If someone blocks your parked car, it is tempting to imagine the many ways you could enact revenge.

But it is not every day you get the opportunity to act on your plans.

Luckily for one driver said to have the 'perfect' revenge story, this is exactly what happened. During a trip to a beauty spot, the nature lover left their vehicle in the designated car park. So far, so good.

But when the walker returned from the lake, they found they'd been blocked in.

"I came back to the parking lot to find my car blocked in by someone who thought it was a genius idea to leave their car directly behind 3 parked cars (I was the middle car, definitely couldn't get out)," the driver's Reddit post recalled.

Unfortunately, the car's owner was nowhere in sight. "I waited and waited, and right before I was going to call a tow truck a couple walks up and casually gets in the car and proceeds to drive off."

Spying an opportunity for revenge, the driver quickly set to work. Knowing the car park only had one exit, they decided to give the inconsiderate couple a taste of their own medicine.

"I quickly backed up, circled around the other way to get to the parking lot exit first. I get to the exit, and he's right behind me. I throw the car in park, and just sit there. 10 seconds later, he's laying on the horn..

"Eventually he gets out and walks up to my window and starts yelling profanities and tells me to get out of the way." But the revenge seeker didn't stop there. Instead, they wanted to drive home the message.

"I cut him off and tell him he made me wait 17 minutes and 20 seconds (I timed it) when he illegally blocked me in and I intend to wait 17 minutes and 20 seconds to let him leave," the post's author claimed.

They added that the couple were well and truly stuck. "Something to note here, there is only one exit in this parking lot, and the entrance for some reason has one way spikes to prevent people from leaving that way," the driver explained.

But the couple evidently did not know about the spikes based on what happened next. Recounting the end of the exchange, the author said the angry driver stormed off to his car before reversing toward the entrance.

"He drives down to the entrance and without noticing the spikes I guess, drives right into them. I see his brake lights come on at the last minute, and pow both front tires are done," they wrote.

"I then decided 17 minutes was a waste of time since he'd clearly be there longer than that, and so I left. Made the rest of my day feel much better."

Amazed, commenters congratulated the driver. "Nice. Reeeeeeeal nice," read one reply. A second said: "Instant karma got him!" Meanwhile, another simply wrote: "Car-ma."
