It’s not just unsettling when someone polices your activities.

It’s also sometimes funny because the old expression “You made your own bed” often applies to what follows the policing.

Anyone who’s dealt with drama over parking will understand this story. Read it and take notes.

My neighborhood is near a downtown area, and requires permits to park during the day longer than 2 hours.

The city has a 72 hr parking limit, then technically you have to move to a new spot.

I arrived home about 11:00pm and left the next morning back to work around 9:30 both days.

Little did he know that a confrontation was brewing.

It just happens that both nights I ended up parking in the same spot, about 3 houses down from mine.

The second morning, the neighbor in the house I’m parked in front of is on the sidewalk examining the van.

He says I can’t park there because of the a 72-hour rule and because his wife uses it, too.

Then OP found a workaround that might discourage him from trying that again.

So the last two weekends (which do not require the permit) I have been parking in “his” spot on the street from Friday evening to 8:50ish Monday morning.

For anyone wondering, I did actually scope out the wife’s car for handicap placard / plates and found none.

Here’s what people are saying.

I don’t get why it’s so common. Entitlement everywhere!

Interesting. But why is it like this?

That’s creative, I’ll give him that!

I don’t get it. Is it a power thing?

I strongly dislike people findings ways to use disability as an insult.

I’m glad my neighbors aren’t like this!
