Buy some toy matchbox cars and put one in the centre of every space one morning. Then order some flowers round with an apology for the shaky start 🙂

Commission a pavement artist to come over one night and draw giant inferno pits of hell in each of your spaces, then park in theirs. When she complains, just point at your spaces and go 'Duuurrrgh!' and refuse to enter any discussion. If she goes to walk on them pull har back and then claim by email to your mate / cc everyone that you saved her life.

The best bit is - they have 30 spaces (as do we), and 8 employees..

Makes absolutely no difference. If they own or rent the building and the 30 spaces then they are legally [i]theirs[/i]. They might even need the extra spaces for meetings and events - but whatever, it's their business. I have been there and done that and have several t-shirts, so I can sympathise with your nemesis.

I know it's cool in a kind of sixth form student-debate, Trotskiist way to diss the concept of capital and property, but look at it this way; if your neighbours started parking cars, caravans, skips on the driveway of your home, because there was space to do so, would you put up with it?

Steal a load of cars and burn them out in "their" spaces. The police will understand, just show them this thread.

I have nothing to suggest but it's good to see STW carries on having a good number of members still waiting for their sense of humour to appear 😛

Bouquet of flowers for the stressed neighbour when you go round to borrow some sugar. Sit down, have a chat, try and get an angle on her point of view. It could be a very long tennancy trying to be ever more creative to subvert/wind up.
We had a Mr Traffic at our previous lease, a royal PITA with fluorescent yellow coat but this was with five or nine spaces per office with n+1 people wanting a slot.
No cycle rack, no-one would sacrifice a space.

My goodness the practical advice is dull!

Just pretend your car broke down and you had to push it into one of their slots, and then leave it there for two weeks while you cycle to work. 🙂

Draw the outline of a body in white paint in one of the spaces and cordon it off with Blue and White police tape.

If you've got eight staff then why not all park in a swastika type pattern right outside the lovely lady's office?

We had five spaces at our old office, which was fine to start with as their was just two of us based in the office most days, and I walked. Some of the other offices in the building had loads of staff and still only five spaces.
From time to time we had the reps, MD, accountant, share holders etc come to visit and the 4 spare spaces from the office would always be taken.
The MD solved this by arranging for works vans to be parked in the spaces of the facilities manager, and the two labelled spaces for MD's of the other offices, within a few days we stopped having issues.

unscrew and move them all around

Just do this.

Do the disabled spots have any legal protection? Putting their company signs on disabled parking spots does smack of tiny-mindedness.

It sounds like the sort of thing that should be horribly illegal. I'd expect you'd have a pretty solid discrimination case if a disabled person was prevented from using a disabled bay for a building.

just make sure everyone 3 point turns in their spaces when entering and leaving the car park for a week or two, as moaning about this is petty and ridiculous.

Apart from that, don't park in their spaces and let it go.

Club together and buy a scrap car then polish it up so it looks nice and leave across 2 spaces.Randomly move it each night.

Presumably a 13point turn os acceptable. Leave a note held against her bumper with yours.

Have a serious word with yourself and ask who is actually getting more worked up about this....

I'm inclined to think it's not the OP...

Meh, I'm over it now.

It was fun to see the blood bank at work yesterday, although if I had of been there in the morning, I know where I would have suggested the HGV should have parked... 😉

Make sure that she's watching out the window, run out to the car park and do the hokie cokie with your car in one of their disabled spots

Made even better if I [s]tag team with colleagues[/s] strip off first...

So your business upped sticks and moved office without checking how much car parking was included in the terms of the new lease?

Thats actually more funny than the mad MD with the post it notes.

In reality it sounds like the fm people failed to actually tell the new tenants about car parking and if they are letting one of the tenants walk all over them it's probably not going to be a great time.

I think you should start leaving these coming out of each of their spaces...
