I'm wondering how some of you on here would have dealt with a situation I had. I got the snow removal contract for the complex(Condo's) I live in. I also offered to clear individual parking stalls for a $15 charge to tenants if they wished. It wasn't mandatory. I made a deal with a tenant that I could park my skid steer in her stall, since she uses her garage, and in exchange I would clear her stall. When I cleared snow on Sunday I couldn't clear her stall because her neighbor was parked beside and was partly in her stall. I got the skid steer fixed and went to clear her stall today. The neighbor was parked there and was closer on their own side but I asked the neighbor if they could move their mini-van, which they did. I cleared the snow and parked the skid steer. I came in the house and was told the neighbor to the lady called. I called them and the guy was wondering why I didn't clear his lot. I told him I put put flyers in everyones mailbox, explaining the $15 charge for clearing parking stalls. Then he goes on that he thought I was clearing the whole area and that's the only reason he moved. He said he was on his side(the line was covered in snow) and I shouldn't have bothered him to move his vehicle. I told him I didn't want to damage your vehicle. He kept going on and said it's my responsibility if I hit his vehicle. I just hung up. I'm tired of getting taking advantage of and don't give freebies anymore. I talked to the lady and she told her neighbors I going to be parking there and might clear a little of his lot. These people have a history of parking onto her side(why I couldn't clear her lot initially) and also parking in the visitor only parking lot. They have been warned several times about parking in the visitor only parking lot. I think they just wanted a free clearing of their parking stall. I'm sure they knew about the $15 charge or how else would they have got my phone number. I should mention the guy is East Indian. I've had some good dealings and some bad dealings with them in the past. Would you have done anything different? Thanks in advance. Dave
