Bit of an odd one this. Our office car park has 3 buildings that use it. 2 of which own the land, the other, a Chinese restaurant, only has right of access.
We've long had issues with the workers from the coffee shop and bakery parking in certain areas of the car park and due to the layout, it's not possible to put up posts. There's effectively 3 car parking spaces in front of the Chinese but this was only ever meant to be a turning circle for deliveries.
After many arguments with the people parking on our land and them simply refusing to stop, I bought a knackered Merc A180 (the little people carrier things) and parked it on the edge of what is our side of the car park.
I was out of the office yesterday and got a call from colleagues to say the Merc was being dragged onto a flat bed and taken away. Car was badly damaged getting it on the truck.
I spoke with the lad taking the car and he said he was collecting his take-away the night before and asked about the car - it was an eyesore, I can't deny that
and asked why it was there.
One of the Chinese - a particularly spikey one that often screams at us "This ar car park!" you'll have to imagine the accent.
Now she told this lad that the car had been dumped months ago and she didn't know who it belonged to and wanted it moving. She knows perfectly well who owns it and why it was there.
I wasn't angry, I found the whole thing highly amusing. The bakery is no longer there and coffee people park elsewhere now so I had been wondering what I was going to do about getting the car removed.
The lad kind of made the decision for me so I let him continue to take it. He really shouldn't have just taken the car on the Chinese girl's say so. There's a procedure before it can be removed. I know this.
However, I'm annoyed with the Chinese girl. I don't want to get the lad in trouble. He's lucky one of us saw him and discussed it or it would have been straight on the blower to the police.
Other than getting another nag and dumping it where the other one was, I'm wondering what I can do to get her back
Thoughts?
Not entirely serious, just thought I'd share.
