This one was just kind of odd. I wasn't quite sure what to expect on the cameras Halloween night what with covid. But it wasn't this.
I had already gone to bed so alas I could not yell at any of these people.
Sometime after the Witching hour someone pulled into our parkade who was not a tenant (tenants have their own spots, all spots were full). But rather than allow the lack of parking spaces to deter them they pressed onward in trying to find a place to cram their car.
Thus they located the vehicles of two of our tenants who had parked a fair distance apart in their respective spaces....annnnd they backed their car in BETWEEN the other two cars on top of the line between the parking spaces.
Now surely you say there can't possibly be enough space between two other parked cars to park your car, can there? And you'd be right! But this brave soul wasn't about to let something like spatial awareness or the sound of bumper scraping fender stop them. No sir. They would courageously press onward.
At some point he realized he was grinding his car on another car and stopped trying to back in. Only to pull forward, try to better align himself a few times then back in again. This time pushing the car all the way into the not parking space. The baleful cries of metal on metal be damned. If there was not a space he would MAKE a space. That's what real men do.
Having situated himself and caused a satisfactory amount of vehicular damage he turned the car off. Then let his passenger out. She, somehow, managed to squeeze herself out in the available space. Then proceeded to leave the parkade and just wander off into the dark alley behind our building. Just, away she went. Off into the night. Never to be seen again. Whatever secrets she held lost forever in the darkness.
According to the camera the guy then sat there in his car for 10 minutes or so. Then let his second passenger out. She too wandered off into the back alley but in the opposite direction. For what purpose I know not. Why not just let them off in the alley? Why not just....I dunno, drop them off where they were actually going to go instead of sending your female friends into dark alleys in the dead of night to fend for themselves. These questions remain unanswered.
Having dispensed his passengers he then starts the car back up and scraps his way back out of the not parking space and back onto the street. In total he was only parked for about 10 minutes. There was no need at all to reverse into a not parking space in our parkade just to idle for 10 minutes. In fact, our building also has an outdoor parking lot that is closer to the alley than the parking is and has free spaces. Indeed you drive up the alley to get to it. We even have front street parking with space for guests at the mouth of the alley.
This cornucopia of choice was before him yet he took the most difficult option that caused the most amount of monetary damage. Both to one of our tenants car's and his own. All just to drop two women off and force them to walk home anyway.
Frankly, I would have preferred some kids setting off fireworks like the rest of town got. But noooo. We have to get the guy that thinks you can make your own parking spots long as you're willing to push another car out of the way with your rear bumper.
