A cautionary tale about inconsiderate parking: after a man’s polite warnings were ignored, he used trucks to block a pickup truck parked obstructively with the parking brake engaged. When the owner came to retrieve the vehicle, he was sent to discuss the issue with the village management committee as a formal measure.
On 6 September 2026, a post by Facebook user "Piyasak Pichetnawin" went viral on social media. He shared photos of a pickup truck parked by the roadside, tightly blocked front and back by two trucks. The caption explained that someone had parked in front of his house for four days and three nights. The owner was unknown, as was the vehicle’s purpose or whether it was involved in any illegal activity. The truck had dark tinted windows, making visibility impossible. He joked that if there were a corpse inside, it would be decomposing and emitting a strong odor.
He noted the owner’s excellent manners: the parking brake was engaged, and a large rope was tied at the back. The license plate showed Lopburi province. A polite note was taped to the windshield, asking the owner to move the vehicle elsewhere. The note was removed early in the morning, but the truck remained. Concerned that his staff might lose patience, he used a forklift to move the truck to a spot where it could not be driven away, whether the owner’s vehicle was wet or dry waste—he left it to fate. He assured the truck was safe and invited the owner to stay as long as they liked without worrying. The man complained the owner parked here with no regard for others’ inconvenience, so he arranged for the truck to be held for a few months. He added it helped reduce pollution by preventing black smoke emissions, promoting environmental care.
The owner apparently began to understand the meaning of consideration. He quickly came forward, not wanting the man to struggle with caring for the vehicle, and offered over 100 excuses during conversations with his staff. The one acceptable explanation was that he would not repeat the behavior. At first, the man told him that having parked for several days already, another two months would not be a problem. He suggested the owner needed to cure his lack of consideration gradually, as it had become a bad habit requiring time to fix. He asked to see proof of ownership, fearing impostors trying to retrieve a vehicle he had carefully looked after for days. It turned out the man was the real owner.
In the end, it was revealed the owner was a relative of someone renting a nearby house. He had parked aggressively, like a racing pickup truck driver. The man then sent him to talk formally with the village chairman and the tenant, making it a proper matter. The situation caused the owner considerable inconvenience, so the man had his staff move his own vehicle—coincidentally with the parking brake engaged as well. He added, "Next time you come, I’ll prepare better tools ready to serve you. I guarantee satisfaction at every level, as this model is popular in neighboring countries."
After the post was widely shared, many people commented, praising the detailed description and lack of insults. Comments included "Well-spelled 'consideration,'" and "An excellent solution addressing both short- and long-term problems, well done!" among others.
When asked, the Facebook owner briefly stated that from this incident, he hoped people would consider others as they wish to be considered themselves, enabling everyone to live comfortably together.
