Someone did not have a good day

Reminds me of one we did a few years back.

This was a apartment complex for college kids only. Every single spot is full. So in the winter we have designated parking spots that are painted white and we put up yard signs in each spot not to park there when there is snow.

This chick parked her car then walked out and moved our sign to the next parking spot. You can see her foot prints in the snow. Soooo, we buried her. Took before and after pics to cover my ass and noted all scratches etc. No complaints from her, and the property manager thought it was hilarious.

Ouch, I bet that took her at least an hour to shovel out, you got me beat hands down mine was like 15 to 20 minutes.

The funny thing is this was the first car I did this too.
Other than plowing in at least 10 feet of snow piled 5 feet high in front of a private driveway -(bounced check and told to F. off when I went to collect cash, my first year plowing)

I don't make it a habit to bury cars but hey sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to make a point.

I bet everyone has to some degree piled snow into a persons car that had been told not to park there.

Even if they well not admit it and claim they never did it.

After all we have to be professionals even if someone is thumbing their noses at us, right.

I'm not that professional and I admit it.
I do a great job and take pride in what I do, but piss me off too many times and, well I like the last laugh.

Like I said before, 3 strikes and your out.
You have to draw that line in the sand, no matter what type of business you are in, you need to decide what your limit is.

Have a good one and let it snow, snow, snow.

They were glad I did it they laughed and commented "maybe this well get them not to park on the hill during a storm"

Having the manager's approval eliminates any question here. What you did is not wrong.

I thought about the towing option, but in these times I think a little hard work shoveling out your car is a better learning option than paying towing charges.

Thoughtful and considerate even while making a point. I like it. I know if it happened to me I'd be pissed while digging out, then later I'd laugh about the friggin a-hole who did that to me...if the car was towed I might have trouble making that rent payment and I'd never laugh about it.

I don't think the use of the car in an emergency is a big issue, and it's not like there aren't plenty of counter-arguments about not having snow on the ground in an emergency, emergencies caused by snow on the ground, other cars and ambulances, etc...
