Took the family out to eat at Applebee’s. The parking lot was packed, but I spotted a guy heading to his car, so I waited about 10 minutes for him to pull out. Just as he left, a car full of young girls swooped in and stole my spot.
You know the type. I rolled down my window and told them I’d been waiting for that space. The driver just smirked and said, “Too bad.
Your name wasn’t on it.”
Livid, but keeping my cool, I found another spot, parked, and went inside to eat. While we enjoyed our meal, I noticed the girls at the bar, taking shots and getting completely wasted. That’s when inspiration struck.
When we finished, I slipped our waiter a $20 and gave him a simple task: Wait 10 minutes after we leave, then go up to the girls and tell them someone called, saying their car just got keyed. Now, let me be clear—I DID NOT KEY THEIR CAR. About an hour later, I called the waiter to see how it went.
He could barely talk from laughing. Apparently, the girls lost their minds—screaming, freaking out, even calling the cops. Here’s where it gets even better.
The police arrived, checked the car, and found zero damage. But they did notice something else—the girls were too wasted to drive. The cops left, circled the lot, and waited.
Sure enough, not long after, the girls stumbled out, got in the car, and started the engine. BOOM! Parking lot lit up in blue lights.
DUI arrests all around. I didn’t hear about the bonus until a week later when I went back for a beer. The same waiter saw me, still laughing about it, and filled me in on what happened.
I handed him another $20. Best $40 I ever spent—and I kept some drunk drivers off the road.
