In Real Life, seeing someone park where they shouldn't (like a disabled parking spot when they're not actually disabled) or stealing the parking spot you've been patiently waiting for is incredibly frustrating. In fiction, a character might choose to take immediate revenge on the parking infringer, often in a humorous fashion (giving the audience vicarious satisfaction). A subtrope of Disproportionate Retribution. Note that these actions are often things that could get you arrested in Real Life. |

On Desperate Housewives, Susan trips the guy who takes her spot, grabs his keys to move his car, then closes the window on his neck when he attempts to stop her. However, it wasn't really just about the parking space; she was pissed off that her fiance and ex-boyfriend made her the prize in a poker game, and thus was not feeling kindly to any men at the time. | |

CSI: NY: In "Prey," a voice coach is murdered and one of the first suspects is the theater director he was working with at the time because the director's knuckles match bruises on the victim. Turns out, he'd beaten the man to a pulp for continually parking in the space with the director's name on it and laughing about it. | |

At the beginning of Ali G Indahouse, Ali steals a handicapped spot at the leisure center from an old man, faking a limp. Later, after his car's wheels are stolen, Ali has to take his Nan's dinky little motorized scooter, which can't even drive the speed limit, and the old man swoops in and grabs the space before he can, Flipping the Bird to Ali with his prosthetic hand. | |

Hustle: In "Price of Fame", Benny Frazier parking in the ambulance zone at a hospital (and being rude to the staff member who asks him to move) is what first identifies him to Albert as a potential mark. This is a variation on the standard trope as the payback is not immediate and does not directly involve the car. | |

In Kingdom Hospital, the neurosurgeon Dr. Stegman loves parking where he shouldn't. Handicapped parking spot? No problem: he just covers the sign with a paper bag. There is some delight to be had in seeing his beloved Jaguar take ever more damage as the series progresses. He's such an asshole that he parks on the helipad, right when a helicopter needs to land! | |

Elementary: At the start of "Up to Heaven and Down to Hell", a driver steals a parking spot from a limo driver who has been waiting for it. Ignoring the honking traffic building up behind him, the limo driver opens his trunk to extract something, obviously planning to inflict some vengeance on the offending car and/or driver. However, whatever payback he had planned in preempted when the other driver is killed by an elderly woman plunging off the balcony of an apartment building. | |

In Me, Myself & Irene, when Charlie sees a young football player drive a convertible up and park in the handicapped space (flaunting his unhandicapped status by leaping out over the door) it triggers Charlie's rage-fueled alter-ego Hank, who goes to town on the car with a trash bin. The football player then emerges from the store, helping the owner of the car who is a man in a neck brace. The owner is none too happy to see what Hank did to his car. | |

Xander Cage in xXx did the same thing as Bond in Casino Royale (2006) (see above), except 1) The victim in this case was a U.S. congressman who advocated some policies Xander disagreed with, 2) he was trying to be mistaken for an employee of the country club from which he stole it, and 3) he parked it in a canyon a few miles away from the country club. By jumping it off a bridge over said canyon. | |

Black Hat of xkcd fame does not tolerate double-parkers. One comic claims that he has, previously, completely disassembled someone's car for being parked across two spaces - followed, according to the Alt Text, by installing each piece in a random other car in the lot, and using the substituted pieces to create a Frankenstein's monster of a vehicle in one of the spaces. A later comic has him bisect the offender's car along the parking line, then move one half into the same space as the other. Police reported three dozen cheerful bystanders, yet no one claims to have seen who did it. |

So Hiroshi decided to get back at her when she went overseas by allowing the construction workers to destroy the garage on account of a typhoon that would have destroyed her car, so he allowed it to get flooded instead. | |

Quick Change: Against Loomis' better judgement, he parks in front of a fire hydrant at Phyllis' urging, with her saying that they have enough money to pay the fine. While they are in the apartment, a fire breaks out in the building across the street and Loomis can only watch helplessly as the firemen push his car out of the way. It rolls down the hill, through a hedge, and down an embankment to crash into a park. Later, he sees it being towed away; completely trashed. | |

On Seinfeld, Kramer convinces George to park in a handicapped space when they can't find anywhere else to park at the mall ("Handicapped people, they don't even want to park there, they want to be treated just like everybody else. That's why those spaces are always empty."). When they come back, it turns out that a woman who uses a wheelchair had injured herself as a result of not being able to park in the space, and an angry mob is waiting for the owners of the car - and eventually demolish it. To make matters worse, the car belonged to George's father, who is arrested in the middle of his United Volunteers meeting, right after receiving an award for all the fundraising he did to help buy wheelchairs for disabled people. In The Tag, the gang are back at the same mall and again cannot find a parking space, so Kramer tries convincing George to park in front of the fire hydrant. | |

There is an urban legend about an older woman who takes revenge on the sassy young thing who brazenly zips into the parking space she'd been waiting for. When she protests, the parking spot thief says, "That's how it is when you're young and quick." The woman puts her car into gear, floors the accelerator and rams the offending vehicle. When the sassy young thing screams in protest, the woman replies, "That's how it is when you're old and rich" (or "and have more insurance"). You can check out the legend and its variations at Snopes here. | |

Michelle locked the RV and the gate with chains and padlocks and left for her vacation. When they returned a week later, Elisha and her husband Joseph yelled at Michelle and her husband, saying that they had to carry all the equipment by foot. Michelle exposed the couple's trespassing on the neighborhood meeting, and they were forced to move out due to nobody speaking to them after that. | |

C.O.P.S.: When Ms. Demeanour is made to wear a mind-altering tiara that forces her to abide to the law, she finds a car parked three inches out of a space into a red zone and lifts it out by hand, destroying its tires (and presumably its suspension) when she drops it back down. | |

Etra-chan saw it!: Azami tells her baking class students to park their car on other people's parking spaces without asking for their permission. Karin is annoyed by this as her parking space is often used by them when she returns home with her car, she decides to confront Azami about it, but she keeps insisting that the parking space is free when she is not using it. After being fed up with Azami's nonsense, Karin blocks her own occupied parking space with her car, preventing one of the students to leave. A few days later, another car shows up parked in Karin's parking space again, prompting her to do the same thing as she did before. Kuroki has to deal with his noisy neighbors who block the parking lot of his apartment with their van, this causes him to snap and damage it with a bicycle. A tough looking guy, Tachibana arrives after Kuroki damaged the van, causing him to think that he was the owner of the van, however, Tachibana is actually one of the neighbors who got annoyed by the noises, and he takes another bicycle to damage the van further. The noisy neighbors end up being intimidated by Tachibana and they eventually move out from the apartment, with the damaged van being towed by a tow truck. Azami heard about Yuri parking in Kuroki and Karin's parking space with the payment of $200 although she is using the parking space for free. Against their wishes, Azami parked her van during times when Yuri is away. One day, she left her van way past the time Yuri got back from work. Kuroki and Karin were forced to call the police. Azami found a notice on her van demanding her to pay $300 every time she uses the parking space or be sued by them. The neighbors found about Azami's antics when the police demanded that Azami remove her van through a megaphone. Akamatsu and Tachibana has had enough of Azami and made her go back to paying a parking service. |

Casino Royale (2006) sees Bond being mistaken for a member of the resort staff and ordered by a guest (with extreme condescension) to park his car. He does so - first flawlessly, and then, after a pause, accelerates out and reverses back in again hard enough to smash the front of the car behind him, divest the dickish guest's car of its rear bumper, knock over the parking barrier, and set off half a dozen car alarms. Then he tosses the keys somewhere into the chaos without looking and strides off. Nobody revenge-parks like James Bond. Helpfully, this also provided a diversion that allowed Bond to sneak into the security office. | |

In Madea Goes to Jail, Madea's parking space is stolen by a snotty female driver. What does Madea do? She gets hold of a lifting crane, lifts the offending car into the air and out of the parking space, then unceremoniously drops the car onto the street for massive damage. | |

In the season 1 episode of Breaking Bad "Cancer Man", Walt circles a parking lot in order to cash a check at the credit union for his cancer treatment. When one finally becomes available, he is about to pull into it when a red BMW with the license plate "KEN WINS" races into the spot before him. Walt rages indignantly, but the suit wearing driver ignores him completely while obnoxiously talking into his headset. When Walt finally finds a spot, he walks into the bank only to find "Ken" there, still loudly yakking on his phone, to the intense annoyance of everyone there. Later in the same episode, Walt sees the same car parked outside a gas station. He shoves a wet squeegee in between the battery terminals of the BMW and nonchalantly walks away while the car bursts into flames. | |
