So…as a long-time on-street parker (in Boston’s South End, which is notorious for being a tough place to find a spot, particularly on the nights before street cleaning), I can feel that person’s pain. I never went to quite those lengths, but I definitely recall the feeling of powerlessness bordering on rage when I’d circle my neighborhood interminably and pass a car taking up two spaces. To be fair, it was likely unintentional (a perfectly reasonable space could be rendered larger by the movement of the bordering cars). But there were also times when I saw someone selfishly use a large space to create a buffer zone for their precious bumpers. Maddening when you’re hungry and just want to park and go home. So I can’t really blaming someone for leaving a nastygram, particularly when you consider that the level of frustration they felt might just as easily be channeled towards property damage…

I guess you’ll think twice before taking up two parking spaces next time buddy!

No seriously, this is why I hate people; I hate this note not for its content but for the wretched grammar mistake.

I got a note from someone a few weeks ago for blocking their drive way in Jersey City threatening to tow.

Anyway, good luck with that
