Let’s face it, some people act rudely in public, which can be very frustrating.

You know, like when a person holds up a grocery line because they’re on a phone call, or someone illegally parks in a handicapped space.

Seriously, where’s the respect?

A YouTube user named “sobdale” was sick and tired of strangers being inconsiderate with their parking.

Day after day he would watch people block his church’s driveway in order to make a run into Starbucks.

Instead of parking in the large parking lot, they would block the driveway saying, “I’ll just be a minute.”

He explained:

“I love coffee just as much or possibly more than you do as evidenced by the fact that I already got mine, but you wait until the morning rush at the Starbucks because you are an “average” or “unremarkable” d-bag who parking in my church’s driveway at a time when people might be coming and going,”

He tried to handle the situation on his own.

“I’ve asked folks like you several times not to do this and just use the gigantic parking lot that you are currently blocking the entrances of but I always get the ‘I’ll just be a minute.”

This would be the day that he actually did something about it…

The sweetest revenge

One day, a stranger drove up and blocked the spot, just like what always happens.

But this time, sobdale would give him a hard time about it and a taste of their own medicine.

He went inside his home to prepare.

“Now mind you that I had enough time to change my clothes and get a chair and my smokes and a book and a camera and a tripod and my own cup of coffee and this turkey dog still ain’t here yet,” he recalls.

He had the perfect plan.

Sobdale decided that he would grab a chair, get cozy with a cup of coffee and a book and block the driver, aka turkey dog, from being able to get out of the illegal parking space.

Eventually, the driver came out and looks right at sobdale who is blocking his vehicle, yet he says nothing and gets in.

“Turkey dog asked if I was staying,” sobdale explains. “I told him I’ll just be a minute.”

Instead of trying to hurry though – sobdale hilariously takes his time.

He reads, smokes a cigarette, and drinks his coffee with no consideration for the guy sitting in his vehicle. It’s the perfect revenge!

Sobdale videotaped the entire thing and even wrote his own song inspired by the incident that serves as the video’s background.

“So, I honestly don’t think it is too much to ask for that you park in such a way that allows a handicapped entrance to be used or for an emergency vehicle to be able to enter through the driveway or possibly in such a way that indicated that I had permission from you to leave my own residence and maybe go to work or something I know I’m being obnoxious here but at least I’m trying to get a chuckle about of it,” sobdale writes.

Sobdale spoke with the driver at the end and shared that the guy was a “pretty good sport” about the situation.

Something tells me he won’t be parking in that spot again – and hopefully, will practice more common courtesy in the future.
