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.

I tip my hat to you, OP.

Between you and the absolute legend calling out the man who didn't want to pay for his own meal, I'm finding so many women are finally taking back some power from these sad, entitled losers.

Brava 👏

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe · 04/04/2024 11:46

I will fondly think of mine as that now too, singingthypraises...

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe · 04/04/2024 11:48

I think there must be a special offer on 'brava's' this week... board is peppered with them. I can't think why but, there it is.

Interested in this thread?

I'd probably wait about 6 months before assessing whether the overall outcome was in your favour.

DontBeAMeany · 03/04/2024 23:11

I'd be nervous of retaliations 🫤

Me too, it sounds as if op has an intimidating looking husband but then you don't know how many large & nasty mates this bloke has 😶
I don't know... I like to think that op has good instincts and knows what she can get away with, eejits like him do need to be taught a lesson!

Bluebellsparklypant · 06/04/2024 18:08

I’m still having a hard time, processing lard as a form of vengeance, I mean each to your own style of vengeance, but I don’t think I would’ve necessarily thought I know I’ll go and grab some lard to make my point

ShoNuff · 06/04/2024 18:10

A very strange thing to do.

Georgyporky · 06/04/2024 19:20

It would have been cheaper & better to put real "fucking shit" on his car.

MaryFuckingFerguson · 06/04/2024 19:24

Gosh, you sound like a peach.

People that behave like this and think it’s just dandy are as rough as old boots.

Ringpeace · 06/04/2024 19:25

I don't believe this happened.

1plus1equalswindow · 06/04/2024 19:46

Brilliant. I wish more people had OP’s backbone. There’d be fewer twats.

BirthdayRainbow · 06/04/2024 19:58

I've just smashed my new dish, dropped my Easter egg on the floor which the dog licked and been attacked by the cat so I'm covered in blood and plasters so THANK YOU for the photo. Best bit.

Andthereyougo · 06/04/2024 20:08

I really wish I’d known the qualities of lard when married to ex-h.
But now filed away in case of any future necessity. Thanks OP.

Honestly, some of the self-congratulatory posts on this site, begging for backslaps for engaging in petty behaviour in the hope of getting nominated for classics.

Utterly embarrassing.

…and of course this really happened 🤔

CrikeyMajikey · 06/04/2024 20:19

Bravo! A tin of vegetable soup is good too, looks like sick.

ButtockUp · 06/04/2024 20:39

Excellent!

unsync · 06/04/2024 21:41

If there's a next time, use the lard to stick the note to the windscreen. Two birds, one stone. 👍

goldenretrievermum5 · 03/04/2024 22:51

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?

Anyone who could possibly want an Audi already has one.

Nobody else would touch them with a lard-smeared bargepole.

ThewaytoAmarula · 06/04/2024 22:10

At least you didn't squidge a big lump of lard under the driver's door handle. Not that I'm advocating such behaviour.

I once read on here that Marmite is the thing for that.

I love that he final straw for him here was having to listen to your audio book
😂

Not true! Personally I don’t really want one but we do have one… I share an A1 with teen DD as it was going cheap and a good 1l option to start her off

WeAreBorg · 06/04/2024 23:08

I am absolutely shocked and appalled by the immature posters on here calling out Audi drivers as twats!

Everyone knows that accolade belongs to Range Rover drivers. I’d lard them up any day of the week oooh

marmaladeandpeanutbutter · 06/04/2024 23:26

Reminds me of my sister in law. "He called (her husband) an oik, and him with an Audi in our drive!"
