Hi Gailerina,

I just think people in a rush don't see things, until a ticket or tow jumpstarts them to pay attention. Once someone parked in front of my garage,and I had to have the person towed, since I had no idea who the person was, and was commuting out of town.

I just realized that it was the second time the poor tenant was complaining in a week, and she doesn't realize the power she with towing. Sometimes you have to "rock the boat", unlike the song "don't rock the boat"(I love that song!).

Signs are important, but if you have too many, people tune out. Another funny issue is that one person drove over the curb to create a "new spot", which antonized me, since I'd received a ticket for parking on the sidewalk. That person was doing the same thing, but didn't judge the lines properly, since the end spot should be marked with perpendicular lines. What I'd done was "normal" in the industry, since delivery companies just absorb the cost of tickets.

Davit,

Is that a real or toy train? I have an "O" train set, from Lionel, from childhood. What a lovely way to add to my hectic day, walking into doors, and waiting forever on telephones, and dealing with bureaucrats who are unattached from reality and lost in cyberspace hell.

We have numerous signs stating you can be towed if you park in our lot, but employees and visitors to the site next store do it all the time. I walk during lunch and some one of the workers and I very nicely said, your just parked at the bottom of the lot, right? She goes yes and I said, you do know you can be towed, correct? She goes, what? (In my head I am thinking you can't be stupid to not see the 5 signs, including the one right next to me). She was like, right now? I said, maybe, you never know.

She was like ok, thanks for letting me know and then went inside her building. One day we are going to tow all the cars without the parking pass and someone is going to be banging on our door and scaring our poor receptionist.

At least I did my part and warned her, I hope she tells others.

Painted lines and a tow away zone sign would probably be adequate. I wonder if she got mad at you for stealing her thunder. Staff parking signs deter people too. Who wants to annoy the Doctor they are seeing. I managed appts. Parking in the wrong spot is common as is parking crooked or taking two spots. Worse in winter. Some people are just ignorant and don't care.

At a clinic, a woman was irate that someone parked in her tenant spot, instead of the clinic assigned parking.

I offered a suggestion that she get a webcam, since they're cheap, and it would help enforce the parking properly. This seemed to really put her off. She was very unassertive about getting the person towed, which I believe would be the solution. The clinic is adjacent to the building, and towing would cause the office staff to be more helpful, since they seem connected to the landlord, but don't wish to get "involved".

There's a time for speaking, and a time for not speaking, and I probably didn't sense her anger or my place. I did preface my remark by stating that someone had forced me out of the way in the laneway behind their parking, although they were travelling opposite to legal traffic.
