Life How would you handle this work situation? - Page 2

**BigRichard** · 08-23-2016, 03:45 PM

I work in an offsite building for a hospital. They were always a little short on parking but they recently built a new building next to us which knocked out another 45 stalls and they are stating when the new building actually opens we will be short 100 parking stalls. They are currently shuttling people from about a mile away down to the location. The shuttle runs from our building to the hospital to the another offsite location back to the parking garage. A bit of a time killer.

When parking was a little short before we would sometimes park in the legal residential parking on some of the side streets. They sent out an email last week stating we were no longer allowed to do this. They even went so far as to put tickets from security on peoples cars who had parked there. I wish I knew what the tickets said but I haven't talked to anyone that had gotten one yet. They know which cars are employees by stickers that are required to park anywhere at the hospital or on campus.

As sometimes I like to be a little bit of a rabble rouser I am trying to think of the best response if I should happen to get a ticket parking in the residential area. I know they can fire you for anything but I really can't see how they can tell you not to park in a legal parking spot. I wouldn't push this to that extreme anyway. I would however be willing to cause a little bit of a ruckus over it. Any suggestions?

So you said the only reason they can tell it's an employee is because of the sticker. Then you said you only needed the sticker to park at the hospital. Couldn't you just remove the sticker & therefore park with no consequences?

I mean if you can't ever park in their lot & obviously don't want to park in their ancillary lots what purpose does the sticker serve other than outing you when you park on the street?

You also have to have the sticker to park in the lot at the offsite building. I might not have made that clear. I typically do park in the lot as I am one of the first ones in the building in the morning. This only happens if I have to take a late lunch or something. I come back and all the stalls are gone.

Get to work early, before all the spaces are taken.

Without reading the story I'm going to suggest antifreeze.

Just get a sticker and laminate it, get a pouch that sticks to the window, take it out when needed, and put it back in when needed. Problem Solved.

I guess I can kind of see both sides to this. You have to park someplace but I have also been on the other side of the fence.

Last summer some hairy ditch pig looking chick would come and park out in front of my house about every other day and walk off. It took me awhile to figure out what she was doing which was walking two blocks and boning some married guy while his wife was at work and or out of town.

Neither here nor there, but it was a hot summer and kept me from watering the front yard because I have well water and I didn't want to get any on her car.

Then the week of reckoning came when she was in front of the house for 6 days in a row. The lawn starting looking like the one on the Oak Express commercial "that's not natural."

I finally happened to be there when she was getting in her car one night, explained the situation, she gave me attitude and parked there the next day. I said **** it and fired up the sprinklers for a good all day lawn soaking and her car got a good watering as well. After that she didn't park there anymore.

That's exactly how I would handle that situation

Douche move to park in a residential area like that...huge Douchette move

You need to park as far away as possible from your work and walk that fat ass.

Eureka · 08-23-2016, 05:39 PM

As a home owner I had to deal with people like you parking in front of my house often. One day I approached a guy who would park their sometimes and offered one of my driveway spots for a fee (325$ for a year). He accepted and ended up being a cool aqauintance. I got to meet his lil sis after he casually invited me to a BBQ and ended up boning her quite often. He eventually didn't like his lil sis in his parking spot he had paid for. ESP in the early morning hours. He didn't re-up the next year.

See if you can buy a space from a local home owner.
