How One Nurse Taught Her Parking-Obsessed Neighbor a $300 Lesson in Driveway Etiquette

Picture this: It’s late at night, you’ve just finished a grueling 12-hour shift saving lives, your feet ache, your stomach is rumbling, and all you can think about is that precious takeout waiting in your passenger seat. You turn onto your peaceful cul-de-sac, only to find your driveway—your sanctuary—commandeered by a hulking white SUV that isn’t yours. That delicious dinner just got served cold with a side of frustration.

For one Redditor (u/Gotenks972), this wasn’t a one-off annoyance—it was the final straw in an ongoing saga of neighborly disrespect. And when push came to shove (or, should we say, tow), she delivered a masterclass in petty revenge that cost her neighbor $300 and guaranteed her the last laugh.

Enter one of Reddit’s finest tales of Malicious Compliance, where “just making boxes” turned into a masterclass in outsmarting small-minded management.

Our hero, u/ContributionShort562, is young, strong, and fast—too fast, in fact, for the pace of the assembly line. Instead of twiddling his thumbs, he tries to help his coworkers, some of whom are fainting from the heat. But the boss isn’t having it. She orders him to stick to his one job: making boxes. So, he does. And what happens next is a thing of beauty.

But sometimes, just sometimes, the universe gives you a chance to serve up a little poetic justice.
