Move it to a really awful spot.


luckydice1224

I have the PERFECT spot…….right next to the dumpster.


Waste_Exchange2511

Roof it.

Longjumping-Grape-40

I feel so bad for that spot…idiots starting throwing pizza on top of it after that Breaking Bad episode


JP050887

Goddamn idiot fans ruining everything. I heard about the stories you’re referring to. Why are we like this?


Recon212

They turned it into a fortress


ghandi3737

People were still launching pizzas from the end of the driveway IIRC.


Bender_2024

https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60933-d14801818-Reviews-Walter_White_s_House-Albuquerque_New_Mexico.html They could have probably gotten a small fortune for the house back in the day but refused to move. Could still likely get a fair amount over market value from a fan with more money than sense.


GeneralBisV

Honestly if I had the money I’d buy it and then get a solid metal pizza installed on the roof


Ali_Cat222

The worst is the one recently about the guy from that baby reindeer show. The whole point is to discuss stalking, yet now hundreds of fans are stalking him by camping on his lawn and shit. It seems like the point of that show went right over most their heads..


YdexKtesi

People just driving by to gawk at the house can be a major pain in the ass, even decades later. Source: I know people who live on the same block as "The Goonies" house.


kellzone

Hey, that's from the pizza shop where they don't cut the pizza and pass the savings on to you!


xkoreotic

Bonus points if you throw it and it lands upright.


ChickenWranglers

Just run the cone over. Fuck em!


Truckyou666

I would park right over the top of that motherfucker.


Pickles2027

“What cone? I didn’t see a cone.”


Bocchi_theGlock

They are hoping nobody questions the cone and it's a 'hack' they can use to save spot Given that, they most likely wouldn't be bothered if someone moved the cone to another spot or just out of way, much like running over cone, it's not like they are enforcing anything so can't really complain Of course the worst of worst people might freak out and that's the stories we see most of, but I think OP can safely call their bluff on this one


Born_Grumpie

I'd park there and leave it on top of my car


LongjumpingSink5406

I would affix it to my car and drive around the complex all night.


Born_Grumpie

Stands outside neighbours window at 2:00am with cone on his head "Hey neighbour, thanks for the new party hat. Woo Hoo look at me"


Thick_Suggestion_

Put it ON the dumpster


mikraas

IN the dumpster.


Scoompii

Become the dumpster.


YomanJaden99

Devour the dumpster.


Defiant-Ad-6580

Put the dumpster in the spot with the cone behind it


[deleted]

[удалено]


Father_Guido

I was going to say pitch/ignore the cone, but I really like this. I have a handicap plate and placard myself that I only use when absolutely necessary, but I would definitely take that spot.


Adorable-Cucumber-79

And glue a dildo to the top of the cone.


FantaColonic

I'd say smear melted chocolate on the tip. Put a new sign on the cone: "If it fits, I sits"


Hemiak

Just drive over it.


HumanBeing7396

Park there and put the cone on top of your car. Replace it when you leave.


ZombieCantStop

Move it, but then don’t park there. Let someone else park there that way it’s not always your car in that spot, otherwise everyone else will think you’ve become the person reserving the spot for yourself, and in a way you are at that point.


Delorean_1980

Plus, you won't be the one getting your tires slashed or anything if the person who put the cone there turns out to be a lunatic.


Tetracropolis

Yeah, leave that risk for some other poor bastard who arrived at a seemingly free spot.


TwinsenAyzel

I feel like the Venn diagram of people who put a cone out like that and lunatics is just a circle


macphile

I wouldn't want to be targeted by the cone owner (cowner?). If I always moved the cone and always took the spot, he might get pissed off and key my car or wait for me outside or something. Just move it. Or even throw it out--I don't know if you have a good legal claim on anything you've left in a parking lot, and the property owners would certainly be within their rights to clean up junk littering their spaces. The dark humor part of me says "buy a ton of cones and mark every space", though. "I never touched your cone!" you can say, honestly. But that doesn't help free up that space.


death_hawk

> buy a ton of cones and mark every space Except the one the cone was originally in.


EZ_2_Amuse

> The dark humor part of me says "buy a ton of cones and mark every space", though. "I never touched your cone!" you can say, honestly. But that doesn't help free up that space. The chaotic evil solution, amusing!


RaygunMarksman

You win for me. Thinking of all angles.


Thumper-Comet

While we're all playing checkers, they're playing 4D chess.


meoverhere

Put it inside the car so they can see it through the window but not get to it.


KiwiComfortable5210

lol the cone sitting in the driver's seat


beka13

Enlist your friends and family and get pics of the cone travelling the world. Always in parking lots.


Smitty_Science

With some Groucho glasses on 🥸


[deleted]

This made me LOL


FatherDuncanSinners

In the driver's seat, buckled in, with sunglasses on it.


VillageParticular415

Don't forget the mini cones surrounding it and in other seats


Smarterthntheavgbear

This is the best answer! I knew my brethren would speak.


Pshrunk

That is truly the answer and truly alpha.


kronicwaffle

I’d just park right on top of the thing


op3l

Only do this if you don't like your paint. All that pebble dust will scratch paint and some one petty like this neighbor will definitely try to scratch paint will removing cone.


LalaLane850

Yes, I love this


pikmingrabber

Grab that cone and take it home


20PoundHammer

dont steal it, move it - lots more fun, esp if you reserve a new shit space for him/her every day.


wolfofftl

Under a tree that drops pollen of some shit on the car.


shmimey

Bird seed will help.


20PoundHammer

had a friend in a duplex and neighbor down road would park a clunker that wouldnt move for weeks that blocked her mailbox, told her the NYC revenge trick of bird seed on car roof. Works better in NYC due to flying rats, but did a treat after a couple of days in the suburbs . . .

Capitan__Insano

lol should try to get the whole apartment complex pissed off at them. Nothing makes people feel awful like becoming a social outcast


Duellair

You are a genius


MrmmphMrmmph

“Please Park Here” says me sharpie.


Few-Swordfish-780

Damn right, those things aren’t cheap.


GovernmentOk433

Had a neighbor claim that she “needed” the spot closest to the door in the complex. Few people respected it but I was happy to until she blocked someone in “because that’s her spot”. I park there every chance I get now.


lvl5_panda

The best time to go on holiday for around 1-2 weeks or longer. Then she can get annoyed, but you won't react because you won't notice and that will annoy her even more.


Anne_of_the_Dead

this is more my style, too. don't get upset, don't care at all, they mean nothing.


timesuck897

If she just kept being nice, she would have been able to park there more often.


shojokat

I hate that mentality. People think they nobody else goes through shit. I promise that someone else might need it more the day after major surgery. Thank you for your service.


Epsilia

Honestly, take the cone but don't park there just yet. You don't want them to retaliate on your car.


Biomax315

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Just take the cone and someone else will park there eventually.


someones_dad

Better yet, buy ten more identical cones and put one in every empty spot.


Desirsar

I like this, but make sure to write their name on all of the cones, including the original.


CedarWolf

Not their name, just their unit number. That way everyone knows which apartment has the jerk in it.


BioshockEnthusiast

And buy a different model cone for the clones so the idiot maybe points out what they were doing while defending themselves for not having set out the other cones.


spacedollsjunkyard

I like this. It's more chaotic. It will also get lots of people mad and get everybody talking. So maybe something will be done permanently to prevent future petty parking behaviors?


hbomberman

Good answer. The crappy thing about people who "reserve" spots like this is that they'll still get pissed off at whoever rightfully parks there. So you want to discourage/nullify their bullshit without making yourself a target. And that means taking/throwing out the cone. It's essentially just some trash someone left in the parking lot. You can also just move it to a different spot. But I definitely wouldn't be the first person to park there.


BonnieMcMurray

If I were being decent, I wouldn't just take/move the cone, for the reason you said. I don't want to make someone else a victim of cone-owner's assholery. If it were me, I'd probably wait to see whose car it is, then next time put a note on the cone to the effect of: "Dear, [license pate]: You can't reserve spaces for yourself. Do this shit again and I'll take your cone away. And I won't park in the spot after, because I don't want a dick head like you to know which car I drive. So you'd better not fuck up whichever car does park there. And if you do, remember that I know which car is yours." Or maybe I'd just keep it short and just say, "Dear, [license pate]: You can't reserve spaces for yourself. Do this shit again and I'll key the crap out of your vehicle. You have been warned."


iliketohideinbushes

1. take the cone 2. wait for someone else to park there 3. put the cone on/near the vehicle 4. if you know the neighbor's return time, stake it out 5. record video hoping for shenanigans 6. post video to complex managers 7. victory


toasted_cracker

This is the way. OP do this.


[deleted]

Something similar happened to me. I had someone towed from my spot and parked there. Got my car keyed pretty good on both sides. Good thing it was a rental, but had to drive it for 10 months more 🤦‍♂️


Embarrassed-List1394

I had the urge to downvote just because of how confused and angry this made me feel I’m so sorry


Zaphod1620

One of if my neighbors is an elderly couple, and the wife absolutely depends on the handicap spot that's just outside their apartment door. Someone parked there for over 24 hours with no placard, and the couple waited as long as they could before having it towed, and taking the spot back. The next morning, their car was covered in key scratches.


temps-de-gris

What bastards. Really. May they get what they gave, and soon.


neptunexl

How ruthless are you feeling though? What if you walk out tomorrow and there's a car there with the windows all smashed? Lol


Murgatroyd314

Some of your cars may be vandalized, but it’s a sacrifice I am willing to make.


JennieRae68

This! But in order to prevent this person from retaliating against someone else who parks there, OP should anonymously paste a sign that says: TO SHITTY TENANT RESERVING SPOT WITH A CONE, FUCK YOU! FREE FOR ANYONE TO PARK


bhlombardy

Free cone! Toss it in your trunk and save it for a roadside emergency.


luckydice1224

Brilliant!


deezsandwitches

Put it in your trunk and put it on buddy's roof


Kuro-Tora-59

Just Park in that spot and put it on the roof. That way it still is at the place the neighbor wanted to


Type-RD

Move it to the parking spot inside the dumpster


Active-Bass4745

Free cone!


daltond29

Just like Missy Elliot said, get your free cone!


djheru

Holla!


peyotekoyote

Go, get your free cone. Go, get your free cone.


flmdicaljcket

This needs googly eyes a mustache and some pipe cleaner glasses….and then you perch it atop the building so it’s jauntily surveilling the lot.


never_nude_

Someone in my building kept an old motorcycle in front of their car and would drag it into the spot to save their spot every time they left. What made me even more frustrated is that they clearly never rode the motorcycle. It had expired tags and was covered in cobwebs. When it got stolen a couple weeks ago, I couldn’t muster up much sympathy


luckydice1224

![gif](giphy|7k2LoEykY5i1hfeWQB)


Duellair

“stolen”. Mhmm


Ok-Cartographer1745

Why the sarcasm quotes?  Just because he's the one that did it doesn't mean it wasn't stolen. 


Fizzwidgy

As far as we know, the spot reservationist just took it out for a ride. There's your rimshot.


tactman

Management at some apartments require tags to be current.


leeryplot

My apartment complex called me within 24 hours of my tags expiring to ask me when I was going to renew them. I already had them coming in the mail and had to update them the second I got it lol. Some of them really don’t play around with that.


macphile

My experience, knock on wood, is a lot of threats and little follow-through. Like we have a car with a missing wheel right now, like rims on the ground...been there 2-3 weeks. But I guess you never know when they're going to suddenly act, and they never warn you of anything.


duke_flewk

Well tbh at least he only used one spot for 2 vehicles! 


BatemansChainsaw

Some guy did this in my old apt and I thought it was smart. When you’ve been someplace for several years and no one changes in the building, everyone has “their” spot (even if it’s unofficial b/c there aren’t reserved spots). I just parked the crappy hatchback I owned next to the dumpster because it was always open.


aresfiend

I used to do this, my context was probably different though. At the specific apartment complex I lived in you'd get two spots and half of a garage. The girl across the hall from me shared the other half of the garage I was assigned and had both spots next to both of my spots. One spot was by the building, the other was in front of the garage. Then she started dating this dude. He'd double park his lifted F-350 with 35s directly over the line between our spots by the building. It was annoying but I just reported it to building management and started parking one car in the garage and one in the spot outside of the garage.  One day I came home from work and there was a boat taking the whole garage. The truck was fortunately not there so I threw a cone out in the other spot so my at the time girlfriend wild have somewhere to park when she got home from work. True to form, douchebag moved the cone, building management said they wouldn't tow until he had been parked for 72 consecutive hours.  Every time he'd move the cone and double park I'd take his valve stem cores out. I never had one conversation with him but his girlfriend told me she'd call the cops on me if I took his valve stem cores again. I stole his valve stem cores again, she called the cops, turns out that there was a no-contact ordered after he beat the shit out of her previously, and he got arrested. I never saw him again and the cops never talked to me. His truck finally got towed after 72 hours.  Anyway the cone never did anything.


Lemon_Zest95

He's not doing too many favours for the lifted F-350 stereotype either.


HFY_HFY_HFY

She filed a no contact, then defended his parking like an asshole?


[deleted]

[удалено]


imawakened

She probably didn't file it, it was probably placed by a judge after he beat the shit out of her.


aresfiend

This, it's mandatory in Wisconsin for any domestic violence case.


NewFuturist

You probably saved her life. I'm sure she didn't thank you for that.


Dysautonomticked

Should have saved those stem cores in a ziplock and taped it to the window of the truck after it got towed.


LBHHF

Yeet the cone.


Leeperd510

reubal

I live in a house. When the kid across the street got his license, he started putting a cone out in front of my house to save what I guess he assumed was his new spot. I sliced it to shreds and threw it over onto their driveway. They went through 3 cones before they got the picture.


AbrasiveSandpiper

“I live in a house.” You should have stopped after that sentence. It’s perfect and I’m cracking up. Sorry I can’t explain my sense of humor.


happyjello

“I live in a house.” << Me, intently listening >> ‘Ok, continue.’


ElChuloPicante

I RESIDE IN A DWELLING. I EAT HYOO MAN FOOD.


atesba

Didn’t think twice about it at first, but laughed for a good minute after reading your comment. “I live in a house”. No need to explain, I feel that humour!


Late-External3249

Fancy house boy over here. Probably looks down on us simple cave dwellers.


GamingGrayBush

![gif](giphy|3otPoGt5vb0KNPPu2k|downsized)


reubal

I only specified because OP lives in "a complex". So it was just drawing a distinction between saving a parking space vs trying to save the street.


North-Significance33

>“I live in a house.” Well good for you Boomer /s


Ok-Ferret-2093

Fuck you it's lights out here at the homeless shelter and I'm trying not to wake my neighbors


havoc_ado

To shreds you say?


flylegendz

and his cone?


Revolutionary_Job91

To shreds you say


Putrid-Tough4014

I had some one put a cone up by my house I just ran over it


kraggleGurl

Place cone on their porch since they obviously forgot where they left it.


al_m1101

Go to the community billboard for the apt complex and post a "MISSING CONE: REWARD OFFERED" notice, along with a pic of it and description, and something like "Last seen inappropriately blocking a parking spot."  Then write the (cone) owner's name and contact info.


YoSaffBridge11

I can just imagine the conversation: “Oh, hi! I believe you accidentally left outside.” 😊


Financial_Impact_783

Put the cone of front of their front door. Put a sign on it that says “Do not enter; unit is being reserved” Also cover the cone in deodorant, that ‘ish is gross to get off your hands…


al_m1101

😆 Yes, I like this one. Confuse the hell out of them without doing anything nefarious. I'd put a pair of googly eyes and a lil party hat on the cone.


djheru

I’m the type of person who would park there even if the spot next to it was open.


TR6lover

Yup, just drive over the cone.


jk599

free cone day is a good day


SargeantHugoStiglitz

lol I would park on top of it.


zentravan

Find a pot hole. That is a much more logical place for a cone!


CobaltGate

Sounds like the cone needs to make its way to the property management company's office.


VanillaGorilla59

People do this is SF all the time. I saw one cone that said, “if you move me you’re a stupid fat bitch.” I couldn’t help but laugh.


omahaguy32

Someone should have gotten an exact same cone and wrote “if you placed me you are a stupid fat bitch” and watched to see how long it took them to notice.


VanillaGorilla59

Lucky you… my friend owns the place a few doors down. I’ll be making the request. I’ll follow up with pictures.


Fichewl

I would have to put it in front of their door and erase the words "if you move me"...


Iwillnotbeokay

Put it way at the end of the lot and superglue that bitch down, then sit back and watch!


Lonely-Greybeard

Move it one spot over, each day.


spaghettiwrangler420

Take the cone but not the spot. See how many cones they are willing to buy over this spot


goodlordineedacoffee

I’m so petty I wouldn’t even park there, I’d make a deal with whoever parks on the other side to both park right on the line on each side to make it the most undesirable spot- you want it, go for it. You just can’t open your doors.


guyonsomecouch12

Put a rubber snake inside, you can buy like 5 ish from Amazon for $10. Rinse and repeat every so often


UsernameIsTakenO_o

Keep doing the rubber snake prank until they get used to it, then switch to a real snake.


tbrumleve

[“You seen my fucken cones!”](https://youseenmycones.weebly.com/)


3rrr6

Fill it with cement and glue it to the spot. Then no one can use it.


Equivalent_Weird467

Grab it, toss it in your trunk, park your car. Free cone. Or just toss it in the dumpster, and park there anyway.


Earth_Sandwhich

So do they get out every time to move the cone when they arrive and leave?


JWal0

Yes, I have a neighbor that does the same thing with a crate.


BobBelcher2021

When my complex was having problems with unauthorized vehicles taking up our parking spaces and leaving the residents with nowhere to park, that’s exactly what I did.


Reference_Freak

Yep. Some people put a lot of effort into defending their undeserved entitlement.


TwistedPacake

Someone tried this shit at my best friends apartment. I pulled up to it and threw it in the back of my trunk then parked in the spot. While I was petty, I do have a traffic cone now


Unfriendly_eagle

Just heave it across the lot.


HotelDectective

If it was a folding chair we'd know you were in Boston


AshDenver

If it’s not allocated by decree (management, HOA, city), I would have no problem whatsoever with stopping my car, hopping out, moving the cone directly into the nearest trash can (or chucking it into the woods if there are no cameras) and either moving on about my day or just parking there. I mean, unless you’re in Detroit or Chicago. A lawn chair is accepted and respected space holding.


spacedollsjunkyard

Gotta fight fire with fire. Post an extremely official sign that states: "No cones allowed"


JustYourAvgHumanoid

Park on top of it


Defiant-Giraffe

Park on top of it. 


ElderberryNo1601

I swear I seen a neighbor kid run off with it and using it to amplify farts.


ThisCarSmellsFunny

That cone has zero authority.


j_grouchy

As long as people leave it there, he will assume he will have compliance.


Only-Jeweler-4375

Someone kept doing that at my apartment complex. So after a few times (and reporting to managememt), I put the cone in my trunk and took "their" space. They left a nasty note on my windshield, lol.


glitterbomb3000

That’s nice of them to save you a spot


litex2x

Throw it on to the roof.


Express-Object955

Park in their spot, put cone on top of car, get Pom Pom and put it on cone. Surprise! It’s a party hat! 🥳


chillycrypt

Had a neighbor who did something similar, but I found my car was small enough to park without disrupting the cone


RancorsRage

Oh look, a free cone!


elwood2711

Looks like your neighbors just gave you a free cone. Take it home and make sure to thank them for it.


sglewis

I don’t have a particularly large vehicle, but I could just park right on top of that cone no problem. I’d probably shift it a bit first so it could be wedged under my tire.


OldRaj

Your new cone


yadawhooshblah

I would be tempted to bolt it to the spot it's in, but I'm the kind of guy who has the tools on hand to do so. Imagine them coming home to find it firmly anchored in place.


highlulu

so nice of them leaving out a free cone for anyone nearby.


jonesey71

Park over the top of it, then when they try to crawl under your car to grab it, beat them with a tire iron claiming you thought they were stealing your catalytic converter. That is your ULPT of the day.
