What do you think of every time you see or read something about people that somehow gets everything they want? The people who will do anything that they wish to and believing that they would always get away with it no matter what they did? People who act as such are the ones who do not think of how their actions will affect others no matter the outcome. It is not up to us to say what they want is right or wrong; they can still justify their acts.
Work Delays
In this article, we will be talking about a man who was able to put a woman in her place correctly as well as get his revenge while doing so. Talk about hitting two birds in one stone! The man we are talking about works as a part of the construction team, and it does not require much thinking to see that loading up the construction materials is already a lot of work. However, the man encountered more work for him as a woman refused to move her car away to give way for their truck.
Work Delays
A Different Project
With the woman refusing to move her car away, the man thought that he would need help from his co-workers to get the woman’s car away. However, he realized that the time he would spend on bringing up the issue to the police could have been time spent working instead. The woman was seen to be ignoring their plea and was insulting them at the same time. Leading the man to come up with a plan that would put her in her place and make her regret what she did.
A Different Project
Parking Spots
The man we are taking about was hired as a foreman to be a part of the team building a new house. When it comes to work such as this, you can be sure that he is already an expert with jobs like these and any other work like this. You can say that because of his experience, this job would be very easy for him to do. But the task is a bit different this time, unlike his other works, they were tasked to build a house on top of a hill.
Parking Spots
Most Complied Quickly
On top of the challenge of building a house on a hill, what made their work harder is the fact that they have to climb a 250 feet footpath since it is the only way to get to the work are. Since the construction materials needed to be brought uphill, they have no choice but to bring it along with them as they climb. Due to the difficulties brought to them by the working conditions that they have, they would take a lot more time than usual.
Most Complied Quickly
A Mom Waiting For Her Child
At the foot of the hills, there was a street that had parking spots allotted specifically for them so that their work is a bit easier for them. Their parking slots were officially reserved for them, accompanied by official signs as well as “No Parking” signs. These signs were placed so that people would not bother them by parking at their spots. But it seems that not everyone can read and understand said signs despite its simplicity and how easy it is to spot them.
A Mom Waiting For Her Child
Still Wouldn’t Move
It is certainly stressful whenever people cannot comply with a simple rule nor instructions that are imposed. It is not much of a task to figure out that a sign is telling you to not park at specific spaces especially if they have “No Parking” or “Reserved Parking” signs. The foreman saw that there was an elementary school nearby the parking slots, which is why a lot of cars park there. There is no problem with them parking, just parked cars at the wrong spots and time.
Still Wouldn’t Move
A Brilliant Idea
The foreman saw no problem with people parking at their reserved slots as long as they would be able to use them for the time of the delivery of the materials that they would be using for the construction. The foreman is very considerate for this since others are not allowed to use the slots, yet he lets them. However, some people abuse the chance they have of parking there whenever they can.
A Brilliant Idea
Boxed In
The foreman usually does not mind it whenever people park at the construction worker’s reserved slot, but he cannot really inform the people to not park there ahead of time whenever a delivery is scheduled. What he usually does is simply ask the drivers to move to a different location and explains that a scheduled delivery will arrive. Most of the drivers would immediately comply and move elsewhere. Except for this one woman.
Boxed In
Calling The Authorities
Since it was the day for the lumber delivery, the foreman did what he always does before the truck arrives. He went to the parking slots to make sure that the trucks can park and there are no cars nearby. As he reached the parking slots, he saw a car parked in the reserved space, in which he also saw a woman sitting in the driver’s seat of the car.
Calling The Authorities
Her Ineffectual Rage
The day was like any other day for the foreman for it is not uncommon for cars to parked on the reserved slots on the day of a scheduled delivery. He would simply ask the car owner to move elsewhere to give way for the delivery, and the driver would simply comply. He thought that the woman was only waiting for her kid to come out, so as usual, he asked the woman politely. He was unaware that things will be a bit different this time.
Her Ineffectual Rage
No Backing Down
The foreman was surprised with what the woman did after he asked her politely. Not only was the woman parked at the wrong place and the wrong time, he also had the audacity to tell the foreman “I’ll just be a few minutes, and your truck isn’t here, take a chill pill dude”. Her response was something the foreman did not expect, he was taken aback by how rude the woman was. The truck arrived as he was trying to collect his thoughts.
No Backing Down
She Was Livid
The lumber delivery truck finally arrived, just in time before the woman and the foreman’s encounter escalated. The foreman thought that he was saved by the bell due to how timely the truck as arrived. This was not the case however as the woman did not even move an inch to move her car away despite the truck’s arrival. She also closed her windows and did her best to ignore the foreman. She then rolled her window down and gave a loud “WHAT?” when the foreman caught her attention by waving at her.
She Was Livid
Per Company Policy
Still surprised with how the woman acted on him, the foreman tried to stay compose and explained once more that the woman needed to move her car away from the parking slots must be vacated for them to be able to use it. The woman would not falter however as she said “Can’t you guys just unload around me? Jesus, it’s not that hard”. The foreman was shocked once more as the woman dismissed the polite request.
Per Company Policy
Showing Her Anger
This is surely one of the worst days that the foreman ever had in his job. He encountered a hard-headed woman who would not comply despite being in the wrong. Despite the rude woman’s harsh words that she spit out to the foreman, the foreman did not try to argue with her nor force his request. He came up with something else. He instructed the lumber truck driver to park the car parallel to the woman’s car as close as he possibly can.
Showing Her Anger
A Burst Of Rage
The foreman’s plan is definitely a good one! The lumber truck driver completely understood the foreman’s instruction and grinned as he did exactly what he was told to. The arrogant woman finally found her match, and she was about to get what she deserves! Near the area where the car and the truck were parked, is another car parked besides the reserved parking slots and a port-a-potty at the back of the woman’s car.
A Burst Of Rage
Getting Uncontrollable
The lumber truck driver definitely knew what the fuss was all about and what is about to come as he followed the foreman’s instruction. With them being able to block one side of the woman’s car, ending up with her car being boxed up in a curb, their plan was flawlessly done. It was a witty way of getting back at her whilst doing what she told them to. The woman did not even notice what just happened because of her attempt in ignoring the workers.
Getting Uncontrollable
Failed Attempt To Escape
As they finished executing the foreman’s plan, he only has one thing left to do. Which is to call the police parking enforcement officers and inform them of their current situation. The foreman said: “At this point in time I wasn’t trying to get her in trouble, I just wanted a record of why we were blocking part of the street, so we don’t get in trouble with the city”. Letting the officers handle a situation is the best way to handle it.
Failed Attempt To Escape
Lying To The Police Officer
The foreman believed that the whole quarrel will be over soon as he called the police parking officers so he could inform them of the situation. He was told by the officers that they would arrive in around 30 minutes. Plans did not go the way he thought would be as things got complicated when the woman’s son came out of the school. The woman found out that she could barely open the car when she was about to get out.
Lying To The Police Officer
Consequences
Seeing the situation that the woman was in at the time, you would think that she has learned her lesson and thought that she should have just moved away while she was given the chance. As the woman tried to get out of the car, the foreman thought of how the woman might correct what she did. That was not the case however as the woman once again showcased her rudeness and looked at him, making it look like at was the foreman who did something wrong.
Consequences
Retribution
The constructions workers surely found this situation funny, except for the woman obviously. She was obviously furious, but the foreman deemed it just right because of what she has done, and she was needed to be taught a lesson. The woman went to the passenger seat in order to get out of the car and took her son to the back of the car, but she did something that was unbelievably unacceptable after it.
Retribution
Holding Back
After placing her son in the back of the car, the woman realized that it was practically impossible for her to get her car out of the area, leading her to go and talk to the foreman and lumber truck driver. The two men were trying their best not to burst into laughter as the woman approached them. After realizing that the men would not back down and just let her go, she once again did something unthinkable.
Holding Back
Surveying The Scene
She was filled with rage, she was aware that she would not be able to get away unless the lumber truck driver moves and give her leeway for her to move. Her ways of getting out were blocked by a port-a-potty in the back, a huge truck to the left, and the curb to her right. She told them “I’m in a big hurry, you need to move your truck right now so I can go”.
Surveying The Scene
Epic Comeback
It does not come off as a surprise when the woman still acted rudely when she reached out to the foeman and the truck driver despite the fact that she was asking for a favor so she could leave. The men have everything planned however and they would not lose this fight. The driver told the lady: “Ma’am, in order to unload the lumber on the truck, we had to unstrap it, and per our company policy, I’m not allowed to move the truck with any unsecured load on it”.
Epic Comeback
The Spectacle
Another unexpected thing happened after their little chit chat. She was bursting in rage due to what was happening and the situation that she was in. The two men certainly added more to the anger that the woman has. Leading for the woman to eventually “blow up” and be consumed by her anger as she began throwing a fit and scream profanities whilst repetitively stating that she has somewhere to be.
The Spectacle
No Idea
The two men stood firm and remained calm as the woman continuously throw a fit of rage, cursing them and saying all sorts of stuff that she wants. She was unaware that the police traffic enforcement officer finally arrived just at the back of the truck. Everything was going well for the guys as knowing that the officer will be hearing what the woman was saying will be an advantage for them.
No Idea
Rising Tides
With all the hateful remarks that the woman poured unto the men, they remained calm. They were certain that the woman will not be able to get out of the situation as the officer was already there and could hear what she was bursting out. The foreman was not finished with her yet though as he told her: “Can’t you just pull out around it? It’s not that hard”, leading the woman to be even angrier and shout more.
Rising Tides
Taking Action
The police officer finally decided to come to the position of the truck driver and the foreman. As the woman saw the officer, she drove in reverse! Even if it meant crashing into the port-a-potty placed behind her car, it was both the best and only way out that she could think of. Without any bit of hesitation, she knocked the port-a-potty down, and she was not done with that!
Taking Action
Reckless
The woman’s actions surprised the police officer, the foreman and the lumber truck driver! They did not anticipate the lengths that the woman would go to just because she did not get things in her way. The woman was charged with reckless driving for driving all the way to the actual sidewalk. The three of them were visibly stunned with what the woman pulled off and were definitely unprepared for that.
Reckless
Failure
The three of them had a lot of questions in their mind regarding what the woman just did. They just cannot piece out the reasons as to why the woman did all of that. We would never know if it is because she desperately needed to be elsewhere, or she was desperate to get out of her situation. Not only did she fail in escaping despite crashing the portable potty, her car was also stuck halfway down the curb! And it does not stop there.
Failure
Consequences
She was definitely in a lot of trouble. The police traffic enforcement officer walked towards the woman’s car and asked her to get out. She absolutely has no right to refuse the officer’s request seeing that what she just did is obviously questionable. As she was out of the car, the officer wasted no time and cuffed her hands right away. She was instructed to sit on the curb as the officer was waiting for her backup.
Consequences
Deep Trouble
As you look at the situation, it is no secret that the woman was in big trouble. While she was near the officer, the woman took her chance for everything to be in her side once more. In a desperate attempt to save herself, she told the officer that she was not informed of the truck’s arrival and was told by the foreman that she was allowed to stay at the reserved slots.
Deep Trouble
Not Having It
The woman’s luck has certainly run out as the police officer did not believe a single word that the woman said. The woman did her best to manipulate and turn the story around, but the police officer told her that they were already informed of the situation beforehand about how she refused to move and give way for the truck. It was certainly a terrible day for the rude woman.
Not Having It
Impending Doom
The woman finally got what she deserved. She was not able to have her way this time despite doing what she always does as she finally met someone who could match her. The foreman recalled: “While myself and the driver are giving a report to the second officer, my guys finish moving the remainder of the lumber, and the driver finishes his statement and takes off to go back to the yard.”.
Impending Doom
Arrested
The foreman mentioned that by the end of the horrible confrontation, the woman was arrested and charged with reckless driving, destruction of property, and driving on a suspended license. She was certainly in huge trouble, even having the audacity to drive around with a suspended license. Her car was towed later on after the ordeal. How will she ever get out of the situation she is in? And what are her punishments? Let us see!
Arrested
Heeding Advice
The foreman said that he was actually surprised that the woman would heed her advice to just “pull out around” when he said that. However, he believes that the woman might think twice about doing that in a tow-away zone one she gets her license again. The foreman also mentioned that the woman’s mother came to pick up the little boy because the woman is going to be in jail due to the problems and destruction that she made.
Heeding Advice
Responses
We all have something to learn from this woman’s story. It would certainly be better if the schools would prevent parents from doing similar stuff when they would come to pick up their kids. The school near the parking slot surely learned their lesson the hard way. They probably not expecting for an occurrence like this to happen, especially if the cause of the issue is non-compliance to a simple instruction.
Responses
Painful Read
We all know the feeling when we are watching some frightening or sensational film while the main characters take all the wrong decisions. It always feels like second-hand embarrassment, seeing it unfold knowing that it is a painful thing to see and it’s making the situation worse.
Painful Read
Plot Twist
If you were reading from the start of the story, chances are, you were not expecting for the story to reach this point, or were you? It is certainly surprising that a simple refusal of moving the car would lead to all this commotion. There is no doubt that the woman probably regrets her decisions by now. It was also surprising to find out that all this time, she was driving with a suspended license! Could things take an even worse turn for her?
Plot Twist
Worth It
A lot of people believed that this story is a good one, especially because it is a story of a terrible person finally receiving a taste of their own medicine. It is only right for a person to be put in their place especially if they are acting like the woman in the story. You should never expect something good if you treat others terribly. Always remember that you should treat people the way you want to be treated.
Worth It
Surprising
The woman surely handled the situation poorly and brought everything that happened to herself. There is no one else to blame but herself especially if she could have just made simple adjustments to prevent the whole thing from happening. Despite being in the wrong, she still acted out and did terrible things to the workers. We are unsure as to why she did such acts of rudeness, but it is probably because she thought that she will be able to get away with it.
Surprising
Not Over
This woman is not alone when it comes to attitude problems like this. There are a lot of people who are quite similar to the woman who was arrested. Someone who does not care about the rules and believes that they are able to get away with anything they do just by displaying how rude they can be. There is a story about a woman from Ohio who acted similarly when she came across a school bus and had to stop.
Not Over
Being Sneaky
Shena Hardin came across a school and had to stop behind it. Despite being aware of the fact that a school bus was in front of her, she still looked for alternative ways to avoid the situation. Do you have any guesses on what she might have done? She drove up on the sidewalk. Despite the sidewalk is where the bus was unloading the children, she still did it. Can you imagine what could have happened afterward?
Being Sneaky
Caught
Everything she did was captured on camera. It was enough evidence for Shena Hardin to be brought to the police station. Upon further investigation, they also found out that Shena Hardin has not done it for the first time. Multiple times in fact! She is certainly someone who does not care about what might happen because of her actions, especially going up the curb where a school bus was unloading children.
Caught
Going To Court
Shena Hardin believed that just like before, she could get away with what she did, just like the other times she had done it. But things are different this time. As the court trial started, Shena Hardin did not show up in court, but her act was not something unexpected. A lot of times, she would laugh in court appearances as if she did not regret anything that she had done. Lisa Kelley (a mother of one of the students who boards the bus) however, has a lot to say about her.
Going To Court
Onlookers
On the court trial, Lisa Kelly told the court: “She is an idiot, just like her sign says. She did this almost every day last year. She would not stop laughing. She is not remorseful, she laughed at every court appearance. She’s still laughing, so she needs to be humiliated like this.” What sign could the mother be talking about? What might possibly be written on the signs of Shena Hardin?
Onlookers
Judge’s Orders
After trial finally ended, Shena Hardin finally got what she deserved. She was ordered by the judge of the court to pay a 250-dollar fine and adding more to that would be her license being suspended for 30 days, preventing her from driving for a long time. The judge also added another punishment. She had something up in her sleeve for Shena Hardin. What could the judge’s additional punishment for her be?
Judge’s Orders
Teaching A Lesson
The judge has a different approach in teaching Shena Hardin a lesson. The judge knew that the fine and suspension of her license are clearly not enough since she might end up doing the same once she gets her license once again. Which is why she added another consequence. She ordered Shena to put up a sign on the corner where the kids are waiting for their school bus which says: “Only an idiot would drive on the sidewalk to avoid a school bus.”
Teaching A Lesson
Punishment
Shena was paying for the atrocities that she committed. Aside from the fine and her license suspension, she was asked to stand on the corner where the kids wait and hold up a sign. She was instructed to do it for an hour on Tuesday and another hour for the next day. It is usually an easy task if the weather is good. But it was very cold outside due to the temperature dropping to 34 degrees. She was instructed to do this to inform others of what she did.
Punishment
Cold Weather
Shena Hardin did what she was ordered to do. In order to protect herself from the cold, she wore multiple layers of clothes to keep her warm. While she held up the sign, she actively tried to avoid eye contact from the passerby’s and the cars honking at her. She just kept quiet and let everything be. She probably realized that what she was doing actively put kids in danger. We certainly hope she learned her lesson.
Cold Weather
Asking Questions
A man saw everything that Sherna Hardin did. His name was Bill, and upon seeing Sherna, He shouted and questioned her by saying: “Why do you hate kids? How else are you going to stop her from doing it again? She really didn’t show remorse for her action after being caught, so you’ve got to try something.” We can only hope that Sherna Hardin listened to what Bill said and tried her best to change.
