Parking wars occur way more often than you think—and you're probably already assuming that they happen a lot. Both parties on either side of the argument usually think they're in the right for whatever reason, but of course, that can't really be true. Some understand that they're acting out of turn in an entitled manner, but that doesn't matter to them; they only want to get what they want, and if being a bad person is what will bring them to it, you bet they're going to take that route!

Some entitled individuals, like the one in this next story, gaslight themselves so hard that they'll start to believe the lies they're telling themselves and others. The parking debacle that takes place is not only annoying to read about, but it is also surreal. In what world would a landlord tell a tenant to steal another tenant's parking spot? Not only is that insane to think about, but it's also unbelievable. The parking spot stealer believes they are the ones being harassed so hard that they try to ostracize the person who posted this story. Not going to happen. Scroll to see how the whole story unfolds.

  • and then i find out she's been telling neighbors i'm "harassing" her over a one time mistake. ONE TIME??? she's been doing this for WEEKS. lying to everyone like i'm some psycho over a single incident. i literally left one note and asked a question. that's it
    via rentpaidletmepark
  • and THEN last week i come home and she parked sideways in the visitor spot behind my car so i couldn't even leave. i knock on her door and she straight up won't open it. just yells "deal with it" through the door like ??? ok boss battle unlocked i guess

  • had to call the landlord again and they literally had to come move her car. i felt like a child tattling but what else was i supposed to do
    via rentpaidletmepark
  • now the whole building feels weird. she won't talk to me. just d th stares. neighbors are like "what's the drama??" and i'm out here just trying to go to work and park my car
    via rentpaidletmepark
  • like i've been polite. i didn't cuss her out. i let the landlord handle it. i asked like a normal person. but she turned this into a whole neighborhood saga over my parking spot like broooo i pay for this spot what are we even doing
    via rentpaidletmepark
  • so like... am i the a hole for not wanting to give up my own spot that i pay for??? or should i just let her keep taking it and park 3 blocks away like some kinda NPC

  • desiree_noel "Why don't you share it?" Because I didn't split this rent with you, Susan. If you want shared parking, move into a clown car.
