Sorry to send this and clog up your inboxes - because it's just my opinion - but everyone needs to CHILL OUT regarding guest parking. I've lived here over 2 years, and guest parking has never been full for over 12 hours. There is always a spot or 2 available, and I've seen such mean streaks come from people that live here when it comes to guest parking. I do not know who parked in that spot, so this has nothing to do with me - but I think it's just awful that some of the people that live here are driven to leave nasty notes on someone's car. It's childish behavior, and that 'courtesy' sticker that was placed on the window will take the owner some hefty cleaning products (and a lot of wasted time) to remove - It's just rude to do when there were open spots in guest parking all day! Just because someone's friend is parking in the guest parking and it makes you mad that the rules are being broken, is it really ruining your day??? If it is, I seriously suggest you find something else to worry about. There
is no major inconvenience that comes from someone parking there every now and then - or parking there for a few days if need be. So, seriously, if you're leaving mean notes on cars out there - RELAX!!!
