If this tow company is as ruthless as all the reviewers claim, then THIS is the tow company I want my building to hire. If you are going to "borrow" someone's parking for 5 minutes, you are running the risk and you damn well know it. Making a mistake is one thing. Just thinking you can skate is quite another. There are signs posted everywhere, and each space is marked with a number. If you still can't figure out that this is a tenant-only area and you don't have a permit and you don't live here, THEN DON'T PARK HERE. I don't care if it's 5 minutes or 5 seconds. It isn't yours and you are stealing a space which is included with rent, which means it's paid for.
So, to the person who is whining that she was only in the space 5 minutes and wants a warning, I say: WARN YOU OF WHAT? THAT YOUR RUDENESS IS GOING TO COST YOU BIG BUCKS? Consider all the signs posted and painted on the concrete "your warning."
Plus how self-important do you need to be to think your 5 minute errand is more important than the tenant who lives here, and may be coming home in 3 minutes? With ice in the car, or frozen goods, or hot goods, or a crying baby, or the desperate need to get into the house for a reason which is more important than YOUR 5 minute errand?!
Furthermore, how self-important and self-absorbed do you need to be, before you realize that YOUR 5 minute errand, times 7, means someone could be running that 5 minute errand every frigging night? And the tenant has to wait for warnings EVERY frigging night?
I am so angry at the public who think they can dash in and out and take my parking space, which is behind a bush (what, you think that hides your car from the tow truck drivers? think again), every damn night. Especially on weekends. Good lord, they come downtown in droves and park in my spot so they can load up on bubb at the clubs and try (and fail) to get laid. Half the time they wander around (alone) trying to chirp for their car because in their stupor they can't remember where they parked.
I am inconvenienced repeatedly. I'm going to recommend we hire H B Towing because I need an Inglourious Basterd Tow Truck Driver on my side for a change.
In the meantime, please get the heck out of my spot. I live here. You don't. There are meters one block over. It's a quarter. You can spare it.
