I woke up to find my car wrapped head to toe in tape after I asked my neighbor to stop parking in front of my house. For weeks, he took my spot despite me explaining I have chronic leg pain and need a cane to get around. I asked him nicely multiple times, but he just ignored me.

The last time I knocked on his door, I was firmer and made him move his car so I could park near my door. I thought that would be the end of it.

This morning, I saw my car covered in tape—windows, mirrors, everything. I couldn’t believe the audacity. Not only did he take my spot, but now he was vandalizing my car to get back at me?

I spent hours cutting through the tape and scraping glue off my windows. While working, I planned my revenge carefully. The next day, I left a big sign on his car: “Reserved for Disabled Parking Only.” I then called the city to report illegal parking. Within a week, his car was ticketed multiple times, and he finally stopped blocking my spot.

Sometimes, you have to stand up and fight back—especially when your health is on the line.
