You know those drivers who treat their Tesla like it’s the crown jewel of the parking lot? One Redditor, a 25-year-old fuel delivery driver, had a run-in with exactly that type.
While making his rounds at a gas station, he needed access to the underground tanks – standard stuff. But one woman, proudly parked in her gleaming Tesla, refused to move when asked. Her response? A snappy “Get bent!”
Instead of arguing, he got creative. He parked his fuel truck two inches from her bumper, switched to his slowest hose, and let her sit there for an hour and a half while he calmly finished his delivery.
When she finally peeled out in frustration, karma hit – literally. She sped straight into oncoming traffic and totaled her car.
Want the full gas-soaked showdown? Let’s fill up on the details.
The Setup: When Entitlement Meets a Fuel Truck
Our Redditor was on a normal delivery route, unloading gas into a station’s underground tanks. He’d set up cones and safety signs – clear indicators that certain parking spots were off-limits. But Miss Tesla didn’t care. She slid right in next to the store entrance, ignoring the cones completely.
When he politely asked her to move, she rolled her eyes and barked, “Get bent!” Then she strutted inside to grab her coffee, leaving him stuck. That’s when he decided two could play at that game.
He maneuvered his massive truck right up to her Tesla, blocking her in completely. With quiet satisfaction, he started pumping gas through his slowest hose – dragging the process out just enough to make her regret her words.
For the next ninety minutes, she fumed behind the glass, pacing, glaring, and calling the cops (who sided with the driver once they saw the safety setup).
By the time he wrapped up and moved his truck, the tension was thick enough to cut with a butter knife.
The Explosion: A Tantrum Turns Into Totalled Metal
As soon as the fuel driver cleared the area, the Tesla owner jumped in her car and stomped on the accelerator – without looking.
In her rage, she tore straight into the street… and right into the side of a lifted pickup truck. The crunch echoed through the station.
Her once-pristine Tesla was now a crumpled heap. Airbags deployed. Fluids leaking. The driver? Safe but humiliated.
The cops who’d earlier sided with the fuel guy watched the aftermath unfold like a live episode of Instant Karma: Parking Edition.
Expert Opinion: The Psychology of Entitled Drivers
The Tesla driver’s behavior fits a familiar pattern. According to a 2023 AAA study, 79% of drivers admit to aggressive actions, like tailgating, honking, or refusing to yield.
Psychologist Dr. Leon James, author of Road Rage and Aggressive Driving, explains, “Entitled drivers often prioritize control and convenience over safety, escalating minor conflicts into dangerous ones.”
That’s exactly what happened here. She saw a worker and assumed her time mattered more than his job.
The fuel driver’s calm, rule-abiding response flipped the power dynamic. And when she finally regained “control,” she lost it all, literally.
It’s a perfect example of natural consequences meeting human impatience.
A Lesson in Calm Revenge
While some might call his move petty, others see it as poetic. He didn’t yell, threaten, or damage property.
He simply followed protocol and let her stew in her own impatience. And when karma finally showed up in the form of a T-bone collision, he hadn’t lifted a finger.
It’s the kind of revenge that doesn’t break rules but still delivers results.
Relationship and workplace expert Dr. Carla Marie Manly put it best in Psychology Today:
“Responding calmly to disrespect disarms hostility and exposes arrogance.”
That’s exactly what this driver did. His quiet confidence made her tantrum stand out even more.
Why This Story Resonates
We’ve all met someone like the Tesla driver: someone who refuses to move, listen, or consider anyone else’s time.
That’s why stories like this hit so hard. They remind us that patience and professionalism can be powerful weapons.
The irony? Her demand for convenience caused the ultimate inconvenience.
Check out how the community responded:
Many praised the driver for keeping his cool and letting karma do the work, calling it “petty perfection.”
Others shared their own run-ins with entitled drivers, agreeing that patience can be the most satisfying revenge.
A few even joked that “Tesla’s autopilot couldn’t save her from bad decisions.”
This gas-station saga proves one thing: karma has impeccable timing. A Tesla driver’s refusal to show basic respect ended with her car in pieces and her ego deflated.
Meanwhile, the fuel delivery guy walked away calm, collected, and vindicated.
Was his slow delivery a stroke of petty genius or a bit too far? Maybe both. But one thing’s certain – if you ever tell a fuel truck driver to “get bent,” don’t be surprised if the universe takes your words for a ride.
So, how would you handle a parking lot diva? Would you let it slide – or let karma do the driving?
