Workplace parking can cause strange drama when people start claiming spaces they don’t actually own.

Why should anyone expect the same spot every morning when the parking lot has no assigned spaces?

Instead of arguing, this school employee started parking somewhere different each day to make a quiet point.

Check out the full story below.

AITA since I park in a different spot every day at work?

“I work in an elementary school.

A friend from another school got a job at ours a couple years ago and on her first day someone greeted her with, “You shouldn’t park in that spot.”

There are no assigned spots and there are plenty!

What’s wrong with these people?

This year, she covered for another teacher for the first three days of school. The person she covered for never came to see her or thank her or give her any feedback.

Then months later they came to her to ask her to please not park in her spot! And this was a different person than the first one, but the same grade level.

So now her feelings are hurt again and she won’t tell me who it was.

No, they’re taking action…

I’ve taken it upon myself to just park in a different spot every day. I’m not out to “get” any one person.

I just want people to realize in my own quiet (passive aggressive?) way that nothing in life is certain and that not getting your chosen spot every morning isn’t the end of the world.

I even mentioned my hobby to the principal and she just laughed.

Yesterday a third woman on that same grade level (what is it with those guys) came to ask me to please not take her parking spot anymore.

I just said, “I park in a different spot every day.”

These people are weird…

She said she knew that and I walked away.

If she knew that then she knows I won’t be in her spot again, at least for a very long while. So why come to me?

It’s not like I get to work super early or anything. I’m sure there are some folks who do who I’ll never “take their spot.”

I don’t like that mean girl nonsense. Or is it just some OCD-like thing?

Whatever it is, AITA for parking in a different spot at work every day?”

If the parking is first come first served, nobody really has a spot they can claim as their own.

This employee did nothing wrong by using different open spaces in a parking lot with no assigned parking.

Her coworkers could have avoided all this drama by accepting that arriving regularly doesn’t turn public spots into personal property.

Apparently, some teachers need their own lesson about sharing.
