tiamatladySo, again, there's a car parked in the space assigned to our condo unit.
Different car.
Thing is, it's been there ALL DAY. When I got home the Unit pulled up behind our neighbor (who was also parked out front, I was in front of her since some asshole in a minivan was "parked" but the instant I pulled ahead, and slightly illegally, he decides to leave. Fucking asshole.) and started bitching about it. Again, the Unit has this way of speaking, that accuses you of doing something. Like she thinks this is a friend of mine, whom I told or just assumed to park there.
This comes from an incident with her calling card that happened when I was in college. Seems that I had talked about going somewhere (I don't even remember where) to visit a new netfriend, with my friend Abby who also knew someone in the area. The next week, she gets her phone bill and there are calls from and to that area. OK, but it wasn't me and it wasn't Ab. Unit asked me, I denied it, and for the next month I was the "lying Cheating Fuck." Now, most of you reading this know me, some of you that DON"T STILL know I proudly take responsibility for things. If it had been me, I would have owned up. Changes are I would have told her about it, before the bill came in. She THEN tells me it was Ab. Well she's my friend, and her mom was loaded. Believe me she didn't need to steal a calling card. About a month later, the company traced it, as it was trying to be used again. Seems that my sister went to a party, having borrowed my mother's card, and her then boyfriend let one of his friends copy the calling card number. Who then shared it around.
I was never apoligized to. So if I ever seem harsh at the Unit, it's because she deserves it.
Anyway, I guess it was my fault I went to work, and she stayed home and didn't move her car into the space. I told her have it towed, but there's a bunch of "should-a's: attached. After the fact she "should have" done a number of things.
When I came in from getting groceries, the car is still in the space. This is now about 12 hours, this isn't someone visiting, this is a car that's been left. I want it towed. I'm pretty sure someone in this building had noticed how long the space stays open, and has told people to park in it. The ONLY way to stop it is to start towing cars. Remember, this isn't the first time. And it's the first time in 10 years it's happened. I think twice, I've gone out and one of the cars next to me has parked in the wrong space. ONe of the newest people did it her first week here. No Big, I park in there space. She was very apologetic, but no harm was done. I HAVE NO PLACE TO PARK NOW!
(OK I went out and there's a space in visitor parking. But that is the space that GOES TO OUR CONDO! Someone's guest isn't going to be able to park since I'm in the visitor space!)
Her excuse this time, is that perhaps our across the hall neighbor, who is the next space, might have had her guest park out there and they take her car, and the guest parked in the wrong spot. However, since we didn't know that for sure "Because the Unit "should-a" asked before our neighbor went out) I couldn't park in her space.
And that's good because ALL My neighbors are home and in their correct spaces. Including Across the hall. I really think that when the Unit gets back from her BF's house tomorrow, so she can pester me, and "do stuff" which mostly consists of bugging the crap out of me, and it's there, it NEEDS TO BE TOWED. I can see making a mistake, and being in what you think is the right space and spending the night. But if you're still in that space at a reaosnable hour the next day, you deserve the consequences. Whenever I stay at someone's house I check on my car CONSTANTLY.
AND on top of that - whose is it? We know all these people. We know when they get new cars. When I went out to move my car, 4 guys were getting out of a cab, and I'm pretty sure they continued the party on the 4th floor.
One more strike against staying. I'm thinking that house down the street, that wants ONE person for a small house, is looking MUCH MUCH better.
I swear if she argues with me tomorrow, I'm going to have to leave for the weekend. Bee-yatch.
I'm going to bed. I was SO FULL earlier. I'm still in food coma.

Date: 2004-07-03 09:34 am (UTC)Last night in no uncertain terms did she tell me "DO NOT have the car towed" although then she said "Do what you want." She fears recriminations.
She'd already left a note on the car. It's very perky and polite. I didn't think any additional note would do any good since at that point I was so angry it would have said "The next time you park in my a#$%@^*$_ space your ass is getting towed, and I might just tow you from ANYWHERE else just to be a bitch!"
The thing that gets me is that two weeks ago the same thing happened. I'm thinking that someone in the building knows my car, actually knows BOTH our cars, and when they see one of us in visitor parking (two weeks ago my car didn't move out of visitor parking for two days, since I didn't leave the house for two days. Yesterday my mother was in vistor parking since she stayed home from work. But she was in there til about 2PM, and there was plenty of other vistor parking to be had.) they get mad and decide if WE can take up a vistor space, they can park their visitor in ours.
We have two cars, and once space. At one point we had three cars and one space. We live in a two bedroom, and most of the two bedroom units in the buildings have at least a couple which means two cars. There are 28 two bedroom units. There is usually some sort of parking issues, but with some respect and manovering we all deal with it. Every once in a while some asshole moves in and fucks everything up. I can't wait til one night I come home from ManRay at 2AM, and the Unit is parked in the Visitor space to leave me room to park, and this ass decides he needs the space.
When _I_ have guests, I usually put them in my space and put MY car elsewhere. The building is next to a Friendlies, which has a pretty big lot and doesn't mind if there's occasional parking.
We have a major parking problem which is aggrevated by shit like this. I don't care WHO is parked where, every unit has a deeded space. I don't get why they'd need to park in ours, specifically.
The other thing is that maybe they have the wrong space written down. But then we'd be getting notes on OUR cars regarding it.
(Visitor parking is an issue, but as long as we're not as bad as the guy who had THREE huge cars, his wife didn't drive, and then after a snowstorm he left them BURIED for THREE WEEKS, taking up three visitor parking spaces (due to snow overflow) I figure we're not so bad. *grins*)
