If you've ever lived somewhere that has a challenging parking situation (i.e., by the beach, in a college town, or anywhere that's overflowing with multi-unit apartment buildings), you've probably had your fair share of parking squabbles. Fairly everyone usually tries to park as conservatively as possible, abiding by unspoken rules against double parking and blocking someone in a spot, but not every driver understands the high stakes of low-parking availability areas. 

This college girl in our next story had to teach her entitled roommate a lesson in parking etiquette after she repeatedly took advantage of their designated spots, double-parked, and left her friend out circling for a street spot at midnight. Well, in college they teach you to think critically about life and the world itself, so perhaps this roommate will be thinking twice the next time she tries to double-park… That is if she ever gets her car back from the impound lot.

    She just apologizes and promises to remember. Well, she hasn't and it's been going on for months now.

    AITA for getting my roommate's car towed and her parking pass revoked? I (23f) have three roommates: Sarah (22f), Jenny (24f), and Lucy (20f). Our apartment

    we have to park in an odd arrangement. We have four spots designated for our apartment. The only issue is the first two spots get blocked in by the second two spots.

    We had a system that worked perfectly for a couple of weeks. Since Jenny and I often left the earliest and came home the latest, Sarah and Lucy would park in the first two spots, and we would park behind them.

    Recently, Lucy has started parking in my spot instead of pulling forward to her spot. This meant I would often get home from a long day of work or school and have to either call Lucy to come down and move her car, or I would have to park two blocks away and walk back home.

    I confronted Lucy about this many times, and she always used the same excuses that she was tired, busy, had somewhere to go later, etc. I have emphasized to her many times that I currently work two

    Lucy recently went home for Thanksgiving and left her car parked in my spot for a week and a half. I got fed up with it and decided to go speak to our complex manager. She was super sweet and said she

    would immediately deal with the issue since multiple other people had complained about Lucy already. Well, the complex manager towed Lucy's car and revoked her parking pass for the

    Lucy came back and was furious with me for reporting her. She was screaming and calling me an ah le. And saying I was intentionally trying to ruin her life and get her evicted or kicked out of

    me that I did the right thing by reporting her. A couple of our other friends agree with me, too. But Lucy and a few others think I took it too far and are a major a hole for this. Am I the a hle for getting my roommate's car towed?

    mmiggs So wait - Lucy would come home, see two empty parking spots oriented nose to tail, drive in to the first one, and just stop, leaving an inaccessible parking spot in front of her?

    This is absurd. It doesn't matter how tired Lucy is - it takes exactly the same effort to stop in the first spot vs stop in the second spot.

    One Employee_1134 OP Yes, that was what she was doing. Her parking spot was a little inconvenient since her car would get blocked in but I was always happy to come move my car if she needed to get out.

    False-Importance-741 So basically, she f'ed around, and found out. Seriously, did she really think that she was going to block take your spot for 10 days and you would just walk those 2 blocks every day to and from, not saying a word about it? Geez between that and parking in handicap spots she is deep in the entitlement zone and needs an intervention.

    See-A-Moose Those kind of people don't learn until they face consequences. Like the person who blew past me and a stopped school bus earlier today going 50+ who clearly didn't know all buses in my county have stop arm cameras that hand out $250 tickets. You love to see the chickens come home to roost for these entitled

    1962Michael Lucy has shown zero regard for you. Especially by leaving her car parked in your spot for 10 days! That's ridiculous. Frankly if I left my car for 10 days I would 100% have LEFT MY KEYS WITH MY ROOMMATES.

    Personally I would harden up and get Jenny and Sarah to agree. Lucy needs to leave a spare set of keys in the apartment any time she doesn't park in her own spot, AT MINIMUM.

    toosheeptheorist NTA - the apartment manager had already received numerous complaints about Lucy's parking. You had also talked to her multiple times but she never rectified her mistakes. She is now in the "find out" phase of FAFO. But I'm trying to figure out how her parking could affect her standing at uni.

    No-Possibility-5207 Girl you are NTA at all. you confronted Lucy multiple times to which she gave you fake promises and basically just ignored what you were saying. Your frustrations are valid and it isn't fair for her to have that sense of entitlement. She hasn't paid her parking fees,
