When I was back in highschool, I used to get my F150 and I used to tow peoples cars into the middle of a busy road and leave it there when they took my parking space. If they parked there the next day, I would get a grenade and blow their car up. The next day comes, and I leave a little bit earlier, not speed, not break the law, and get there like 10 minutes before that idiot would steal my parking space again.

So case in point... leave like 5 minutes early. No big deal.

Its not a big deal but if its your buddy parked next to her, just park against her doors. She stays until you decide she leaves.

My advice, learn to use your locker in the building, and just park wherever you can.
X 2!!

If there's no assigned parking, she's basically free to park wherever she choses. If you are caught messing with her vehicle you can be arrested and convicted of, at the very least, Malicious Mischief. Is a silly thing like a parking spot worth an arrest record to you?? Besides, have you given any thought to the idea that by your getting pissed about the whole thing you're playing right into her hands? I'm sure she gets great pleasure in knowing that you are upset about this. Why give her that satisfaction? If you don't care, she loses interest in the game and may move on to easier targets.

Time to grow up son, start acting like a mature adult and park someplace else.

For goodness sake, this isn't even a real parking dilemma. A REAL parking dilemma is what is going at my school, where they sell two parking tags per available space. So, I come in earlier, no big deal, right? Well, the only problem is, there are TONS of cars doing the same (coming in early) that have no parking tag. E-mails/phone calls to the parking services are to no avail. All they do is ticket!

But you didn't see me starting a thread about it. And that, OP, is called manning up and just getting it done!

This, this is good advice.

But I'll be waiting for the thread where this chick's boyfriend stomps the thread starter into the ground for flattening her tires.

I don't think the poster is getting enough sympathy here.

Most of you are too removed from high school to remember what it's like trying to get a wall locker open.

The clock is ticking, you got maybe four minutes tops.
It's like trying to defuse a bomb.

I didnt get to have an assigned parking space until my senior year. And i had to keep my stuff in my locker, but i would have the lock ready by starting the sequence but leaving it on the second number. And when i would return to my locker all i had to do was place it on the third number and it would open. I left it set like that so i could be in and out ASAP. Then on my senior year i left my stuff in my car.

The real question at hand is why the hell are you parking at the front of the lot where your truck is surrounded by tons of morons who will give you plenty of door dings for free?

Someone is clearly not mature enough to operate a motor vehicle on public roadways.

Time to raise the minium driving age to that of the original poster + 1. Or have mommy take away his keys and send him to his room.

Yes, you should tow her car with your truck into heavy traffic, slash her tire and then hopefully she'll get hit while she's trying to change her own spare. I would also stand on the curb pointing and laughing at her while the ambulance drives away.

Why don't you worry about who's parents are going away this weekend so you and your 4 buddies can decide which empty house to split a 12 pack at.

Wow. Just... wow.

You know, if you really want to "get her back", so to speak, you may be holding some of the cards. This is assuming the entire statement was true.

Since your "friends" park next to you (presumably, next to HER now), why don't you have one of your "friends" move their car, and get someone to park a beater right next to her drivers door. I mean like 3" from it. No harm, no foul. A few days of climing over from the passenger seat might make her change her idea of what is a nice parking spot.

Remember that if you damage her car in any way (by towing it, flattening tires, grenades, whatever), you are likely going to be held responsible for it. I'd assume you're also under-age, thus your parents will be extremely upset.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but as several have mentioned, it's not assigned parking, so it's first come, first serve. Can not has. Not yours.

Wait til you get to college and the closest spot you can find is 4 blocks away.
