Permit me this small moment of venting, but I'm pissed off and my wife is even more so, so hear me out. We live in a subdivision with assigned perpendicular parking spots - 2 per townhouse. For us, that's me and my wife, so not a problem. Visitors will occasionally park in other spots, which pisses me off a bit, but there's a visitor spot about 75 feet from my house that's always open, so no big deal. There is a sign at the entrance to the subdivision that towing is enforced.
Tonight I'm at work and I get a text from my wife that someone is in my spot. She says she wants to leave a note, so I tell her to go for it. She says her note said "Please don't park in our spot. Thanks!" The spots are numbered with the house numbers, so anyone who gets a note will know which house it's from. I get home and the spot is empty. I walk up to the door and there's a piece of paper on the ground that says "Please don't touch my car. Thanks."
I showed it to my wife, who was LIVID. I was pretty pissed off, too. I mean, I work nights, and it was snowing pretty heavily when I got off work tonight. I don't deserve to have to search for a spot because of some douche. We're not positive which unit the guy was visiting, but she noticed the car (white sedan, spoiler) and we've got it narrowed down to two places. The way I see it, we have two courses of action we can take.
- Go talk to the two apartments and ask if they had a visitor last night who drove a white sedan. Let them know of the rudeness of their guest and ask them to pass it along while threatening to tow.
- Wait until the dude comes back (he's parked in the spot before). Call tow company, grab a beer, sit outside and watch the fun. (This option sounds much more satisfying, but there's no guarantee dude will be back.)
What say you, SJ nation?
