So you just spent two hours shoveling out your car, that is, your second car, the one that's not in a numbered parking space. Your back hurts and you decide to go to the CVS for some aspirin.
When you return, a neighbor's car is parked in the space you just shoveled out. You look around and the only spots not taken are the ones that were not occupied before the storm hit; they are buried in a few feet of snow. It would take another two hours to shovel out any of these spaces.
Do you feel like punching your neighbor who cavalierly parked in "your" parking space? Technically, anyone can park in an unnumbered spot. But in this case, it would take a lot more nerve than I have to park in a spot that someone spent hours clearing.
So what can you do to keep some bozo from parking in the spot you broke your back to clear? One solution is to do what some people in my part of Inverness Forest do. Take a look at this picture:
No, it's not Santa's new sleigh. Santa is warning people not to park in that space. Someone has worked hard to clear that space. If you want to park in this area, clear off your own space.
Usually the things people put in the space to reserve it are a lot less colorful than this Santa I came across today. I've used an old milk crate with a pile of junk in it. The purpose is the same, but the person who came up with the Santa was much more imaginative.
And, if you arrive in our community and find a spot with Santa sitting on a chair, please don't move him to the sidewalk so you can park in that spot. You're asking for a punch in the nose!

YES
MY SELFISH NEIGHBOR HAD NO PROBLEM MOVING HER CAR INTO THE SPOT I DUG OUT FOR OVER 2 HOURS!!!!
I WILL PUT MY GARBAGE CAN IN THE SPOT NEXT TIME
Well the same family this time MOVED MY BOX on my (((PUBLIC))) spot that I spent well over 3+ hours shoveling out in the past 2 BLIZZARDS!!!
I have severe back issues so needless to say that shoveling snow is my LEAST favorite activity, root canal included!!!
I am going to come up with a list of BEING A GOOD NEIGHBOR!!
I worked a long FRUSTRATING 15 hour day returning to see my box moved and a van in the spot that I PERSONALLY removed 3 tons of snow from. At 2:30 AM it was the very last thing I needed to deal with as there were ZERO parking spots available EXCEPT for the person who parked in my shoveled spots RESERVED SPOT.
IT IS JUST WRONG AND CERTAINLY NOT WHAT A ENTAILS A ((good neighbor))
The garbage can did not work Mr L.
It makes me sad to see such a high level of DISREGARD from a fellow INVERNESS FOREST DWELLER.
It makes me very envious of my dear friend who lives in ASHBURN VA. He lives in a CUL DE SAC that encompasses 12 homes and they are all great friends and have outings together and open house dinners weekly. Can you believe I am jealous of someone who lives in VIRGINIA???: What a SAD SITUATION!!!
Let's all pray for spring to come early.

I, ME, MINE.
That is the attitude the snow has brought out here @ Inverness Forest.
Blatant DISRESPECT for my box blocking a spot that I shoveled for well over 3 hours + over the span of the 2 major snowfalls.
I'm sorry to say it but RENTERS have no respect and maybe it's time to consider making this an OWNER OCCUPIED COMMUNITY!!
Just a thought,
Mr. Gambino
