I lived in an apt. complex. I had a numbered cover stall for both of my spots, I was on the end. My 2nd spot was next to the big dumpsters that we were able to use for cardboard and recycling.

I had 2 cars for my apartment. I come home and there’s a Honda civic parked in my spot. I had to park in guest parking about 200 ft away and haul my groceries to my apt. I was livid. I had 2 bags almost break and had to set half the stuff down and make multiple trips.

I finally get everything into my apt. put away and go out and look around to see if I could find anyone standing around that I could ask but there was no one.

I wrote a note saying this was a reserved spot for my apt, and you were parking in my spot please move your car to the guest spots please. (This was around 7pm iirc)

I woke up the next morning and the stupid Honda was still there and the note had been removed.. to make it worse. I could see the note on the passenger seat!!! Grrrr!!! They read it and still didn’t move!!

So I’m sitting there trying to figure out what to do and our trash guy shows up and says hey do you know anything about the lock and chain on the gate for the recycles? I told him no I didn’t why? He said he has to figure out how to lock the gate so people don’t steal the cans until he can get a replacement lock and chain, he mentioned he was going to park his truck sideways there but it would block my parking spot.

Lightbulb moment. Block my spot? giggles. I said that’s ok you can block my spot I’m not using it at the moment and don’t need too for awhile because my car is parked next to it, and my other one is over there, pointing to the guest spot area.

He said oh thank you! He proceeded to back up his big ass commercial truck with the forklift things on the front of it, and got out yelled thank you so much I’ll be back as soon as I can as he ran over to the small pickup truck they usually drove, I yelled back take your time!

Smirk.
