I 'Larded' an Audi....

And I have zero regrets.

A few days ago a mysterious car appeared and deposited itself across the verge/service road directly opposite both mine and my neighbours driveway exits.

Both exits are single car widths with concrete posts and brick walls.

This car being there removed half the width of the service road and meant a good deal of careful manoeuvring to avoid damaging anything.

We asked around the neighbours. Nobody knew anything about it.

We left a note advising of the difficulty parking there created for both houses.

Note was removed at some point.
Car remained for many hours.

DH (first time I've used that acronym since we ran off to Gretna on the 23rd December last year and told the family via video call from the safety and security of the Scottish Highlands on Christmas Day 😁)

was about to lose his temper and do something daft like letting the tyres down that surely would just make them hang around even longer

I may have been pre-menstrual/menopausal but I just got so fucking fed up with the damn inconvenience of a 365 point turn if someone else had parked legitimately on the road that I lost it.

I grabbed the lard from the fridge and walked round this Audi leaving a single thick line along the back windscreen along to the front and finished with a cock and balls on the front windscreen.

Then I went back in the house and waited.

Few hours later the door bangs so I answer it with my best resting bitch face and a "YES?"
( I kept DH out of the way as my nuclear option if I needed him) I'm probably more scary just without makeup and after a night shift.

A 30 something scruffy-looking oik in tracksuit busy talking on his phone to someone else stood there.

"Why you putting fucking shit on my car?"
I know it was you cos there was a shitty note on it"

So my brain confirmed that he HAD read the note and yet STILL continued to park there.

I told him to wipe it off and slammed my door.

I needed to go out about 5 minutes later and he was still parked there and as I got in my car and started reversing slowly he desperately screeches his car to completely block me in.

No problem, I've got time. I switch the engine off and turn my audio book up loud so it's blasting through the speakers and put my chair back and feet on the dash.

He lasts one minute thirty seconds before he drives off.

He hasn't been back.

I didn't break the law. I didn't damage his car.
I just caused him some inconvenience. Hopefully he will realise after several car washes...

Cos lard smears like an absolute fucker.

I just wanted to admit to it in secret.

Classy.

Lol, gave me a good wee laugh before bed, thank you!

I'm more intrigued by you having lard available. I buy it about once a year.

MsAdoraBelleDearheartVonLipwig · 03/04/2024 22:50

Brilliant. Stupid little shit might think twice in future. 😄

Classy.

Very much so. The level of immaturity on MN is crazy at the minute. Slightly understandable if it was blocking your driveway, not sitting on public property for goodness sake

Possibly a bit jealous of said Audi, OP?

This lard has been lurking in the fridge for several Christmas having been mistaken for butter when purchasing..

I've got lard languishing in the fridge since ds needed it for a Food Tech lesson. This thread has opened my eyes to lateral thinking on the lard usage front.

Can't say I'm impressed with you OP, but the Audi driver was a twat and I guess you did what you felt you had to do.

It was parked half on the verge. Every house had received letters from the council stating not to park on them as they were impossible to mow when churned up.
No thanks to an Audi for me you can keep yours parked nicely as I'm sure it is 😂

Your elopement story sounds intriguing...

Congratulations on your marriage but why did you need the safety of the Scottish Highlands?

ghomale · 03/04/2024 23:01

But he's got an Audi. Unless you've got or had one you can't know. It might be a lardy Audi but it will wash off. Your pettiness won't.

Gilead · 03/04/2024 23:04

I bow to your superior paybacks!😆

Brevilletron1 · 03/04/2024 23:05

We didn't really need the 'safety' aspect but we just wanted to surprise everyone so as we'd 'left out' everybody they were all in the dark together
We just said we were going on holiday for Christmas.

Audis are the car of choice for twats.

SiobhanSharpe · 03/04/2024 23:11

I drive an Audi and I heartily applaud your action OP. He deserved it.
And I always have lard in the fridge, it lasts forever and makes feather-light pastry.

DontBeAMeany · 03/04/2024 23:11

I'd be nervous of retaliations 🫤

Malarandras · 03/04/2024 23:12

If you did that near me you would very likely end up in A and E. And you’d need a new car. It’s not worth it, you do t know who you are dealing with.

That’s BMWs!!

SiobhanSharpe · 03/04/2024 23:14

Sometimes I despair of some Audi /Bmw/ hot hatch drivers. I try not to be a twat, though.

ButtockUp · 03/04/2024 23:15

Nicely done!

How was it mistaken for butter? Its got LARD in massive letters on the packet.

You can have it no questions asked.. I hate the damn thing! It’s ever so carefully (not) parked half way across the drive by newly qualified teenage DD who is still fine tuning her parking skills 😵‍💫

Our neighbours have altered their ring doorbell parameters to cover our drive.

I also have his reg plate.

Neighbours found it funny hence the offering to cover us too.

But I appreciate that I shouldn't make a habit of it and yes it was childish.

cancels investment in lard

Fancy swapping DD's?
Mine is on her 3rd car having gone round a corner too fast in the wet and run out of talent.
By the sounds of it your DD has at least got the "shiny side UP rubber side DOWN part of things" 😉
