Ok, here's the story...

I live in an apartment complex that charges you extra if you want a parking spot (covered and lighted). There are other places to park on a first-come, first-serve basis. After about 8pm they are all taken. The closest place to park after that is a day care center. Everything else is too fucking far.

So last week the day care decided to start towing people who park there in the middle of the night. Okay, so I parked there, I got towed, my own damn fault, no excuses here. Cost me over 200.00 to get it back, but that's another gripe altogether.

Next day (you betcha) I rent a space. Last night I get home around 11pm and someone has parked in my space. I figure, no problem, I'll call and have this guy towed out.

When I call the damn towing company they say only three people are authorized to call and have someone towed, and they work in the manager's office during the day. So there's nothing I can do.

Am I gonna park in the day care again and get towed twice in three days??? Hell no. I parked my ass right in front of the other car with a note on his winshield so he has to come up and look in my face and tell me he was freeloading my space.

He was pretty embarassed. It was sweet.
