    Neighbor kept parking in my spot, so I gave her a taste of her own medicine Alright, so this might not be the pettiest thing out there, but it felt amazing at the time. My apartment complex has assigned parking spots, and each unit has one spot that's, you know, yours. For weeks, my new neighbor started parking in my spot after work. At first, I let it slide-figured she just got confused or whatever. But when it kept happening, I left a polite note asking her to please use her own spot.

    The next day, I come home, and yep, her car is there again. She crumpled my note and left it under her wiper, like she was proud of ignoring it! So, I decided I'd just use her spot instead. Every day, without fail, I parked right in her designated spot.

    It took two days before she started leaving notes on my car asking me to stop. I kept switching spots with her until she finally knocked on my door to "confront" me. I just acted clueless and told her, "Oh, I thought we were doing a swap since you were using mine!" She sputtered out some excuse, but she finally stopped. Now, every time I pull into my spot and see her car not there, it's a tiny little win.

Luckily, there was enough space for others to get past my car. The next morning the parking ah le banged on my door and demanded I move my car. I made them wait nearly an hour while I showered and dressed before releasing my automotive hostage. They were very late for work and never parked in my spot again.

    Brwndevil ⚫4h ago When I used to live in an apartment with assigned parking spots, and people decided to park in my spot I would complain to the office. They told me I could just have them towed and to call x company. So I did, EVERY SINGLE TIME. Man it was so satisfying

    NarwhalTerrible... 5h ago What the actual f is wrong with some people... How does she think that works, she decided that any parking spot is fine but is surprised that you don't put up with it and just take hers? What did she expect and why would she even care that you put your car there if she clearly doesn't intend to use it. You played her stupid game right back at her instead of letting your frustrations win so however small it is, given her reaction it was a very successful revenge

    nojdanzig • 5h ago. My neighbour has a camper van, large estate and daughter got a car too. I didn't have a car for the first 5 years in my house but the minute I got a car it became a bitchfest with them saying they needed the space. They have a driveway but rarely used it. I said if they chose to block me in like they were threatening to do, I'd be banging on their front door at 5am so I can go to work.

    • jcp012000 3h ago. I used to live in an apartment complex with assigned parking, and the office manager would always let her boyfriend park in my spot. She had an apartment there but he did not live in the complex. One day I peered in and saw that his car door was unlocked and I turned on the headlamps and it drained the battery. Early next morning he was late for work and very angry that his car wouldn't start. He never parked there again

    Middle_Spite6309 2h ago • . Years ago, my now ex wife and I went to a friend's apartment complex, she told us to park in her spot, car was in the shop. Got there and someone had parked in her spot, not anyone we knew. So we parked in another and ran in really quick to nab her friend and get off on our trip. Came out and our car was being lifted on a tow truck. Ex ran to the drivers side with the front end up a few feet and jumped in, said "you're not

    taking my car, we parked here because someone parked in our friend's spot". Driver was pred but said "which spot is your friends?" I pointed, he dropped our car and hooked up the other and drove off. The little wins!

    Rinbox 5h ago • Well that was a nice way of resolving it... I would have just called the towing company. They learn real quick that way

    NotYourNanny • 3h ago When I moved into my current place, the landlord told me that if someone parked in my assigned spot, just call the tow company number on the signs posted all over the parking area. For some reason, I've never had to do so.
