AITJ because I won’t give my parking spot to new neighbor who says she “needs it more” because she has kids?
I live in an apartment complex where parking is assigned. Each unit gets one spot with your unit number painted on it. I’m in unit 12, so I have spot 12. Pretty simple.
New neighbor “Kelly” moved into unit 18 last month with her husband and 3 kids. Her assigned spot is 18, which is further from the building entrance than mine. We’re talking like maybe 40 extra feet of walking.
She knocked on my door last week and asked if we could “trade” parking spots because mine is closer and its “really hard” carrying her kids stuff from the car when the spot is far away. I said sorry but I like my spot and want to keep it.
She seemed shocked I said no. She said “I have THREE KIDS under 5, you live alone, you don’t NEED the close spot like I do.” I told her parking is assigned and I’m not switching.
She went to the landlord and tried to get him to force me to switch. Landlord told her spots are non-transferable unless both parties agree. She came back to me AGAIN and said “please reconsider, your being really selfish here.”
I said no again and she’s been giving me dirty looks ever since. Yesterday she parked in MY spot and when I knocked on her door she said “oh I thought you’d be at work, I just needed to unload groceries quick.” But her car was there for 3 hours.
My sister says I should just switch to be nice but my friend says if I give in she’ll just keep pushing boundaries. AITJ for not giving her my parking spot?
TL;DR: New neighbor with 3 kids wants my assigned parking spot because it’s closer to the building, I said no, she says I’m selfish and keeps parking in my spot anyway.
