it was true. Then he asked, "How'd you figure that out?" and I replied "Because I CAN COUNT!" My Dad has since passed. Never told my Mom I know. We are LC for other reasons but still not bad enough for me to throw that in her face. I know she'd hate it that I know. And you know I like just knowing, though!! 😁 Still curious about their real wedding date; I'll look it up in public records when I'm in the mood for another laugh. 😂

@@impishrebel5969 I live in Canada on the north shore of Lake Erie. We get ice storms every year where your house, car etc gets encased in ice. It doesn’t hurt the car. All OP did was make it difficult for the trespassers to leave before the tow trucks showed up. The fact that the police laughed and ticketed the vehicle owners shows no malicious or permanent damage occurred to the vehicles. If OP had poured something like brake fluid on them and ruined the paint, that would be different. It was ice, it melts. I can guarantee that none of the trespassers were concerned that the owners and tenants couldn’t use their parking spots.

I've heard the last story multiple times before, and each time, it makes me smile to know OP has people in their life, who love them enough to be angry on their behalf, after seeing the parents hurt them on yet another special day in their life. The best friend gets my respect for doing this, and the parents deserve to be named and shamed after a lifetime of letting OP down. There is no way to "make up" for a lifetime of neglect, especially when the parents are in denial about their actions being a problem to begin with. And no, even if the sister had a condition, it's still no excuse to miss out on their other kid's milestones, because she "didn't feel like going out" or "her dog is sick." Hire a babysitter/enlist a relative to mind her/find alternative care/scold her to get off her ass and attend that graduation, basket ball game, and wedding anyway, instead of making excuses. Even if you're ND, there is no excuse for deliberately pitching a fit on the day your sibling is the center of attention instead of you, repeatedly, and neither is there an excuse for enabling that bratty behavior for years on end.

[@themayhemofmadness7038]

The other building owner, who told them to park there, may have lied to them and either said he owned that specific parking lot or that he was friends with the owners and got permission for them to ignore the signs and park there. He sounds like someone who’d do that. Not saying that the icing wasn’t deserved (it would have definitely gotten around via word of mouth and I doubt any of the other guy’s friends would believe him about parking there after that). Just saying that if it was something like that, and they’d been lied to about permission, etc., that the owners of the towed cars sued the idiot AH who told them to park there, and that he had to pay all towing fees himself, out of pocket. If they did see the signs and had not been told to ignore said signs, then the towing fees should definitely be on the car owners. Either way, OP is in the clear, imo.

[@kichikitsu]

​@@themayhemofmadness7038 nah. OP deliberately sprayed mechanisms that could seriously get fucked up from the ice. that automatically moves him from "justified revenge" to "asshole." not everyone can afford unexpected repairs (especially alongside ticket & towing fees) to their cars just bc they got fucked over by their friend and OP.

[@Sherwoody]

Lock de-icer or WD-40 would help to free the door locks. Chipping the ice off the cars would be time consuming and annoying, but starting the car and cranking up the heat will help the ice to loosen up. It’s slow, but doable in an hour or so. The people who got their vehicle towed could sue the building owner that told them to park there. There were clearly marked no parking signs and the onus is on the vehicle owners.

Once is a coincidence, twice is a bit suspicious, three plus times is a pattern. I do not trust the sister to not be doing this on purpose and the parents should be ashamed for a pattern of coddling their golden child while throwing their other one to the side. Good on OP keeping it up. Let others see that this is how they treat their children and see how little it takes for them to abandon him

If I had parents like the ones in the last story, they would get a donation on their behalf to a dog shelter for Christmas every year. I would tell them I know how important dog’s happiness is to them. It would be a win/win. They know you will never let it go or forgive them, and their selfish asses get nothing while dogs get taken care of. I wouldn’t get the sister anything but therapy sessions or books for narcissistic people. If they have a problem with any of it, aka owning up to how they hurt me with the choices they made, no contact. My parents died when I was young. I know they would’ve done anything to walk me down the isle and have a dance with me. So sad for the parents that take that for granted when so many of us would give anything for one more moment.

I remember that last post when it came out. Every person should have someone like that best man in their lives. I have endeavored to be that person for my bff and vice versa

[@lauralfreeberg2179]

My old boss did the same thing, putting building and home improvements with the same company and at the same time. She used that to take it all off her taxes. She was the owner, operator of it, so not fired

[@sandrasawyer5523]

Please do Choosing Beggars! I love those

[@kevinnaranek6649]

Mention of the "Peter Principle" (People rise in an enterprise/organization to their level of incompetence and then stagnate.) I found this didn't always work in the government agency I worked for. Some such people were promoted to some higher position where they could do less damage.

[@OZARKMOON1960]

Last story - OP is NTA and I do not care one lick if the sister has some kind of problem that is long-lasting or not. These people are horrible parents and the really sad thing is THEY KNOW THEY ARE! Mom is 'so embarrassed she cannot leave the hose' and dad says they will 'make it up to' OP. Yeah right, we all know that is all garden fertilizer and my suspicion is Sister knows exactly what she is doing to keep the focus on her no matter what good things are going on in OP's life. I wish him happy marriage and just do not even bother (if you plan on having little ones) inviting them to a shower or to meet their grandkids.

[@poesraven4540]

I listen on the daily and do enjoy it when you mix it up a bit. Happy vacation!!

[@schwagecko5589]

Really enjoyed the short story format. It's nice to have something like that once in a while. Hope you're having a good holiday Mark

[@Frazoor]

S5- unless the sister is literally on her death bed there's no excuse for missing your son's wedding FFS!

[@lienemeid]

My mother was also a very premature chunky baby, I remember doing the maths as a child in front of my (lovely) grandfather who immediately started begging me not to mention a word to my (lovely but a Hyacinth Bucket-esque) grandmother. To this date I think she believes she got away with my mother being a 6-month early baby, bless her 😂

[@jennilynne1977]

I hope everyone is having a great day/afternoon/night! Peace ☮️, hugs 🤗 and love 😘!

[@MrNemitri]

I have never laugh as much as I did with the last story, if this ever happened, kuddos to the jokester for making the family face reality!

[@psychoniner]

Story 2: I totally get where this guy was coming from. Everyone that knows me, knows I am a Die Hard Niners fan. That would have been an experience of a life time. Bang Bang Niner Gang!

[@gigga143]

S1: that was fantastic!!! listening to that story was so satisfying. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@hodgeelmwood8677]

First story, I get why OP was pissed off, but coating the ground in the parking lot with ice could've ended badly if someone slipped on the ice and got hurt. Lawsuit waiting to happen, not to mention that parking where you don't belong is wrong but doesn't mean they deserve to break a leg or something.

[@aconvowithcrissee222]

Love listening to you tell stories btw mark ur voice is very soothing

[@DreamyDuskywing]

I really enjoyed this mix of sib reddit stories! Thanks Mark!

[@cynthiaejiogu8442]

As a born and bred 49er fan here in Northern California to find out, I could’ve gone to the Super Bowl even if we lost, I would put out a contract on the box person. That’s how we feel about our Niners.

[@bunnyslippers191]

The story with the 9 pound 4 months premature oldest sibling: Yay for Granny! When my youngest cousin's gf got pregnant and they got married (53 years ago and they're still together) my mom was all, "This is going to kill Mama (my grandmother). I asked why was it going to kill Grandma? Surely Grandma was old enough to have known of plenty of 8 pound babies born only 7 months after their parents married. It happens. Well, Mom went on a bit about how Grandma was completely intolerant of that sort of thing, etc. Well, decades later that same cousin checked the courthouse records and found out exactly when Grandma and Grandpa got married while doing genealogy research. Apparently Grandma had said some things to both Cousin and Cousin's Wife (a darling person) that weren't too accepting of the fact Cousin's Wife was pregnant when they got married, so Cousin wanted revenge. He oh so innocently asked Grandma the date she and Grandpa got married "to save me the trouble of going to the courthouse and looking through all those records. For some reason Dad (my uncle, Grandma and Grandpa's oldest child) can't remember." Grandma refused. She kept refusing and refusing until Cousin told her the exact day, month, and year of the marriage and told her she had been a hypocrite to say what she said to Cousin's Wife. Then he left. Grandma and Grandpa were married the very end of January and Uncle was born, a big, healthy, full term baby the first week of August, only 6 months and two weeks after the marriage. Not only that, the marriage took place 4 months before Grandma turned 16. Grandpa was 25 when married, so a 25 year old man got a 15 year old girl pregnant and had to marry her. They never celebrated any of their wedding anniversaries and never told their 4 children the day or date of their wedding. "They just didn't care to spend the money on a big celebration." No one knew until Cousin found it in the courthouse records after his own kids were adults.

[@fhuber7507]

4... That video gets to be reposted every year for OP's anniversary.... until A$$HAT parents figure out how to "make up" missing the wedding. Since it's impossible to make up for that and the excuse "sissy's dog got sick and... that's more important" shows 100% golden child sis and parental neglect FOR OP'S WHOLE LIFE. It's obvious this video will get reposted until A$$HAT parents AND sissy are dead.

[@1tiptip187]

Someone lost a lot of friends that new years. I can't imagine anyoe was happy to come out to their cars looking like Jack Frost failed anger management class.

[@Hogwarts_dropoutt]

Story 4: even if the sister has a condition of some sort it’s not an excuse for both of the parents to miss every milestone in their sons life. I grew up with a sister with special needs, she needs supervision 24/7 and can’t attend certain events because is she can’t handle it mentally. My mom or dad always made it to every single thing they needed to be at for me, even after their separation they worked together to be there for us both. Maybe I’m just lucky with my parents, but OPs parents acts like they only have one child that matters!

[@colleens1107]

Story one: laughs in petty 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@michamocha]

Last story: NTA. Im sorry but whether ths sister had a condition or not is irrelevant. They had two kids, not one. They chose to care more about his sister than him and that even followed them up into adulthood. Like those comments need to bffr. Missing their son's _wedding_ over the sister being upset about her late dog? Trust me, I understand that losing a pet is hard and if the sister couldn't attend because she wasn't in the best state of mind, cool. Whatever. But there was no reason for the parents to miss as well lmao. They're not even sorry that he's hurt, just embarrassed that their crappy behavior was shared with everyone they know.

[@evanundefined430]

S2: It's common in many industries to have a "no gifts" policy for their employees. It creates a conflict of interest (or at least the illusion of one if the employee actually has integrity) where the employee might start acting in the gifter's best interest instead of the employer's because they stand to benefit personally from doing so. If that were the case here and D-headPartner had merely forced OP to return the tickets, it would have been unfortunate but understandable. What he ended up doing was absolute scumbaggery. A pity the gifting client didn't reach out to the company of the people who were ultimately given the tickets. That client likely wouldn't have done anything, but it would have been even more devastating to D-headPartner's reputation in the industry.

[@creativeone298]

love the looks into other subreddits from time to time 😊

[@dinaashford-more1172]

Last story: the sister is the golden child! Missing every milestone of OP just to cater to their golden child is just unforgivable to OP’s. OP is definitely not the AH, his sperm and egg donor and entitled sister are the AHs. I would not be surprised if OP goes NC with them.

[@clairebear-96]

Mark you should definitely do a choosing beggars video!!

[@sgtjarhead99]

I'd be completely irate if someone gave away my super bowl tickets.

[@hvymax]

Bravo OP. Putting Hypocrites in their place.

[@AndyyWithAY]

Mark's getting cheeky with all these neighbor stories 🤣🤣

[@danrossell6375]

" I was told I could park here". Then I guess you'll be taking that up with them won't you?

[@zotaninoron3548]

Third story is literally embezzlement.

[@esme841]

Thanks for the random stories it was greatXxX

[@LynneLongman]

Parking story is brilliant revenge.

[@elinmattsson3014]

I love hearing these kind of stories as well! Especially when we can hear in your voice, Mark, that you love them too!

[@Windxchild]

Yessss, more Choosing Beggars!

[@GeorgeGiann]

Last story: The sister can absolutely have no condition that manifests only in her brother’s big moments! let’s be realistic here…!

[@matttillman7430]

03:11 For those saying that the persons ticketed were the victims, because they were TOLD to park there, regardless of the signs saying parking was prohibited. That's GOOD, because it means they will be turning against the idiot who told them to park there, knowing he had no power to permit parking there and was opening them all to the tickets and towing fees they did face. Some will assuredly want to be reimbursed.

[@gelibeanzcantrell7192]

i love the randomness 😊

[@dillongage]

Story 5: IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT CONDITION OPS SISTER HAS. I am SO sick of people using mentao health issues to excuse neglect and abuse.

[@danishaussie63]

S4:I remember the day many years ago when I worked out mum was pregnant when she got married. She was having a conversation about what year her and dad got married etc, then way down the line, she said something about my oldest brother when he was born which happened to be the same year they got married. I said 'MUMMMMM, you pregnant when you got married(I was laughing), and she embarrassed and quietly blushed and said yes. Turns out, one our 'family traditions' was a lot were pregnant when they got married and Im talking about rich fancy pants people that lived ages ago(1800's-1900's) and always one or 2 that copped it lol. It doesnt matter what class of person you are, this happens so many times. I have however, noticed a lot of people who are right up into the 'rules before marriage' are the worst offenders of getting pregnant while not married and that they were actually quite young when THEY had babies, and then they are the ones sprouting all the things you CANT do lol.

[@dancingonthe3dge]

As a fellow Chicagoan I cackled at this!

[@immortalsofar5314]

So if "stealing company time" is a thing, what about unpaid overtime?

[@TheFoodGuideOfL]

Hey Mark, feel free to go to other subreddits and read different stories from time to time. The videos are just as enjoyable, imo :)

[@catharsismemory]

There was a sign, they chose to ignore it and got towed.

[@gigga143]

S4: He should never take the video down. His parents have failed him for every big moment of his life and chosen his sister time and time again. The only reason golden child sister and horrible mother are crying is because they’ve been exposed for the awful people they are to everyone. if i was OP i’d focus on my spouse and the new family i have now and my friends who showed up, and go LC to NC with the parents and sister, not like it should be that much to them since they don’t show up anyways.

[@urskaska]

last story: did i miss something, like sister being handicapped? blind, on wheelchair, some other developement thing?

[@islandlivin808]

Love the pro revenge and malicious compliance stories!😂

[@JustAnotherBuckyLover]

I loved this video - and I'd definitely love to listen to some Choosing Beggers, I Don't Work Here Lady or even Tales from Tech Support/Front Desk as well! It's all good for when I'm knitting, crocheting or (like right now) dealing with kidney stones. >.
