WWJD

A friend drops you off after dinner and comes up to your apartment for about an hour. It is night and has been raining off and on all day. Your friend parked without a permit, but since you have lived in the same complex for 3 years and have yet to even see a tow truck in the vicinity, you assume that everything will be fine. Plus it is summer and there are open parking spaces.

Your friend leaves and then comes back about 2 minutes later because a white Lexus is parked where the 1992 Nissan Sentra used to be. Of course your friend's car was towed, and you must make a very annoying 11 PM trip to the tow yard by the fucking airport. Betty, the tow yard skank, is clad in a loose t-shirt and sweat pant shorts and is in desperate need of a hair stylist. She charges your friend $191.45 to liberate his car. Betty is a tad bit bitchy and says the tow trucks patrol, but I find this to be a stretch since I've never seen a tow truck guy get out and check front windshields for permits, especially at night when it is raining. This only reinforces my previous conclusion that some gigantic asshole who lives in the complex called the towing company.

Upon your return, you park your car and see four empty spaces but note that two cars lack parking permits. You would:

A) Report the two vehicles to the towing company.

B) Let the air out of the tires of the white Lexus.

C) Leave a note under the windshield of the white Lexus that said, "Hi - I don't know if you called the towing company last night to have a white Nissan that was parked in this space towed. If you didn't, this note doesn't apply to you. If you did, you suck. There were several open spaces as well as the lot around back. And it was dark and raining."

D) Leave a note under the windshield wiper of the two cars lacking permits. The note says, "You don't have a permit to park here. If I were a hater, I'd call and have you towed, like someone did to my friend. Consider this your lucky day. I saved you $191.45 and a trip to the tow yard by the airport."

Good Question. I'd call the management, because I'm just not that nice.

You have a good 4th, my friend.

Hmm...hard one gut initially said D but now am leaning to A. Damn this is like PMBR!

Second, whoever called to tow was definitely an unjustified bitch.
