I Moved My Neighbor's "Reserved" Parking Cones
A parking war erupts when one neighbor removes unofficial spot-saving cones.
👤 Pat
My apartment complex has unassigned parking. My neighbor Greg has been placing traffic cones in "his" spot every morning for a year. There's no reserved parking in our lease. One morning, the lot was full and I moved his cones and parked there. Greg came to my door at 7am demanding I move my car. I said there's no assigned spots. He said "everyone knows that's my spot, I've lived here longer." I told him to talk to the leasing office if he wants a reserved spot. He left a passive-aggressive note on my windshield. The leasing office confirmed: no assigned parking, no cones allowed. Greg has now started parking his second car (which he barely uses) in the spot to "claim" it. I think he's being unreasonable. He thinks I started a parking war.

I work night shifts and get home at 2am. For a year, this spot has been available when I arrive because I am consistent. I put the cones out because twice I lost the spot and had to park three blocks away in the dark at 2am as a woman alone. The cones are not permanent. I move them by 8am every day. Nobody else wants this spot at 2am. Pat moved my cones on a Tuesday and took the spot until noon just to prove a point. It is not about the rules. Pat just wanted to win.
