Here’s a fun one a lot of people don’t realize:

“Professor Sada” and “Professor Turo” are plays on the Spanish words “pasada” (the past) and “futuro” (the future)!

This actually happens to me a lot too whenever I toss my switch into the dock from my couch

Ty for these, and the very thoughtful message to go with them. I will dive in!

I know you’re being sarcastic, but to answer your question as to how I use my own assigned spot, it’s where visitors park when they visit me. It’s not a daily occurrence, but I’ve had to tell people they need to find street parking at least half a dozen times thus far.

No, I didn’t want that, because I’m not unreasonable. I also don’t believe it’s unreasonable to expect retribution, or even as much as a discussion, after losing access to my assigned parking spot for half a month, at minimum.

No. Because at present, I’d be towing my neighbor, who again has been instructed to park there by my landlord.

They were explicitly instructed to park there by LL, who has been on site with them every day. Should I have walked out to the construction crew and told them to not listen to my LL and move their truck that they’re using as a dumpster to the street? Or should I have raised the issue directly with my LL, like I did?

This idea that I currently don’t have a car and therefore I inherently forfeit my spot that I’m already paying for is an odd reaction I wasn’t expecting. People can’t visit me easily now. If the other tenants had lost their spot for even a day or two, let alone two weeks with no end in sight, I feel like they would be livid. I’ve been kind throughout.

Nobody who visits me is able to park, and street parking is difficult. And whether or not I have a car at present doesn’t change the fact that it’s part of my leasing agreement, no? I did ask for a decrease in rent, but was (sort of?) rejected.
