Sometimes we find ourselves in awkward situations, especially when it's over a finite resource like parking. There are plenty of times handicapped parking spot hogs need to be taught a lesson, but this situation has a more complex backstory than some rando just illegally occupying a handicapped parking space at the store. The most important thing to do in these situations is to take a step back and think "why am I in this situation?" In this case, it seems like the apartment manager may be the one to blame for all this madness.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/itsmyparkingspot, whose story serves as yet another example of an apartment manager's negligence and lack of accountability. It's actually wild that the two people being pitted against one another in this situation are two tenants when the reality is, if they united against the apartment manager, they would both have a far greater likelihood of getting what they were promised. May this apartment manager join the ranks of countless others who stand by while their tenants suffer. When will this vicious cycle end?

    Font - That evening (5:30pm) when I got home the van was parked partially in my space so that I couldn't use it. I had her number so I called. When she picked up she said something snarky like "isn't it annoying to have to wait on someone." I told her the difference was I could have her towed and if she wasn't down here in 5 minutes I would. She told me I wouldn't dare and hung up on me. I waited the 5 minutes and called the tow company. It took the company about 30 minutes to get there and tow

If you're entitled to the space you have as part of your lease, then you shouldn't need to give it up. This is on the manager for not having more accessible parking spots handy.

    Font - fruitandboot Certified Proctologist [27] 19 hours ago · edited 14 hours ago NTA! I'm appalled at how they asked you to give up your spot in the first place. This place does not sound accessable and she shouldn't have moved in, assuming that she knew this before hand. She has NO right to treat you like this. Wtf? That apartment manager is shady AF. There has to be some way that the apartment manager can be held liable here legally. Too bad the lady is taking it out on you rather than them,

    Font - Graxakinem Partassipant [4] 16 hours ago Totally NTA. I think the woman also isn't at fault here, but the manager is. He lied to her about her having a spot she could park in.
