All Who Use That Spot Will Pay, One Way Or Another

When I rented, the parking lot was assigned parking. The first space was complimentary, but my wife and I both had cars, so I had to pay for the extra spot.

We came home around 1:00 am one night, and some idiot was parked in my spot. Not having it and not wanting to deal with an overnight parking ban on the street, I parked behind him perpendicularly to block him into my spot. The neighbouring spot belonged to my caretaker, who was the chillest guy I’ve ever rented from. I shot him a text explaining and asking him to call me if he needed to get his car out before me in the morning. He laughed and said all was good.

After about an hour of watching TV, at 2:00 am, I went out for a smoke and noticed that the car in my spot was running. I watched the driver frantically looking around for whose car was parked behind him. He saw me and started complaining about it, not knowing it was mine.

Driver: “Ugh! I just want to go home! I don’t understand why some people gotta be such a**holes!”

Me: “Maybe the owner of the car was mad because you were in his spot. Some people pay extra monthly for another spot.”

He gave up and went back into his buddy’s unit. I went inside and went to bed.

I went out in the morning to go out for a bit, and the guy was sitting on his buddy’s doorstep. I waved, got in my car, and left. I made that a**hole sit trapped all night until 9:00 am. The look on his face as I entered my car was priceless.
