Ah, parking. In some places around the world, it’s a non-issue, and in others, a parking space is worth its weight in gold.

The man in this r/MaliciousCompliance story is the son of a pecan farmer. If you don’t know, a pecan grove has nicely spaced trees and flat ground that’s kept mowed.
The reason it’s kept neat like that is because pecans will fall into any available grooves and then fail to get picked up by the harvesting machines, causing a lot of work for the farmer in the process.

Even the police, though, don’t seem to be able to really manage to take care of it.

And that’s when things get interesting (and fruitful).

The guy’s employer had to get involved, and the farmer was the one laughing.

Lesson learned, wouldn’t you say? Ask nicely once, but if the sheriff’s office can’t handle things, take matters into your own hands.
I actually love this one. It’s all so…polite and civilized.
