Woman Refuses To Apologize After Getting Guy’s Car Towed Without Warning, He Gets Ice-Cold Revenge
Let’s be real: entitled people are some of the worst. You know the type; striding around like the whole world owes them a favor (for doing nothing) and, if you dare not bend over backwards for them at the drop of a hat, you’ll have all kinds of hell to pay.
One guy turned to an online community to share his story of a daycare manager Karen too entitled for her own good and the chaos he created for her after she had his car towed without warning. Tuck into this tale of revenge served ice-cold.
More info: Reddit

There’s not a lot worse than an entitled person, especially if they’re a Karen with a chip on their shoulder

One company owner with a substantial parking lot in front of his office had no problem with the daycare next door using it when theirs got too busy at peak times

One day he arrived to find his whole parking lot full of parents’ cars, so he grabbed an open spot at the daycare instead, not thinking it’d be a problem

The next day, however, he got glared at by the daycare manager, and came back to a towed car, which she admitted to arranging, with no apologies and an insult thrown in

The guy got his revenge a week later after he had his entire parking lot fenced off and access controlled, and happily waved at the flustered manager as the daycare’s lot descended into chaos
For two years, life at a small eight-person company was peaceful. The office shared a building with a daycare, and since the business had 24 parking spots but only used eight, parents and staff often parked there. It wasn’t a big deal, until one day the daycare’s manager decided to tow the wrong car.
When the original poster (OP), the company’s co-owner, parked in the daycare lot, as payback for years of shared parking, his distinctive blue truck was towed without warning. The manager scolded him publicly, calling him an “unknown adult” and implying he didn’t belong there. The $600 tow fee stung, but the insult cut even deeper.
So, he decided to teach her a lesson. He called the landlord, claimed it was for “compliance reasons,” and got approval to install a secure gate around his company’s lot. Two weeks later the gate went up, and chaos immediately followed. Parents couldn’t park, staff panicked, and the manager was fuming.
From his office window, OP watched the mayhem unfold with a grin. The manager had to direct confused parents, traffic piled up, and people parked down the street. When he strolled outside and waved, her glare could’ve melted steel. The best part? He still legally owns all 24 spots. For the next seven years.

There’s no mistaking it: OP was dealing with a full-blown, unapologetic Karen, as entitled as they come. Her malicious decision to have his car towed without even giving him a heads-up was completely out of line, and her behavior after that? Absolutely wild. So, what’s the best way to handle someone like her? We went looking for answers.
The pros over at WebMD say entitlement is a narcissistic personality trait. While it’s not quite understood how this mentality develops, it may have something to do with social factors, like the environment people grew up in, the way their parents treated them, whether adults solved their problems, and how they’re treated by authority figures.
In her article for SPSP, Emily Zitek says there are ways to help you avoid reinforcing someone’s sense of entitlement. Like, when an entitled person makes an unreasonable demand, don’t cave; doing that could make them even surer their demands are justified. It also helps to explain to them why saying no is fair, since feeling like they’re being treated unfairly can fire them up even more.
Maybe OP pulling the daycare’s parking perk entirely was taking things a bit too far, but we’d bet money the daycare manager learned a lesson she won’t forget anytime soon: act like a jerk and get jerked around right back.
What do you think? Did OP overreact, or did the daycare drama queen get exactly what was coming to her? Share your thoughts in the comments!
In the comments, readers congratulated the original poster for taking petty revenge and said people like the daycare manager deserve every inconvenience that they get

The people saying that the gate was somewhat justified but harsh or an overreaction, too petty are idiots: the dude was being neighborly to begin with by allowing the daycare access to those 24 parking spots in the back and the daycare hosebeast towed HIS truck, with zero notice! And was a rude shrew when he tried to speak to her about it. Plus he didn't tow HER car...he was way nicer than I would have been.

I would have towed her car and still installed the gate.

I think I would have told the "Karen" (and sent a letter to the owner) that I had been kindly allowing the daycare people to use MY parking spots without towing or charging in order to be a good neighbor. Because my car had been towed without notice nor apology, I was now locking my lot to prevent their a.b.u.s.e. And until Karen personally apologized and reimbursed me for the un-neighborly towing, and until she personally assured me that when THEY had filled our lot, that we could use theirs, that the gate would remain locked. Essentially, I would be demanding unconditional surrender. That would put the owners of the daycare on notice about the Karen, and put her in the (I'm sure) unpleasant position of HAVING to apologize for her nastiness, and would not inconvenience all the blameless people that were associated with the daycare.
