As the saying goes, mess around and find out.

Or it goes something like that…

But you know what I’m saying!

It’s so satisfying to see someone who acted like a jerk get put in their place.

Take a look at this story from Reddit and see if you puts a big smile on your face.

AITA for the way I am reacting to someone parking in my paid parking spot?

“I live in a high rise and pay $160 per month for 2 parking spots in the connected parking garage.

I have adjoining spots which is incredibly rare in my building. I live by myself currently, and I have a wide truck that I currently park centered over the line on my double spot to leave room for the people’s doors next to me.

The parking spot next to me is on the end of the row on a corner, which admittedly can get quite tight at times. They usually park close to the line on my side to give the drivers in the garage more room.

Up until now I’ve been fine with giving them a little leeway, however, we have never spoken.

They sound a bit annoying…

Previously they have done little things that make me think they’re a bit pretentious: They have left items in my spot that I have had to move out of the way in order to park.

The drive the wrong way in the parking garage to get to their spot 5 seconds quicker.

This past week It looks like they disabled the light above their spot due to the spider issue in our garage, and they put the cover pieces in my spot.

Again, nothing too bothersome, just weird to me someone does stuff like that that.

Well last night this person apparently decides my spot is now their spot, and they park with more than 60% of their car over the dividing line between our two spots.

It is so egregiously over the line, there is no way this is a simple mistake.

It just so happens that last night I was planning on using both of my spots for the first time in quite a while. I get building security involved, and they contact the owner to get the car moved.

It is now the next day and the car has not been moved yet.

I wanted to nip this in the bud, because I don’t want anyone else to feel entitled to my spot. About an hour after I was told the owner had been contacted, I went down to move my car, and found the car still there.

How do you like that?

I was angry and feeling petty so I parked my car about 8 inches from their driver’s side mirror, but I am still well within my own parking spots.

I posted a picture of the car with the license plate obscured to our building’s very active NextDoor page effectively saying “whoever uses spot X please move your car, you are in my spot”.

If for some reason this continues past this evening I want to escalate.

My building, per our bylaws, has to the right to impose fines to residents who do not abide by the rules, and I want to ask them to charge the offender the cost of my rent for the parking spot per day they have used it.

It works out to about $2.50 per day. I have also been told that towing the offending car is an option as well, but I’ll only use that as a last resort.

Once the car is moved, I will also start parking entirely in my spot directly next to them, regardless of if I will be parking two cars or not.

I feel I need to set boundaries now, but AITA for taking it this far?”
