Stupid Car

As some of you may know, I live in a condo.  We have assigned parked spots.  My spot is next to two guest spots so many times I come home and someone is in my spot.  Sometimes I leave a note which says something along the lines of, "Hey, you parked in a reserved spot, next time park in a GUEST spot."  Depended on my mood, I can write it kinda feisty.  Like one time I called the person a genius for parking there.  I usually find the note crumpled up on the ground.

So Sunday night, I get home from work around 10:55pm like usual and there is a car parked in my spot.  My neighbor doesn't live in her place, so I just parked in her spot, no big deal.  I didn't even leave a note this time. Monday, I leave for work and the car is still there.  Same thing when I get home.  Tuesday, still there.  I am not really caring too much, since I can park in my neighbor's spot.  But I decided to call our management company to report it.  Now I felt kinda stupid calling, because it is a petty thing.  But here's the reason.  We had work done on our parking lot today and all cars had to be out by 7:00am, or they were going to tow at the owner's expense.  I was calling the management company to let them know that it wasn't my car and I didn't want to be held responsible if it wasn't moved when they started the work.

The lady that answered the phone didn't seem like the sharpest knife in the drawer.  When I told her there was a car parked in my spot since Sunday, her response was, "Are the spots assigned?"  Now would I be calling to say there was someone in my spot if they weren't assigned?  I am not 12!  Then she was trying to get me to send an email in to them, but I explained my situation and then she took the info.  Then, I stop at my mom's house on my way to work and she tells me that the management place called and left a message on her cell phone about needing me to call back to answer some questions.  This was at 12:25.  So I call back and they are closed for lunch from 12:30 - 1:30.  Wouldn't this have been a good thing to say in the message?!?!  I call back at 1:30 and talk to the lady to give her the info about the car and also let her know that she had called my mom instead of me.  

This morning, I left about 9:00 to run some errands and the car was still there.  When I got home around 1:30, they were working on the parking lot and it was gone.  I kinda wanna know whether or not the car had to be towed and if it was, I really would like to see when the person comes back and sees that it's gone!

Sorry, I guess that wasn't too exciting of a story, I will try to make the next one a little better!
