    Don't Bother You Anymore. Fine, I Won't. M OC I used to live in and apartment building that had shops on the main level. The building next door was the same. The two buildings shared a wall. My building had assigned parking and yellow paper notes to put in our car windows. A restaurant opened up in

    the building next door. Their owner, manager, and staff began parking in my spot as well a our neighbours'. I spoke to the owner, and she said she would talk to them again, but didn't think it would help. They were even parking in her spot.

    Every night, I would get home, call them and ask that the vehicle be moved. I was getting tired of this, when one night they put the manager on because they were busy and didn't have time to deal with my request. He did do it, but told me they wouldn't do it again and I was to stop calling them. I suggested they stop parking in my assigned spot. He told me he had too many staff to control where they

    parked, and he was sure they were not parking in my spot and it was probably a customer. You know, because customers always park behind a business and then walk around to the front to get in. The next time I worked (I worked evening shifts), I got home and this time there was a Range Rover parked

    in my spot. I dutifully called the tow truck and not the restaurant. I had to wait for a second tow truck because the first one was not equipped to move a vehicle of that type. Something about being jacked up and stuff. They explained it and the wait was because I didn't know enough to be able to answer their questions about the truck

    so they could send out the right truck first. They towed it, and I went in and went to bed. A few hours later I was awakened by a phone call from the towing company. I had towed the owner and he was telling them that it was his parking spot and that I had no right to tow

    bye and I never heard anything more about it. I also was able to park in my spot after. I told my neighbour and he told me just to be safe, I should tell the owner of the other building. I popped into her shop and told her. She replied with something to the effect of, "you towed

    the Range Rover!" I said yes. She started to laugh and basically said good for you and told me to was the restsurant owner's truck. Still makes me smile when I think of

    Quoth666 3 hr. ago I once suggested to someone that it wasn't a good idea to park (across two of our spaces) in our private car park as the ticket guy would be hear soon, to be told to "fok off you busy cont". I let him walk off and took a picture of his car, and submitted it to the company that actually issues the tickets, for I am the ticket guy. Hope he enjoyed his £80 lesson in manners.

    time I had a 7 am shift the next day they would have entertainment or a private party after closing with extremely loud music. It's the only time I've ever been happy for a fire.
