What is the best way to flatten someone's tires? Some idiot keeps parking in front of my driveway and blocking the road and I'm getting really sick of it. Should I just put some tacks behind the back tires? Would tails work better? Or what about pouring sugar in the gas tank? Does that really work?

* Nails.. not tails. Although I'm sure it'd be fairly entertaining if I placed a bunch of detached animal tails around their car.

You could always try peeing on the windshield in the winter time. They can't see through the yellow sheet of ice...and then watch them try to scrape it off. Oh man, that always works like a charm.

the best way, and few knows how to fix it..
take out the valve stem. Just take it out most the way. It wont fill with air, and he will have to bring it to a shop, pay $25 for a dude to resrew it in. You can pick up a stem tool at Menards or any car parts store for less then $5. And its handy to have around if you work on any sort of tire weather its a bike or car. The whole sugar thing is a felnoy, so don't do that, plus it don't work too well. If you want to have some more fun..... undo 3 out of 5 of his left front tire (the drive wheel) then whatch him drive maybe 20 feet and lose his tire. He wont go anywhere anytime soon. A patato in the exhust is funny too. Just make sure there is no holes anywhere else in the pipes, or it wont work right.
Though you can just call the cops about it, if he blocks your exit or entrance to a private or public drive he is illegal, so a nice parking ticket and he wont do it again.

All you have to do is depress the schrader valve in the tire stem (with a straight blade screwdriver or similar thin narrow tool) until it's flat. It won't damage the tire but it might get your point across.
But then, the thing will be stuck blocking your driveway. If it were me, I'd just call the cops and have it towed.

Big Red cones in the road on either side of your driveway... like a little landing strip. Problem Solved!

Just fuse a couple of really long nails into the shape of an "X", so no matter which way they fall, one points upwards. After a couple of times, he'll learn not to park there.

You do have the right to have a vehicle towed if it is blocking your driveway. If it is blocking the roadway call the police and they will tow it and fine the owner. Good Luck.

Actually, bleach in the gas tank will really screw up his car but that will also land you in hot water and likely charged with vandalism so just call the cops.

do you really want to start something like this? if he is not on your property you may get sued. just call the police on him and have them give him a ticket! pour some water in his gas, it will inconvenience him, but he will be able to get it out with some additives.
