Parking Problems


Today I had to take the boy to work for the morning because our sitter is on vacation. The boy needs toys, diaper bag and other essentials to keep him occupied so I can be productive at work.

During the past week our office building has been doing some major renovations to the main entrance so it is closed, along with the main parking lot. So we have been parking in the side lot which is much smaller. If that lot is full, there is a much longer walk.

Today I was late because of the boy and the side lot was full...except for the 4 spots "reserved for building management." So I decided, what the hell, I'm parking there. I had to carry in the boy and all his stuff.....

About an hour into the day, I received a call from the building manager who politely asked me to move my car out of their reserved spot. I was so shocked I didn't even argue or question it as ridiculous as I thought it was. What was even more shocking was that when I went out to move the car, there were still 2 open spots reserved for management!

I've worked there for 5 years and have never parked in their spots. It isn't like I've made a habit of it...And really if the main parking lot were open I never would've considered it...

In summary, why is the building management staff more important than their clients (the tenants) and why is it so urgent I move my car when they weren't even using the spots anyway??????

  1. it's easier if you just park in your own spot and don't bring your kid to work.
