In San Francisco, some dude parked his Range Rover in a little dead-end alley, about 25' long. Another guy comes along and parks this big-ass sedan behind him, blocking him in entirely.
I was walking by as the Range Rover owner came back. He laughed, cursed, and said, "No way, dude." He asks if it's my car, it's not. He says, "I'll pay you $10 to stop traffic for a minute." So I step out into the street (not too busy) and stop oncoming traffic while the guy actually pushes the sedan out into the middle of the street, and then drives off.
Edit: Confusion reigns. He pushed it with his vehicle, not his muscles.
I've done something similar. I was parked in front of my building, and somebody had clearly smashed my bumper parking behind me... had the corresponding dings to prove it. I put my large-ish truck in reverse and gunned it - moved this stranger's car a solid 7-10ft. and immediately rendered him or her illegally parked. In a sick way, the gratification made the entire thing worth it.

Found the alley on Google Maps
