As a person who tries to almost never be petty because I typically think it’s a waste of time, even I have to admit…
Sometimes, it’s necessary!
And I firmly believe that the story you’re about to read fits into that category perfectly.
Will you agree with me?
I think so!
Check out what this fella did when a neighbor gave him an unnecessarily hard time about a parking spot.
Get started now!
AITA for reserving my neighbour’s parking spot?
“I moved in to an apartment this weekend. They told me they had a parking spot reserved for me if I wanted it.
They have reserved spots that cost $20/month, and they have “permit” spots that all residents can park in.
I declined the reserved spot, and figured if they had it saved for me, it was probably not being used.
What was this all about?
I parked there, and at midnight on my first night, my neighbour was honking excessively outside and then rang my doorbell telling me I was in his spot.
I drove around the parking lot to find a “permit” spot.
Turns out, all the permit spots are on the complete opposite end of the complex and it’s quite a walk. I figured it’s worth the $20/month even if just for the safety reason of having visibility of my car.
I’ll take that!
I contacted my landlord today and reserved the spot in front of my unit that my neighbour has been using for free.
I understand my neighbour has probably been using that spot for a while, but I also feel like he should’ve expected this to happen eventually.
I am paying for it after all, and he is not, but it doesn’t seem like the best first impression.
AITA?”
