Remove the valve stem cores, reinstall valve caps. Have fun with ur random flats for the next week.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 42 minutes ago

The problem with that is that the first tire tech who responds to the flats, will spot the missing valve stems, and replace rhem. It also takes a lot of time to do it.

The better move is to just unscrew the caps, and drop a BB in the cap and screw it back on. The BB will press slightly on the valve stem, and cause a slow leak. The tire tech will search and search for the source, but he's unlikely to look in the cap, and he probably won't notice the BB in the cap anyway, so it will become an ongoing problem.

Go back to my home and start a government petition to legalise pedestrians carrying rocket-propelled grenade launchers to better handle situations like this

Mix glitter and superglue in a water balloon

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Or put bleach in a water balloon. Will fuck the paint up if they don't remove it quickly and they might not notice their car got bleached bombed until it's too late.

[–] dektep@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

Am climbing over that

[–] lengau@midwest.social 11 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Call the cops and wait there to watch it get towed.

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I don't think I've ever seen a cop do anything that could be called useful. I mean I'm sure they must occasionally, but I cannot attest to it.

[–] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 hour ago

Move to a civilized country then.

[–] plutopos@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I don't think the cops would go out for just one car parked over the crossing lines

[–] lengau@midwest.social 6 points 2 hours ago

In my city they do, and you get a fine in addition to the impoundment fees.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 19 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I mumble “what an asshole” and move on with my life

[–] Paddzr@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

But but... it's a Tesla!!!@!

The least you could do is molotov it.

Asshole is an asshole, regardless of a car brand... but lemmy absolutely hates anything and everything Tesla.

[–] Patrikvo@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 hours ago

The least you could do is molotov it.

Not if you're in a low emision zone.

~~I'd be like 🤌. Maybe even 🤌🤌.~~

~~Hint: the plate on the car behind the black one~~

nevermind, it's France. I'd read an "I" at first.

[–] boltzbruh@lemmy.world 1 points 11 minutes ago

It's actually Portugal :') Look at "Alarme"

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

It's a rich wanker as always. I live in a pretty affluent area and the wealthy think they can break the traffic laws all the time.

[–] PixeIOrange@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

Get my flipper and open the charging port!

[–] Johnny101@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I dont think the police would care that much if I called them about an improperly parked car. I'd call them anyways and use my best Sheldon Cooper impression and make a huge deal out of it.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 7 points 5 hours ago

Seems like a valid reason to go full Karen mode.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Wrong place.

And also, who tf parks so wrong?

If it's a hot day, I rub my genitals on the windscreen. Really get a nice smearing action on that glass. Then I leave a note saying I did what I did because they parked like an arsehole.

[–] sibannac@lemmy.world 18 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Walk over it. Even if it's filmed, they are in a crosswalk what would come of that? Get some friends to do the same. If they don't want their car walked on, don't park on the crosswalk.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 37 minutes ago

I like this one. If you are flexible/ athletically inclined, just climb all over it, drag your stuff across it, stomp over the roof or the hood real hard, maybe take a moment and stamp the water or mud off your boots, etc.

Sorry, just thought the car was part of the crosswalk. You didn't actually intend to park there, did you? It's a crosswalk. People are going to walk there, of course. Why would you park there, it's illegal! This is on you.

[–] Folstar@lemmus.org 10 points 9 hours ago

Maybe covering everything with cars and car infrastructure was a bad idea.

[–] SpiceDealer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 hours ago (3 children)
[–] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 hour ago

Nah, that would be too obvious.

Put nails in front of the wheels.

[–] Patrikvo@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 hours ago

That feels like the wrong type of vandalism. Shouldn't the tires be kept intact as to have the vehicle removed as soon as possible?

[–] thecommonistagenda@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 hours ago

Only reasonable reaction

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 12 points 13 hours ago

I would think wow that's terrible parking, and would wonder if they'll get a ticket from somebody who makes a living putting tickets on improperly parked cars.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 18 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Ah, Balkans, huh?

Edit: Looks like Portugal plates. They're honorary Balkans.
