Always carry a box of nails in your car. Then, when you see this, place it just under his tire. So when he backs up, he punctures his tire. You could even use 4 nails. One for each tire. Or, even more evil, only 3. He'll still have to pay for the 4th tire replacement, even though nothing is wrong with the 4th tire.

I've posted this before. What're you're talking about doing is destruction of property. It's a crime. Just go to your local auto parts store, buy yourself a tire valve remover, and just keep it in your car. You can just unscre the valve and flatten the tire, and if you're feeling nice, replace it or just leave it on the ground.

Until they have a blowout and kill an innocent bystander.

You’re STILL talking destruction of property dude, how Is what you’re doing any different?

[–] Upperhand@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well, if you know how tires work, all you do is put air back in, when they're slashed you're responsible for, on a car like that, 300$ a tire. Removing the valve is an inconvenience, but slashing is money and time.

You’re assuming these people would notice a flat tire? Driving on a completely flat tire ruins them.

Yes, I do know how tires work, and clearly you don’t.

[–] Upperhand@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Guessing you don't drive, and if you do, it's not much. A half decent driver can feel the pull even with as little as 15psi. You're the kind of person who puts us all in danger on the road. Please turn in your driver license before you kill someone.

You realize this is the type of person parking halfway in a sidewalk right…? And you want to rely on their capability to notice a pull that could be their vehicle out of alignment instead…. Which can still lead to a situation where an innocent bystander is killed by your absolutely moronic decision to deflate someone’s tire.

This isn’t about OUR capability, but the capability of the people’s vehicles you are vandalizing.

But obviously someone who can’t comprehend how both of the situations are BOTH vandalizing wouldn’t be smart enough to know that either I guess…

People like you are everything wrong with this world, be better, and don’t need an ass when called out, there’s only one dick in this exchange, and you need to look in the mirror to see it.

Afaik if you put something into the valve cap it will press down onto the pin and deflates it when you screw it back on.

Until they have a blowout at speed and hit an innocent bystander, don’t vandalize people’s shit to make a point, fuck is wrong with people?

Please don't. Not that they don't deserve it, but you might get shot or arrested.

A better option would be to buy those fake tickets and leave it under their wiper so they panic for a second thinking they got a ticket. Or get some rude stickers and slap them on their car.

How about an advertisement poster for parking lessons, to get the point across?

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Plus you’re leaving nails in the parking lot for everyone else to run over

[–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Shot? Why is there so many people wanting to live in the US, you people live in a dystopic state

That's a funny childish fantasy and all, but you really shouldn't attempt potential murder over a fucking parking. You know damn well that idiots like this don't check their tires before heading out on the road, so they're going to endanger themselves and others because you tried to make a point or something?

Just leave a note if you want to send a message to them. They're going to be mad about the note, dismiss it and excuse themselves, but... they'll still have to think about it, which is a better result than any potential outcome of secretly destroying their tires, which from their point of view will be completely unrelated to their previous parking.
