Road Closed for a very good reason
In early 1971 my family moved to a new home on a street paved with asphalt that was more patch and potholes than intact pavement. In 1999 the city came through and patched the concrete curbs where the curbs had been broken.
That was the precursor to the next year when they finally closed the road for weeks while they tore up the old pavement, rebuilt the road bed and then of course repaved the road with fresh asphalt (or recycled, which is just as good).
Everyone in the neighborhood was forewarned and couple Churches offered their parking lots for use except on Sundays for the residents to park their vehicles and walk to their homes because the road was completely closed and blockaded.
Despite that there was always and individual or four who just couldn't abide with the closure and would go around the barricades anyway.
About half-way down the block from my parents house (I had moved out in the late 70's) there was the low point where water always filled the road from curb to curb after every rain and of course while the pavement was out we had one really hard rain which of course filled the now empty road from curb to curb with water that went downhill to the low spot and created a very nice mud pit.
I was visiting my mother that day (father having passed) and we were sitting on the front porch enjoying the lack of traffic when one those entitled idiots came down the street and found the mud pit was much deeper than his pickup tires were tall and got himself nicely stuck.
So after amusing us for a while with his efforts to drive out of the mud he got out of his pickup and walked back down the block and stopped to ask the neighbor across the street if he had a chain he could borrow to get himself unstuck. The neighbor said "no" so he crossed the street and asked us if we had a chain and we answered "no" then he walked off to call a tow truck (this was before widespread cell phone use though by that time I was carrying one but I wasn't volunteering).
We then talked across the street with the neighbor who noted that he DID have a chain but not one he'd loan to that idiot and we told him we had one too and that was also our thought on loaning the chain as well.
We watched as he got a tow truck to come and haul him out of the hole. Mother later told me that three other vehicles managed to get trapped in that hole as well before they got the new pavement in.
But still, while it was petty it was also malicious as we both had chains, but neither was up for loan to someone who wasn't smart enough to stay off of a closed road.
