If you’ve ever lived in a city where a car is required, you’ll appreciate the convenience of having a parking place ready for you. Owning a parking place with your name on it is a luxury that unfortunately not all of us can afford. Below is a tale about an elderly woman who made certain that a couple would not get away with stealing her space in the future. Enjoy reading how this couple got what they deserved, and feel free to express your opinions on the beautiful payback in the comments area below.

I work in a place with a deeded parking garage – each space is owned by a resident. But we only have 75 spots, and 300 units. If you don’t have a spot, ya gotta permit park your car on the street or find a parking garage in the neighborhood.
Had one sweet old lady (I’ll call her Granny) who owned a Mini-Cooper and a parking space to go with it. Another couple who rented a unit did not have a parking spot, and took to planting their economy car in her spot . When Granny complained, the renters would just say they were entitled because there were so many empty parking places, so Granny could park somewhere else. (WHAT THE HECK DO THEY NOT GET ABOUT DEEDED PARKING!)
This continued until the day the sweet old lady decided to be not-so-sweet. Pulled her car in front of the two grifter’s renter’s car and parked bumper to bumper. Put a note on their car saying “Parking in this space is $150 a day. Please leave a check with the concierge.”
So the two grifters renters showed up at my desk bit*hing about their car being blocked off and actually expected me to tow Granny’s car off! I had to re-explain that deeded parking meant that I could not tow a car from Granny’s spot anymore than I could rearrange furniture in her apartment. It’s her land, she owns it, you abandoned your car on her property, talk to Granny.
So after 20 minutes or so of the grifters renters bit*hing, I called Granny, even though it was early in the morning. She came down to the desk in her housecoat and slippers with her dog in tow.
They begged her to move her car – Granny told them it would be $150 bucks – leave the check with the concierge. They kept bit*hing. Then she told them it would be an extra $50 for waking her up in the morning cause they claimed an emergency. Then they asked her how long before she left the garage.
Granny told them “Dearies, I’m retired. I’ll leave my spot when I’m ready. And the price just went up to $150 a day, plus $50 for waking me – and that will be in cash. Leave the envelope with the concierge. I’m walking my dog and I’ll move my car when I have your rental fee in hand.”
Not only did the renters never park in her spot again, but Granny got her cash.
As an added bonus, the two grifters renters bit*hed so much that word got around and I didn’t have to deal with that issue for another two years.
