'Entitled' school-run mum blocks man's driveway - and his revenge leaves her 'furious'

A man got sweet revenge on a mum who blocked his driveway whilst doing the school run, and has been praised online. Explaining on Reddit, the man tried asking her to move at first but she refused.

In his full Reddit post, he wrote: "I live next to a school and I've had parents back up into my driveway to wait for their children. If I'm not going anywhere I don't mind, no harm no foul. One day I came home to find a woman in my driveway. I got out of my car and asked her to please pull out for a second so I could pull in and then you can back up where you were. She said I will only be a few minutes. I said ma'am I live here, and I'd like to get into my garage."

He then explained that he lives on a narrow street, and with parents parked on both sides to pick up their children only one car can pass at a time. He added: "I told her that I cannot wait here a 'few' minutes because I'm blocking traffic!"

Responding, the mum told him she would be 'moving in a bit'. That's when he decided to get his revenge by parking his car behind her vehicle, effectively blocking her in. "I then parked perpendicular to her vehicle, blocking my own driveway and her vehicle. As I walked by I told her I really have to use the bathroom and have stomach cramps," he explained to Reddit users.

"The look on her face after she realised what was happening was priceless," he adds, reports Wales Online. Moments later, he heard a car honking and his doorbell ringing. It was a young boy asking when he would be leaving, but he was still in no rush to move his car.

Explaining what happened next, he said: "By the time I came out a 'few' more minutes later, all the vehicles and students were gone. I very slowly walked past her car avoiding eye contact and got into my car. I adjusted the mirror, moved the car seat forward then back slowly, started the car and moved my car forward slowly.

"All I heard was the tyres screeching and the car horn honking as she left. Her windows were rolled up so I can only assume the little boy got an earful of nice words as she was leaving. My neighbours were wondering what was going on with all the honking. When I explained they said, 'oh yeah, that's what we kinda figured'."

Reddit users have praised his actions, with one commenting: "That's almost perfect! The only thing I would have changed is instead of avoiding eye contact I would have maintained eye contact with Karen as much as possible." Another added: "Love this! I have a similar issue in my neighbourhood, although thankfully no one has parked in any of the driveways yet."

One commentator on Reddit shared: "I live right next door to a giant high school with over 1,500 students. Not counting facility. I have a big long driveway and during graduation season all the other local schools pay to use the high school field. Like the whole last three weeks of May it's hard to find a spot. This year I'm thinking of selling parking spots [for] $5. I could fit four cars in my driveway. Lol."

Another humorously shared: "I live across from a school as well and School run mothers are the worst people to deal with. I had a woman yell 'I'm a mother!' I replied 'you have that half right' and she freaked out."
