<\/p>\n
My neighbor Todd used to park his beat-up blue Civic right in front of my garage. Every. Single. Morning.<\/p>\n
Like clockwork, I\u2019d head out at 7:15 for work\u2014and there it was, blocking my only way out. At first, I was nice. A gentle knock, a polite ask. Todd would stumble out half-asleep in his boxers, mumble an apology, and move it.<\/p>\n
Next day? Same story.<\/p>\n
After a week, I was irritated. Two weeks? Furious. By week three, I was hammering on his door like a repo man\u2014yelling, pleading, even putting up a giant DO NOT BLOCK DRIVEWAY<\/strong> sign. Nothing worked. Todd just didn\u2019t care.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s just for a minute,\u201d he\u2019d grumble, like that made it okay.<\/p>\n Then one night, after the sixth offense that week,<\/em> I lost it.<\/p>\n Barefoot, in my robe, I grabbed two jumbo cans of whipped cream, a roll of cling wrap, a Sharpie, and an old tub of glitter. I went outside and got to work.<\/p>\n I coated every inch of his car in whipped cream, wrapped the whole thing in cling film like a dairy sarcophagus, doodled googly eyes on the headlights, and wrote a polite message across the windshield (on the plastic, I\u2019m not evil). Then I dumped the glitter on top like a sparkly cherry.<\/p>\n The next morning, I watched with my coffee as Todd stepped outside. He just\u2026 stared. No yelling, no complaints. Just hours of silent, sticky cleanup.<\/p>\n And guess what?<\/p>\n He\u2019s never blocked my garage again.<\/p>\n Turns out, some people don\u2019t respond to reason. They respond to whipped cream justice.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My neighbor Todd used to park his beat-up blue Civic right in front of my garage. Every. Single.
