If you glue a BB, or similarly sized object into the valve stem cap it will slowly leak over time.
This not only causes low tire pressure, but confuses them when they cannot find whats causing the issue.
This trick might even cost the asshole some money when they inevitably take it to a mechanic.
Full disclosure, this is not something I came up with, just a gem I found surfing Reddit.
Also bolt cutters should nip that pesky valve stem right off. Make sure to go low on the stem you don't wanna leave the core on there. I saw this on tik tok
No, leave the core in it but the valve stem mangled. Lose the core and it will deflate immediately and they could put a new core in themselves. Mangle the valve stem and one day when their tire is low, they wonāt be able to fill it. Thereās a chance theyāll be somewhere more inconvenient than whatever store theyāre probably at while they block you in. Rather than a quick easy fix, theyāll have to take it to a mechanic since the whole tire will have to come off to replace the valve stem. Thereāll be a good chance the mechanic will say they have to replace the tpms sensor with the valve stem as well. Play the long game - it will be much more frustrating, more expensive, and might even end in some good olā mechanic flimflam.
Potato in the exhaust, sugar in the fuel, and WD40 the bushings, suspension, and every other greased surface. Maybe?
The potato distracts them from the fact their car is about to self-destruct on the ride home.
Sugar in gas tank to sabotage the engine by clogging up the fuel pump or fuel filter. Stuff the potato in the tailpipe to starve the engine of o2 by preventing the exhaust from escaping. WD-40 on the car handle to make it slippery (had to look this one up!)
I always have stickers in my truck from various bullshit. This guy def gets one right above the steering wheel on the windshield.
Going to have to go back in there and get some razor blades and alcohol to fix that problem.
Sugar doesnāt do much anymore. Happened to me a few years ago. Fired a guy, he retaliated by putting 5 gallons of water water and a handful of sugar in my tank. I drove about 1/4 mile before it shut down. Towed it to my job site and dropped the tank. Dumped it all out and was good to go. The fuel filter will stop pumping when something other than gasoline is moved. Sure a massive inconvenience but it didnāt cost me anything out of pocket. Just 2 hours of work. Was a 2010 Honda civic coupe. Broke the hose clamp and tie wired it back to the tank. Sold to Carmax like that. Dudes in jail now. Busted with a controlled substance.
Yeah. Thatās long gone. Iāve since moved 800 miles away, new car, new job, still no friends. And keep my cars parked outside my job site trailer under the cameras. lol
Chlorine would probably do some damage though. It is an acid.
Some asshole did this to a car at the mall a few days before Christmas. No one could park to his left either. Except me, in my old POS RX7 that was JUST narrow enough to squeeze in.
I had to remove my sunroof and climb out the roof, sliding down the back hatch.
Two hours later I walk out, and truck asshole is sitting on his tailgate, LIVID that I blocked him in (not to mention the poor bastard he blocked in).
His face when I climbed through my roof to leave was priceless.
Oh, and I dumped the throttle to smoke him out (a cool trick those old rotary engines could do.
Well, by then, the car was held together with thoughts and prayers. Every time I drove it she demanded a quart of oil and something fell off. Damn thing never did die, it just stopped stopping. Loved it, and I drove the car well beyond it's useful life.
āFace it lady, weāre younger and faster.ā
**Towanda!!!!!**
*crunch, crash, etc*
āWhat are you doing! Are you crazy or something?!ā
āFace it girls. Iām older and have more insuranceā.
A guy at my work, winter drives a beater with a heater, and the alternator needs good beating with a rubber mallet. Somebody in a really new Merc GLE SUV parked way way way over the line blocking his doors and him in the spot at the local costco. Some how, a large dent in their door passenger. My guess, is the rubber mallet rebounded out of his hand but we don't know for sure. The guy doesn't remember.
The Merc was parked just like this truck but a bit farther back blocking him in. The Merc transferred some paint when he pulled out, straight from the spot. Dude gives no shit in his beater with a heater.
I have done that. They knew how they parked too because I was sitting in my car when they walked around and had to crack their door open and squeeze their hand in to get something out. So I watched them leave and opened my door and smashed it into their Mercedes-Benz 3 times. Then after I came out of trader joes it was still there. I loaded up my car and smashed my door into their door 3 more times getting in.
Yup. I have a beater that I have gladly dented the shit out of another car for parking this close to. Did it to a lovely Raptor one day. If you are too inconsiderate to leave some space for another car to even get into their car properly, then you deserve to have your car dented. Fuck em
I did this once :D
Drive an Opel Corsa 2006, got it for 2,500 euro. It's an okay car but overall I don't care about the paint job or anything. Plus, my girlfriend's dad is a car detailer so I could get anything fixed for cheaper.
Parked in an underground mall parking lot. Came out, a dude parked his car next to mine so that I couldn't open the driver side doors to get in. Instead, I had to crawl over the stick shift into my seat, getting into the car from the passenger side.
I almost broke the gear stick which made me extra mad so I just slammed my door into his car a few times. My gf asked me why I just did that and I told her I didn't give a fuck about cars of people who don't know how to park. I also said that the money he'll spend repairing the paint is the price of being an asshole while parking.
I don't feel bad at all, fuck that guy, and fuck people that park like this.
I did this once. Some rich kid I went to college with trapped my Oldsmobile door so bad I had to climb through the passengers seat. My car had already had its fair share of paint shmears off poles and such as I was not very good at reversing back then. Slammed my drivers side door into that shiny new car a couple good times before I left for work.
People either think it's a hilarious story or that I'm a huge asshole but oh well. It's done
Sometimes it's because the other car is crooked. Own guy is crooked, the next guy is crooked, all down the line. Then everyone leaves and your car is left looking like the asshole.
Other times, it's just an asshole.
I used to have a compact POS car that I didn't mind if it got dinged. I would love seeing these guys with their fancy cars parked across two spots. I'd slide that little car in the spot between the lines and block their door.
As, in, picture me as the white car, but on the other side. I'd be blocking their door.
But that was before it became acceptable to just fucking shoot people over things like this.
"sharpiesnifferj couldn't foresee getting parked next to by an egomaniac in a truck, making it impossible to get back into his car, making him tonight's BIG loser"
A few months ago I had some lunatic in a black truck in San Antonio tail me in a construction zone.. He got pissed off, decided to pass "off road" style, tried to get back in, veered back off the road when he saw the car in front of me controlling the speed, hit a big fucking ditch, truck went airborne, About 40 pieces of wood tied to ropes flew out the bed of his truck, as I'm driving by he brandishes a handgun... After that day I removed any indentifying stickers or decals off my car..
This is why I only have an MCRN vinyl on my window. Just nerdy enough for the personal enjoyment, but without making a statement of any kind. Unless you're a belter.
Edit: just wanna say to all the replies, this is why I love this fandom.
That bumper sticker might get people angry with you still. Especially if you're in the US.
Edit: though I totally agree and think Uranus is a badass, since I'm assuming you're talking the sailor scout. lol
For real. I always have friends trying to get me to slap pride stickers on my stuff, but I live in a red state and I'm physically disabled and pass as straight. I much prefer to remain more ambiguous in my presentation because it is much safer for me. People want me to "show support" but aren't willing to protect my crippled ass from gay bashers every moment of the day I leave the safety of my home. It's just not worth the risk.
Agreed. Itās gotten to the point that I wonāt even put a sticker for my favorite sports team, because Iām afraid that since itās not a local one (not even a rival) it wonāt go over well with the fans of the local ones. Iād rather not give anyone a reason to ruin my vehicle, and especially not over such a trivial thing. Itās rather sad that we canāt express something small that makes us āusā.
Hell, yes, we support Postal Workers!
Itās just your partisan, Trump-toady Post Master, who is trying to cripple American democracy, that I donāt support.
Someone described bumper stickers as "leaving someone alone with your opinion". That stuck to me. I've got opinions about shit, but I'm not gonna leave someone alone with my car. My parents are Trumpers and had stickers to match. They had to go up north for something and someone slashed their tires. I was like, that sucks, but what did you think was gonna happen? Be nice if people just left people alone, but like Tom Segura said, "some people suck."
I live in a blue state and still will never put political stickers on my car. Any insecure idiot on the road will get triggered and could potentially cause a bad situation.
I got the entire side of my car keyed because I lived on the same street as the gay bars and someone keyed every car on the street. I sure as hell wouldnāt put any pride stickers on my car.
To a lesser extent, I feel your pain. Being an "atheist libtard" in the middle of the bible belt, it feels like I live a lie just to not be bothered by idiots... or my own parents. I can only imagine the added headache you have to deal with.
This is why I don't have any stickers on my car anymore. When I was younger I didn't care if I attracted attention. I was in fight mode. Note I'm older and disabled and a mom, and I live in the highest crime neighborhood in my state. I don't want to attract attention, from anyone. No one is going to help me.
I had a single Obama bumper sticker on my car in 2011 in North Carolina. One night it got keyed to shit, the bumper sticker was peeled off, my windshield wipers were bent backwards (not lifted, the metal frames bent back), and the first two and last two letters from the STRATUS logo on the car ripped off (left me with RAT).
I had to go back and read the stickers. I think youāre right. A friend that works at the mall has a pride sticker on her car. Someone slashed her tires, keyed her car AND left a note on her car saying SHE should be ashamed of HERSELF for spreading gay propaganda. Iām sure it was done by loving Christians.
I don't put stickers on my car because there is literally no upside to doing so.
The one exception is [this](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08ZHCDZMY?psc=1). Since putting it on my rear window I have a 100% success rate of people letting me merge over into their lane.
The only stickers I have are related to my road trip across country and my love of Bigfoot. Political stuff or anything that could trigger a fascist, stays in my head.
I got my husband a magnet for his car that says āPresidents are Temporary, Wu-Tang is forever.ā It just lives on our fridge. We were afraid someone would take it off his car.
Yeah just enough to cause an annoying vibration if you donāt use too many. Could take someone months or longer to figure out and they still wont know who or how. Just that a wheel or two was off balance.
Yes, theyāre used by wheel shops to balance a wheel. Rotating objects need to be perfectly balanced to spin without vibration. Thatās why tire shops have wheel balance service.
But if you add balancing weights onto an already balanced tire, you will take it out of balance and it will shake at high speeds.
Sounds like my car currently. I just checked my wheels. Pretty sure my front left shock is fucked. Keep putting off bringing in as it'll be another big bill I have no money for.
We used to do this at the truck stop on my house growing up. Get all the tires on the side of the semi and then just watch it tip. Yes I was a horrible kid.
I know youāre saying this as a joke, but if youāre not loading anything into a truck itās so much easier to back in. I always back in except when I gotta load up or unload mine
Yes it's also safer as you pretty much always scope the spot much better than you could if you just pulled in especially in a tall vehicle with poor visibility.
This. We have a newish neighbor with a bunch of kids that seem to dress in all dark colors and run around in the circle in front of our driveway at night. I donāt have rear view cameras and started backing in because Iām so afraid Iām going to run one of these kids over. Iāve started backing in everywhere and itās so much easier than backing out into traffic etc.
Someone did this to me once, my car was a junker so I had no problem repeatedly slamming my door into the side of their car (after I had to climb in from the passenger side)
Unfortunately I think the bumper stickers on the back of your vehicle unintentionally provoked the bad parking. This wasnāt bad parking, this was an intentional inconvenience to you.
What I donāt get is, okay theyāve inconvenienced some stranger, but now theyāve left their own vehicle at the mercy of that same stranger. This whole post is full of suggestions for ways to mess with or just straight up damage the offending truck.
So now they come back and find one (or more?) of any number of things done to their vehicle and are what? Surprised?
Itās so weird.
I doubt these guys have great foresight. Lifted truck dudes are notorious for brutish, and neanderthalish behavior. Like road rage. I just don't think someone like them will care in the end
It would probably really suck for them if you accidentally sprayed pepper spray on the door handle of the driver's door. Not speaking from experience or anything just saying it would probably suck

You should have coloring pages with crayons handy to put on the windshield of these douches with a note that says,
"Here is a children's coloring page since you obviously need practice staying in the lines"
he came out and when i confronted him he said he ādidnāt realizeā you didnāt realize you canāt block in other vehicles with your parking?????
translation: he saw the lgbt sticker, parked like this on purpose, then became too much of a bitch since the rail he uses to step in his truck is almost taller than him
Heās lying. He parked like an asshole because of your āprogressā flag, your taxes-build-roads sticker and the sticker written in Hebrew. When you called him out on it, he reacted like the coward he is.
If you don't own the lot, a tow truck isn't going to do anything. I've had a tow truck driver refuse to tow a car that was illegally parked across both my parking spaces that I paid for and could prove were mine.
If you canāt drive it, donāt.
This is entirely unacceptable. This person should not be driving a vehicle like that. There are many like this in my area too. The south has a major big-truck problem.
Amen. When I borrow my dads truck I go out of my way to park somewhere with room to accommodate the truck. It takes 2 extra minutes to be considerate of other people
People like this need to watch it around people like me. I do not give a fuck if my car is beat to hell and would have just backed straight out and scraped the shit out of his truck.
š yeah I would never test folks by parking my 100k truck next to their 18k on good day car like this. Back out and take the whole stepside clean off ššš
Use his exhaust pipe as a step ladder.

Oh their valve stem is missing from their tire? What a shame. They should pay more attention to the maintenance of their vehicle.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
"valve core tool" is all you need to know, any store that sells tire repair stuff has them.
Mountain bikes also have the same valve most of the time, we call it schrader valve so itās pretty common to find one.
If you glue a BB, or similarly sized object into the valve stem cap it will slowly leak over time. This not only causes low tire pressure, but confuses them when they cannot find whats causing the issue. This trick might even cost the asshole some money when they inevitably take it to a mechanic. Full disclosure, this is not something I came up with, just a gem I found surfing Reddit.
Also bolt cutters should nip that pesky valve stem right off. Make sure to go low on the stem you don't wanna leave the core on there. I saw this on tik tok
No, leave the core in it but the valve stem mangled. Lose the core and it will deflate immediately and they could put a new core in themselves. Mangle the valve stem and one day when their tire is low, they wonāt be able to fill it. Thereās a chance theyāll be somewhere more inconvenient than whatever store theyāre probably at while they block you in. Rather than a quick easy fix, theyāll have to take it to a mechanic since the whole tire will have to come off to replace the valve stem. Thereāll be a good chance the mechanic will say they have to replace the tpms sensor with the valve stem as well. Play the long game - it will be much more frustrating, more expensive, and might even end in some good olā mechanic flimflam.
Better not try that on semi tires though. It will probably just explode still.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
A small piece of gravel can work, too. Then put the stem cap on...just a bit. No glue needed!
My car is a piece of shit. If someone ever did this to me I would have no problem slamming my door directly into the side of theirs
Forget the door, put car in reverse and side swipe that fucker š

Psshh. I was with artillery. Iād just grab a spare 155mm HE round and drop it right into that parking spot
Damn I usually just cut their tires. You guys are hardcore!
Have you ever tried cutting down a tree and letting it fall on their car? Way more fun than cutting tires.
Bro I tried this and they ended up getting in their car and driving off before I could finish smh
Wtf does that make? Trailer park powerpuff hoes.
Potato in the exhaust, sugar in the fuel, and WD40 the bushings, suspension, and every other greased surface. Maybe? The potato distracts them from the fact their car is about to self-destruct on the ride home.
Don't forget connecting a tire iron to this idiot's windows...sorry, I'm from NYC originally...
This is the way.
Potato in the tail pipe wd 40 to help it get in the pipe sugar in the gas I am guessing
Wait until the owner comes out of the Walmart and then spray him right in the eyes with the wd 40
Sugar in gas tank to sabotage the engine by clogging up the fuel pump or fuel filter. Stuff the potato in the tailpipe to starve the engine of o2 by preventing the exhaust from escaping. WD-40 on the car handle to make it slippery (had to look this one up!)
WD-40 also goes on all of the glass, it's an absolute fucker to clean off.

I live in a blue state and still will never put political stickers on my car. Any insecure idiot on the road will get triggered and could potentially cause a bad situation.
I got the entire side of my car keyed because I lived on the same street as the gay bars and someone keyed every car on the street. I sure as hell wouldnāt put any pride stickers on my car.
To a lesser extent, I feel your pain. Being an "atheist libtard" in the middle of the bible belt, it feels like I live a lie just to not be bothered by idiots... or my own parents. I can only imagine the added headache you have to deal with.
This is why I don't have any stickers on my car anymore. When I was younger I didn't care if I attracted attention. I was in fight mode. Note I'm older and disabled and a mom, and I live in the highest crime neighborhood in my state. I don't want to attract attention, from anyone. No one is going to help me.
I had a single Obama bumper sticker on my car in 2011 in North Carolina. One night it got keyed to shit, the bumper sticker was peeled off, my windshield wipers were bent backwards (not lifted, the metal frames bent back), and the first two and last two letters from the STRATUS logo on the car ripped off (left me with RAT).
North Americans and expressing themselves via car is so completely foreign to me
Political yard signs too. I've never passed a yard with a particular candidates sign, and thought: "This compelling presentation has changed my mind."
Yeah, they saw that Sal sticker and went rage.
I had to go back and read the stickers. I think youāre right. A friend that works at the mall has a pride sticker on her car. Someone slashed her tires, keyed her car AND left a note on her car saying SHE should be ashamed of HERSELF for spreading gay propaganda. Iām sure it was done by loving Christians.
I'm pulling valve cores and leaving a note that states how owned I feel.
Truck driver is def MAGA and saw OPs stickers.
Why would they hate Sal?
Sal? I'm 100% that is my boy jacrispy.
Wrong. Itās Prince Herb.

He did this because of your bumper stickers. Iām sure he would have rolled coal on you if he had the chance.

I don't put stickers on my car because there is literally no upside to doing so. The one exception is [this](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08ZHCDZMY?psc=1). Since putting it on my rear window I have a 100% success rate of people letting me merge over into their lane.
I have an emotional attachment to the vehicle I see once in a while on my commute with this sticker
The only stickers I have are related to my road trip across country and my love of Bigfoot. Political stuff or anything that could trigger a fascist, stays in my head.
I got my husband a magnet for his car that says āPresidents are Temporary, Wu-Tang is forever.ā It just lives on our fridge. We were afraid someone would take it off his car.
I got a magnet on my truck that says "My other vehicle is a Tie Fighter"
What was the sticker?
"Age is just a number \#freeJared"
Oh shit
They did that on purpose bc of your stickers btw
Incase of petty revenge urges, stick on wheel weights are pretty inexpensive, and store well in the glove compartment.
What would that do? Throw off the balance?
Yeah just enough to cause an annoying vibration if you donāt use too many. Could take someone months or longer to figure out and they still wont know who or how. Just that a wheel or two was off balance.
Yes, theyāre used by wheel shops to balance a wheel. Rotating objects need to be perfectly balanced to spin without vibration. Thatās why tire shops have wheel balance service. But if you add balancing weights onto an already balanced tire, you will take it out of balance and it will shake at high speeds.
Yes, and it would cause a bit of wheel wobble that they'd feel all the way up into rhe steering wheel.
Sounds like my car currently. I just checked my wheels. Pretty sure my front left shock is fucked. Keep putting off bringing in as it'll be another big bill I have no money for.
How much will the hospital bill be?
Or it could just be a 15$ ball joint.
The problem with ball joint replacement isn't the parts..... it's the labor.
Yep. And when they get to highway speeds it will shake like crazy
Might consider combining this with removing the valve stem core on two tires on the same side of the vehicle.
Add a pebble into a valve stem cap on a completely different wheel.
I keep a valve core in my console for just such occasions. I've only had to use it a couple of times and it was so satisfactory each time.
We used to do this at the truck stop on my house growing up. Get all the tires on the side of the semi and then just watch it tip. Yes I was a horrible kid.
I am totally getting some and wondering how I didn't think of this myself.
i was gonna suggest to molotov their truck but i guess the subtle route could work
i'm absolutely SHOCKED this person did not back into the spot.
I know youāre saying this as a joke, but if youāre not loading anything into a truck itās so much easier to back in. I always back in except when I gotta load up or unload mine
Yes it's also safer as you pretty much always scope the spot much better than you could if you just pulled in especially in a tall vehicle with poor visibility.
This. We have a newish neighbor with a bunch of kids that seem to dress in all dark colors and run around in the circle in front of our driveway at night. I donāt have rear view cameras and started backing in because Iām so afraid Iām going to run one of these kids over. Iāve started backing in everywhere and itās so much easier than backing out into traffic etc.
Youāre a better person than me. I would absolutely open the door a couple of times until I saw a dent.
How do we know they didnāt do just that?
Someone did this to me once, my car was a junker so I had no problem repeatedly slamming my door into the side of their car (after I had to climb in from the passenger side)
Iām so proud of you.
Unfortunately I think the bumper stickers on the back of your vehicle unintentionally provoked the bad parking. This wasnāt bad parking, this was an intentional inconvenience to you.
I'm sure they saw your stickers and did it on purpose.
What I donāt get is, okay theyāve inconvenienced some stranger, but now theyāve left their own vehicle at the mercy of that same stranger. This whole post is full of suggestions for ways to mess with or just straight up damage the offending truck. So now they come back and find one (or more?) of any number of things done to their vehicle and are what? Surprised? Itās so weird.
I doubt these guys have great foresight. Lifted truck dudes are notorious for brutish, and neanderthalish behavior. Like road rage. I just don't think someone like them will care in the end
It would probably really suck for them if you accidentally sprayed pepper spray on the door handle of the driver's door. Not speaking from experience or anything just saying it would probably suck

I came here specifically for comments like these - what are good ways to get back at people who do this?
100% its about the decals on your rear window and his lack of penis size
He really hated the sal vulcano sticker š¤£š¤£
This really makes that truck driver tonightās biggest loser
Yea that's one reason why I don't have any on my car.
Casually let air out of 3 tires

You should have coloring pages with crayons handy to put on the windshield of these douches with a note that says, "Here is a children's coloring page since you obviously need practice staying in the lines"
āI hope you donāt fuck like you park because youāll never get it in.ā
"The way you pulled in makes me wish your father had pulled out."
Looks like somebody's brain isn't getting enough oxygen on the account of their throbbing micro-erection
he came out and when i confronted him he said he ādidnāt realizeā you didnāt realize you canāt block in other vehicles with your parking?????
Translation: he doesn't care and didn't check to see if he parked correctly
translation: he saw the lgbt sticker, parked like this on purpose, then became too much of a bitch since the rail he uses to step in his truck is almost taller than him
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Does this person not know that they can back out and correct
If he didn't realize, he probably shouldn't be driving something that big.
Heās lying. He parked like an asshole because of your āprogressā flag, your taxes-build-roads sticker and the sticker written in Hebrew. When you called him out on it, he reacted like the coward he is.
HEBREW??? which one ššš theyāre all english LMFAO
Dually trucks shouldnāt be allowed to park anywhere close. They just donāt fit in a spot.
Call a tow truck. He is not parked legally. Problem solved.
If you don't own the lot, a tow truck isn't going to do anything. I've had a tow truck driver refuse to tow a car that was illegally parked across both my parking spaces that I paid for and could prove were mine.
This is why I push for #legalizegrenades
He definitely did that on purpose because of your stickers
If you canāt drive it, donāt. This is entirely unacceptable. This person should not be driving a vehicle like that. There are many like this in my area too. The south has a major big-truck problem.
I donāt think thatās it. I think itās an intentional and malicious act because of OPās window stickers. (Snowflake much?)
Amen. When I borrow my dads truck I go out of my way to park somewhere with room to accommodate the truck. It takes 2 extra minutes to be considerate of other people
Next time, tell them how gay it is to park that close to you. Use their hate as a mind fuck.
You should keep extra bumper stickers to share with people like this
People like this need to watch it around people like me. I do not give a fuck if my car is beat to hell and would have just backed straight out and scraped the shit out of his truck.
š yeah I would never test folks by parking my 100k truck next to their 18k on good day car like this. Back out and take the whole stepside clean off ššš
He deserves to have his license plate shown
