Don’t ever mess with a person’s reserved parking spot!
Sure, first-come, first-served parking is gonna create some problems from time to time, but that’s fair game.
But reserved parking is another animal, my friends.
The guy who wrote this story wasn’t playing around when someone took his spot, and let’s just say that he did what he had to do.
Let’s take a look at what went down.
AITA for writing a note to someone who parked in my paid parking spot?
“Every spot in our garage is assigned. There are no free or open spots. We were on a waitlist to get one.
These spots ain’t cheap!
I live in an apartment complex with a garage. I pay $80 for the spot every month, which to me, isn’t a small amount of money. There are frequent car break-ins where I live and the area is pretty sketchy so I pay for this garage spot.
I came home last night from running errands and someone was parked in my spot. My assigned spot is in the corner against a wall. I left a note on their car letting them know that they were in my assigned spot and that they should call me if they want to get out.
It is his spot, after all…
I parked my car in front of theirs and they were blocked in because the car that parks next to us was home. I parked my car in front of theirs because I pay for my assigned spot and I did not want to risk getting broken into for the night.
In the morning I find a long note on my car. Word for word: “IDIOTS! What type of idiot parks in the parking garage not even in spot blocking residents from getting through if your car is not out of this garage tomorrow even if you’re in a spot. I’m sure you don’t own that spot & management will have you towed I have pictures of your car & license plate so remove yourself! Nonsense”
They also wrote “try not to be a jerk this year” on my note and stuck it on my car. They were able to get out of the spot because the car that parks next to us had left.
I went back to the garage and saw their car parked in a different spot.
AITA?”

I told you he wasn’t playing around!
And you can’t blame him.
Finding parking is like survival of the fittest these days.
He’s paying a pretty penny for this parking spot and he’s not about to let someone else have it!
