    Years ago I was at my girlfriend's house from about 10-2 am playing board games. In San Francisco, it's tough to find parking so I rode my
  • 02
    scooter to her place and parked between two driveway cutouts on a curb that was approximately 3' wide.

    This is quite common, perfectly legal and normally not a big deal. To be clear, I was not blocking their garage, but
  • 05
    I did park between two cars parked in front of their garage. I have been to her six unit apartment building dozens of times
  • 06
    and have seen their "no parking" signs on the building between the three garage doors (in front of the curb area I parked at). I came out to
  • 07
    my scooter with both vehicles still parked in the same position they were in when I arrived to find a note on my seat. I loved
  • 08
    the anger, sarcasm, rage and entitlement, so of course I kept it and it is now placed prominently on my refrigerator for all to read. I appreciate this

    guy's effort and outrage despite being a petty note to leave...it kinda reminds me of something
  • 10
    I might do (making sure I was in compliance with the law, however). The note (sadly, I can't share a picture of it):

    I am wondering if you are illiterate, have a poor sense of spatial recognition, don't care if your bike is damaged
  • 12
    when I have to pull out of the space since you have not left me enough room to do so safely, or you don't care if you are cited or towed! Move your bike
  • 13
    before you are sorry you ignored the NO PARKING sign and don't park here again! There are many other available spaces for you to park.

    Next day at work, I looked up parking codes in San Francisco, and turns out you cannot park in front of your garage if you live in a building with more than two units, and you

    can only install no parking signs on a garage door. I called SF311 and reported the situation and the next time I went to visit her,
  • 17
    the "No Parking" signs between the garages were removed and I never saw a car parked in front of the garage doors again. I only felt bad for
  • 18
    the other two people who can no longer park in front of their garages because of this Karen/Kevin.

    Tremenda-Caru... • 54m ago The neighbor's note reads. like an over-the-top manifesto, why escalate parking dispute into such an impassioned diatribe when scooter was clearly within legal boundaries?
  • 21
    avid-learner-bot 53m ago I've gotta side-eye this whole kerfuffle... the neighbor got their undies in a twist over something that might not even have been illegal parking, while OP
  • 22
    followed the rules to a T (well, minus the 'T' since it's on a scooter). It's like Karen/Kevin just wanted an excuse to wag her finger
  • 23
    and be the 'ruler of the block'. Oh well, at least the note got its 15 minutes of fame... until OP put it in its place, on their fridge!
