It started like any normal afternoon—until an entitled man decided our driveway was his personal parking spot. He pulled up right in front of our garage, blocking us in completely. I went outside and politely asked him to move, explaining we needed access. Instead of showing basic courtesy, he scoffed and said he’d “only be a minute.” That minute turned into five, then ten. When I approached him again, his attitude shifted from dismissive to outright rude. He raised his voice, told me I was being dramatic, and accused me of overreacting.
Then, as if to prove how important he was, he threw his business card at me and sped off smirking like he’d won. I stood there, card in hand, both stunned and furious. So I did what he probably didn’t expect I looked him up. Turns out, he owned a local business, one that depended on community support and online reviews. That smug little card gave me all the information I needed.
I wrote a detailed post about what happened his arrogance, the argument, and that ridiculous card toss and shared it in a large neighborhood Facebook group. The response was overwhelming. Dozens of people commented that they’d had similar run-ins with the same guy. Many left reviews detailing their experiences. The story spread fast, and within days, his business’s reputation began to crumble. Calls stopped coming in. Negative reviews flooded his page.
Some even contacted him directly, letting him know exactly why they wouldn’t be supporting his business anymore. He thought throwing a business card at me would shut me up. Instead, it handed me the perfect tool for payback. He blocked my garage for a few minutes but I blocked his business for good.
