I get home today, and someone is in my designated parking spot. I picked a spot in the lot that has an empty spot on either side of it (to avoid door dings), so I was able to find a parking spot with no problem, so I'm not really pissed about it. But at the same time, I do pay $200/mo extra for a parking spot, so if they keep it up then we will have a problem.

But since I'm off work today and it's raining, I have some free time and I thought it would be fun to mess with the person. Not in a "flatten their tires" way, more of a "calling you out but not in a pissed off" way so that they don't do it again.

I'm open to any ideas from the OT, and Happy 4th to y'all.

If it is designated as yours, call a tow truck now.

just leave a note and explain most days the lot is full and you would need to tow them away but in the future, please be considerate of where you park.

Don't be a child. Leave a note. If it happens again have them towed.

I parked in some guys spot one day after I made groceries and his spot was right next to the door in the parking garage. It was I. A Sunday and most of the people in the garage only use it m-f so I didn't think much of it. Well I forgot to move my truck from the spot and Monday afternoon when I went to get In my truck I had an amazing note from the guy. Wish I remembered what it said but it was pretty damn clever.

I actually took the note and wrote something back to him and then explained the situation how it was the weekend and I was carrying groceries and left it on his truck the next day(guessing it was his since it was in the spot)

My truck wasn't too far from his so was hoping for some comical back and forth but he didn't participate.

What I'm trying to say is don't get your panties in a wad over something so trivial, guy may have had to drop an old person off and it was the closest spot and forgot to move the car after. People take life too serious. It's like the people that circle the rouses parking lot 8 times for 15 minutes to try and get 3 spots closer to the entrence.

Leave them a note that says it's your parking spot, please never park here again.

Then write down "I farted on your car as your payment for today".

Get some small, black wheel chocks and put them behind the front passenger and rear passenger tires. They won't know what to do when they put it in reverse and they don't move. If they gun it, they'll have a nice surprise if they make it over the chocks.

Leave a note now. Have them towed if they do it again.

I had a similar problem. People used to park to where I couldn't get out of my garage. The drive directly outside my garage was next to a stairwell. Because of that I couldn't turn my car until I was almost completely out of the garage. I had to back straight out cut my wheel hard to the right, cut back left & out the drive (see red arrow).



One morning I went out to leave for work & a car is parked parallel to the fence directly behind my car. It's a no parking zone, meaning they could tow my car if I parked it directly behind my garage. I worked my way out cutting & pulling up, then backing up, over & over that time. I put a note on the car telling him it would get towed next time.

Very next day I wake up to the same thing. I blew my horn several times, tried the backing up, cutting, pulling up, cutting, backing up thing again and dented my fender on the facing of my garage door. I immediately called the number on the sign, then sat waiting.

When the tow truck was backing up to hook up to the car, the guy ran out yelling in Spanish. His gf came out and begged them not to tow the car. They argued & the tow truck left.

The square you can see on the door is the tape that was around a "No Parking" sign I put up. Been years since I've been over there. If I still live there, I'd probably have another sign up by now.
