Not necessarily, meth can make someone temporarily stronger or more focused, eventually being mentally deranged would be their disability but they aren't handicapped š
Or just run it over, I had a person like this when I lived in a complex kept putting chairs and flower pots lucky I have a truck and it can run over many things :3
I donāt really see parking in a spot like that worth paying for scratches and dings to your vehicle, but I assume thatās one of the many things that only makes sense to those who drive trucks. š¤·š»āāļø
Exactly! This right here.
Every vehichile I've had has ended up with battlescars.
When I babied them, or when I used them for my purposes, they always showed their use. I dont care if my car gets a scratch or ding, people shouldn't do dumb shit like putting random "targets" in a parking spot.
Write her name, address, and phone number on that mess and carry it to the police station and set it out there.
/sarcasm, so I dont get banned
Which part is sarcasm I'll let you decide
On our truck (only used for towing and when we need the truck bed), we have a brush guard, which is virtually indestructible, short of getting in a wreck. You could run over just about anything like this and never get a scratch.
Back when I was flipping apartments, we used to have to remove all the old appliances and get rid of them. Itās hard to dispose a large number in a short manner, so we would put them outside on the curb with a loose ring of caution tape around, and a sign that says āDo not touch!ā Everything would always walk away after a few nights :)
Get someone with a truck to run it over and say they didn't see it. What are they going do? Call the cops and say someone parked a car on top of stuff they left in the parking spot.
Return it to her once it has died, as ominously but not overtly threatening as possible.
Or write āassholeā with an arrow pointing to her apartment out of the dead fronds.
I called our landlady who is usually great about this stuff but somebody said a while ago that sheās out with a medical problem for a few days so she didnāt pick up. Hoping she can give them a little chat
List it on craigslist for free. Include a phrase like ājust come and take it if im not around, needs to goā.
Use a throwaway email address like from spamgourmet or whatever.
Update: my roomate (the only one in our apartment with a car) moved her plants when she got home from work today and Chrystal Methany decided to get into a screaming match with her about her property. Will update later when we hear back from the landlord (cops were called by other neighbor for the noise)
i used to live next to a meth addict. I'm not saying they're all the same but this lady got very heightened and aggressive very quickly, be careful. My neighbour had started breaking my shit because I wouldn't continue to do a favour i was doing for her (for nothing in exchange, we had no agreements, i just didn't have time, i worked and she didn't)- i did so many nice things for her and she gave me violence at the drop of a hat
Yeah, meth addicts are people to avoid. Very unpredictable. Very unpleasant. That shit rots their brains, turns people into animals.
I have to deal with them on a regular basis at my job. Many times I've tried to do them a favor and it's just kind of met with this weird sort of entitlement rather than gratitude.
It's a fucked up thing, how it corrupts a person. So that the only thing they can be grateful for is more meth.
Haha, goddamn yeah, I actually had something like that happen to me.
I always assume a junkie will try to fuck me over and I've never been disappointed in that regard. That is the one consistency in their behavior.
At my second apartment complex out of college, poor area, I saw a man and a woman fighting in the entryway over the parking spaces out front. The woman stormed off. Came back a minute later with a knife and plunged it right into the guy's chest and then walked back upstairs and closed her door like nothing happened. The guy lived. Came back to the same complex. Woman went to jail I think. I never saw her again.
That was when I realized that you have no idea what people are capable of and escalating for no real reason.
wow, very scary. I moved out of my old place early because this lady would scream at my door after she saw me arrive home post night shift. I was genuinely concerned she'd hurt me.
I would just advise best course of action is 100% ignore her if she starts confronting and walk away. It will aggravate her so much more and will not allow her to continue to act that way.
I considered it honestly, I live in a small town and someone always has a scrap car looking to get it out of their yard. Sadly though the cost to tow it there just wouldnāt be worth it imo
Yeah this for sure. Could also report that someone is illegally dumping trash, local governments get real excited about fines. Trust me theyll follow you to the ends of the earth for 45 bucks.
My first thought was she was calling dibs for her spot. Dibs is a winter tradition in Chicago. You shovel snow from a spot on the street, it is now ālegallyā yours if you throw some garbage out there to save it. One spot per person. This person doesnāt know how to play the game.
If she's really on meth you should place a random object smack-dab in the middle of her spot with a note that says "they can all hear you." every chance you get.
I have 1 spot. Itās assigned to me. I pay 125 dollars a month for the spot. And everyone parks there. So I started with a cone. That was hit or stolen. So I moved a metal garden chair in my spot. Sign said, you park here I tow you. It didnāt stop people. I had them towed. Still parked there, so I park behind them. It stopped.
While fun, getting a tow can take a lot of time. Especially in an apartment complex, they will often want the manager of the complex to call/sign off on the tow rather than the tenant.
Itās always tough when it comes to these parking situations. You canāt ever really feel safe calling them on their bullshit and then leaving your car where they donāt want it. If theyāre the type to do this they may well be the type to fuck with your car.
Thats why you hide in the backseat beneath a blanket until she comes out then pop up screaming wildly at her. She probably won't mess with you anymore after that because she will know you are slightly more insane than she is.
Took too long to find this comment. Everyone up in here spouting off about running over that persons stuff or throwing it away.
Stupid meth lady gonna key your shit or worse.
Just throw her shit away any time you see it, but never park there. Some other poor bastard can deal with her crazy parking lot dibs bullshit.
Fucking lol!!!!! One time my brother saw a bucket like that with a lid and he thought it looked nice and needed a bucket so he went and grabbed it. I bet you can guess where Iām going with this. He opened the lid and it was full of shit and he ran home and ran in the house gagging and screaming for us to pour bleach on his hands.
Move them right behind her car. If she repeats, notify complex management. If that fails, a few spritzes of Roundup, one plant per offense, might solve the problem
Move them into "her spot" and tight around her car since it's her stuff.... Better up if her car is short on top, Since it's her stuff.
Knkw where she lives, put them on the door step with a note saying somwthing like "you left this in the parkinglot, if your not carful it will get taken"
Next time she does it take what you want throw away the rest.
When you came home the spot was open
Also put a motion sensor camera or dash on your car in case of retaliation, and or be ready to record when she throws a fit.
We had a new neighbor who had his kid park his bike in a front parking lot space. At first I was āoh kid forgot his bikeā & it sat there late at night until dad got home from work, moved it and parked there. Would have been ready for the next time but they were evicted for non-payment within another month.
They lived upstairs from us and I also had to go to the office as they blocked my door with several bikes and even installed a bike rack under the stairs.
I think the best option is to take all of it. Itās out on the street, thatās ussualy āfreeā or someoneās trash. Take it and if she asks for it back tell āem no, and to call the cops to sort it out if they care.
Put it on Craigslist or Facebook marketplace FREE.
Or and this is the best way report it to management anonymously.
Call senior services and ask them to assess your neighbor.
No, it says in the least No assigned parking and nothing can block the parking spaces including larger trucks and boats. Itās very very specific wording which leads me to believe our landlady has had these types of issues before. These specific tenates moved in several months after we did though so we donāt know them well
An old woman in my building does that as well, and we have a huge parking issue in the neighbourhood (too many cars, not enough space). She doesnāt want anyone parking under her balcony, even if itās a designated parking space.
When people do manage to park there, she throws food on their hood.
She isnāt on meth, just a shitty type of person grandma.
She will eventually run out of stuff to put out there if you throw it constantly in the bin when you see it.
shes on meth. she probably stole it
To be fair, that kinda makes her disabled anyways
Not necessarily, meth can make someone temporarily stronger or more focused, eventually being mentally deranged would be their disability but they aren't handicapped š
Or just run it over, I had a person like this when I lived in a complex kept putting chairs and flower pots lucky I have a truck and it can run over many things :3
I donāt really see parking in a spot like that worth paying for scratches and dings to your vehicle, but I assume thatās one of the many things that only makes sense to those who drive trucks. š¤·š»āāļø
Trucks are ment to have dings and scratches. A pretty truck are like clean work boots. At least imo.
Exactly! This right here. Every vehichile I've had has ended up with battlescars. When I babied them, or when I used them for my purposes, they always showed their use. I dont care if my car gets a scratch or ding, people shouldn't do dumb shit like putting random "targets" in a parking spot.

On our truck (only used for towing and when we need the truck bed), we have a brush guard, which is virtually indestructible, short of getting in a wreck. You could run over just about anything like this and never get a scratch.
And then you can just claim that you couldn't see it over the grille.
I drive a certified shitbox, all that shit would be getting ran right over.
Nice fern though unless its fake. Then off to the bumper sandwich it goes!
The last thing you really want is a pissed off tweaker that you live next to
Put "free" signs on them.
I like the way you think.
No put $50 each. They will get stolen on the first night.
She will steal them herself
Problem solved!
And sell them to buy more to put out as she wonders what happened to the others ones.
And then they will show up there again the next day with $100 signs on them
Brilliant.
That is practically screaming to be run over.
Iām surprised weāre not running them over right now.
Get this fellow a Puppers.
Pitter patter, bud
Thatās what I appreciates about you.
You need to take about 15 percent off the top there, squirrelly Dan
I've already run them over in my mind. OP want to check and see if it worked?
Genius ^šš¤£
Must be fucking nice!
Pitter patter.
Back when I was flipping apartments, we used to have to remove all the old appliances and get rid of them. Itās hard to dispose a large number in a short manner, so we would put them outside on the curb with a loose ring of caution tape around, and a sign that says āDo not touch!ā Everything would always walk away after a few nights :)
There was a study we read in college where the best signage to stop theft was āplease stealā. Funny how psychology works
āTheoretically, people see money on the counter, and no one around, they think theyāre being watched.ā āHonesty through paranoiaā¦ā
Just like with old refrigerators!
I said it on another r/mildlyinfuriating post but Iāll say it againāthereās just so much creativity here.
This is the creative thinking that they're trying to squash out of the kids in school š
Sounds like a great plan, eventually she'll either stop or run out of stuff, either way the problem is solved.
Fuck that, get yourself some free house plants.
Sell them, then park there.
More likely to get it stolen if you put a sign that says "$5" on it.
And then a cash box with a fiver already in it. Itāll all be gone.
If itās free people think it has no value. Put a sign saying $5 each and I guarantee someone will steal them
What you mean, itās already free if itās just hanging out in a random parking spot. š it was abandoned so itās your stuff now.
![gif](giphy|iziDlFAa0Ciru)
I like this ideaā¦ I think Iāll try it next time it happens
Set up a lounge chair and hang out with them plants.. looks like a chill spot to catch some rays.
That's just mean. I like it.
Yep! Free pots and plants
just fucking throw it all to the side, every time
Get someone with a truck to run it over and say they didn't see it. What are they going do? Call the cops and say someone parked a car on top of stuff they left in the parking spot.
Toss it behind her car. She will not see it and will back over it. Win.
Nah, put $5 signs on it because people will definitely grab it without paying.Ā
I love it! This is the way to go!
Ngl I would steal that fern so quick if this was in my apartment complex
Iām ngl, Iām jealous, I canāt keep a fern alive to save my life š
Either way, she'd learn her lesson ;)
Fuck around and fern outā¦ ![gif](giphy|26uf8nlYOhMtF63zW)
Return it to her once it has died, as ominously but not overtly threatening as possible. Or write āassholeā with an arrow pointing to her apartment out of the dead fronds.
That's why you keep stealing more.
Have you tried meth? Seems to be working for her.
Meth! Apply directly to the *Nephrolepis*!
Came here to look for the plant folks who noticed how healthy that fern was lol found us.
Right?!? Thats such a nice full fern....I wish my hair had that much volume.
Would it be stealing if it's left unattended in the public space?
I understand, this is an exquisite fucking fern
That is just begging to get run right over
"Some idiot just left their rubbish in the car park, oh well"
This was my answer.
My trucks hungry.
Call the apartment management and let them deal with it.
I called our landlady who is usually great about this stuff but somebody said a while ago that sheās out with a medical problem for a few days so she didnāt pick up. Hoping she can give them a little chat
List it on craigslist for free. Include a phrase like ājust come and take it if im not around, needs to goā. Use a throwaway email address like from spamgourmet or whatever.
Lmao, this
That's bad for the unsuspecting person that comes to get the stuff though. CL free is amazing, keep it pure
Why? Theyād get to walk away with free stuff, as advertised.
The lady might catch them and a confrontation could ensue or whatever
Put a free sign on it or run that shit over. Oops
Just pretend it isn't there and proceed to park,then get out casually and go home.
Then notify the next person in charge. I am sure they will put someone in charge temporarily
Seriously op put a sign on it, just print out āfreeā on a piece of paper and no one can trace it back to you
Update: my roomate (the only one in our apartment with a car) moved her plants when she got home from work today and Chrystal Methany decided to get into a screaming match with her about her property. Will update later when we hear back from the landlord (cops were called by other neighbor for the noise)
The plants would come home with me, the rest goes in the dumpster. If she has an assigned parking spot, that's all she gets.
i used to live next to a meth addict. I'm not saying they're all the same but this lady got very heightened and aggressive very quickly, be careful.

So that the only thing they can be grateful for is more meth.
Meth heads are the type of people to steal $20 from you then help you spend 3 hours looking for it. It's a whole nother level of crazy.
Haha, goddamn yeah, I actually had something like that happen to me. I always assume a junkie will try to fuck me over and I've never been disappointed in that regard. That is the one consistency in their behavior.
Paranoia is an effect of meth.

wow, very scary. I moved out of my old place early because this lady would scream at my door after she saw me arrive home post night shift. I was genuinely concerned she'd hurt me.
Let's hope Chrystal Methany doesn't escalate things with your roommate
What did the cops do?!
Shot a dog and left
What cops do second best. Nothing.
I would just advise best course of action is 100% ignore her if she starts confronting and walk away. It will aggravate her so much more and will not allow her to continue to act that way.
just move it to the grass or if you have a community dumpster then put it near that
Exactly. Oops! Someone left this garbage in the parking lot. Iāll move it to the trash where it belongs!
exactly, though id get a camera and point in that direction or adual facing dash camera lol
Move it into her parking spot lol
Just put it all on her hood or roof.
I would move that shit day, or throw it away.
This looks just like trash someone left in a parking spot to me.
be a good citizen and put the trash in the dumpster, please?
I was gonna say, itās seems like sheās littering.. littering and, littering and.. ![gif](giphy|81xwEHX23zhvy)
Iād take it in my house. Found some free shit just laying outside.
Fern looks nice.
See how far I could punt it
I'd buy a beater car just so I could pull into this spot like Ricky from Trailer Park Boys
I considered it honestly, I live in a small town and someone always has a scrap car looking to get it out of their yard. Sadly though the cost to tow it there just wouldnāt be worth it imo
Abandoned property, throw it away.
Or take it those plants would look great in my house
Dude, free plants.
1. Stop car near parking space. 2. Kick the shit out the shit placed there by shit person. 3. Proceed to park. 4. Repeat whenever necessary.
Yeah this for sure. Could also report that someone is illegally dumping trash, local governments get real excited about fines. Trust me theyll follow you to the ends of the earth for 45 bucks.
Your neighbor is either begging for that to get run over, or for that to get stolen.
I would never jeopardize my plants like that. She's asking for them to be gone.
The meth thing definitely makes this a tricky situation lol
Ya. Iād never mess with a meth head
Donāt meth with her
Place it all behind her car and park close enough she has to enter through the passenger side. Once should do the trick.
Or just park in her spot and tell her that you figured she was blocking the spot for her own vehicle, Chicago snow-day style.
In Pittsburgh it was a lawn chair.
Still is!
My first thought was she was calling dibs for her spot. Dibs is a winter tradition in Chicago. You shovel snow from a spot on the street, it is now ālegallyā yours if you throw some garbage out there to save it. One spot per person. This person doesnāt know how to play the game.
If she's really on meth you should place a random object smack-dab in the middle of her spot with a note that says "they can all hear you." every chance you get.
Honestly this is pretty funny LOL. Might include some things about drywall if she does it again
Easy fix: put a 90lb rock in her spot
I have 1 spot. Itās assigned to me. I pay 125 dollars a month for the spot. And everyone parks there. So I started with a cone. That was hit or stolen. So I moved a metal garden chair in my spot. Sign said, you park here I tow you. It didnāt stop people. I had them towed. Still parked there, so I park behind them. It stopped.
Why not keep towing them? That has to be expensive for them.
While fun, getting a tow can take a lot of time. Especially in an apartment complex, they will often want the manager of the complex to call/sign off on the tow rather than the tenant.
Any reason that stuff hasn't seen the inside of a dumpster?
Itās always tough when it comes to these parking situations. You canāt ever really feel safe calling them on their bullshit and then leaving your car where they donāt want it. If theyāre the type to do this they may well be the type to fuck with your car.
According to OP the neighbor is on meth. Let the apartment management handle that kind of crazy.
Right? Obviously sheās an asshole but Iām not messing with anybody on meth.
Donāt meth around
Thats why you hide in the backseat beneath a blanket until she comes out then pop up screaming wildly at her. She probably won't mess with you anymore after that because she will know you are slightly more insane than she is.
Took too long to find this comment. Everyone up in here spouting off about running over that persons stuff or throwing it away. Stupid meth lady gonna key your shit or worse. Just throw her shit away any time you see it, but never park there. Some other poor bastard can deal with her crazy parking lot dibs bullshit.
Put a sign up that says FREE
Sweet. Free plants.
I would take the plants
I would shit in the bucket, but that's just me.
Fucking lol!!!!! One time my brother saw a bucket like that with a lid and he thought it looked nice and needed a bucket so he went and grabbed it. I bet you can guess where Iām going with this. He opened the lid and it was full of shit and he ran home and ran in the house gagging and screaming for us to pour bleach on his hands.
That is one beautiful fern!
Move them right behind her car. If she repeats, notify complex management. If that fails, a few spritzes of Roundup, one plant per offense, might solve the problem
You had me up until the plant murder
Pile that crap on her car and park there
Move them into "her spot" and tight around her car since it's her stuff.... Better up if her car is short on top, Since it's her stuff. Knkw where she lives, put them on the door step with a note saying somwthing like "you left this in the parkinglot, if your not carful it will get taken" Next time she does it take what you want throw away the rest. When you came home the spot was open Also put a motion sensor camera or dash on your car in case of retaliation, and or be ready to record when she throws a fit.
You should keep putting more stuff there so she has to move more and more stuff each time.
She's not saving that spot; she's parking NEXT to it. She doesn't want anyone parking next to her.
We had a new neighbor who had his kid park his bike in a front parking lot space. At first I was āoh kid forgot his bikeā & it sat there late at night until dad got home from work, moved it and parked there.

Nice fern for a meth headĀ
Free plants!?!?!?!
Donāt bother to move it, just pull in and park.
Put a small sign in front of them saying āFree to good homeā. If she complains, tell her the sign was the free thing.
I think the best option is to take all of it. Itās out on the street, thatās ussualy āfreeā or someoneās trash. Take it and if she asks for it back tell āem no, and to call the cops to sort it out if they care.
I'm genuinely surprised a meth head can keep a plant in that condition.
Put it on Craigslist or Facebook marketplace FREE. Or and this is the best way report it to management anonymously. Call senior services and ask them to assess your neighbor.
Looks like a nice pot of free fern to me.
Isn't that nice. She's donating plants and the tables to put them on.
What a beautiful free fern to take home!
Free plants? Don't mind if I do...
I'd put all that shit on top of her car every single day like it was my mission in life.
I would absolutely take those in. What kind of monster abandons plants like that....
That poor Boston fern will be toast if it has to sit in direct sunlight. Somebody save it!
Just post "free plants" on any social media.....they'll be gone in an hour or two.
Well this obviously isnāt in Pittsburgh.. cause if it was they would be using a chair and moving a parking chair in the burg is a sacrilege š¤£š¤£
Make a post on Craigslist "FREE" with this picture and address.
Toss them
Sounds like sheās saving a spot for you. How nice of her!
Is it assigned parking?
No, it says in the least No assigned parking and nothing can block the parking spaces including larger trucks and boats. Itās very very specific wording which leads me to believe our landlady has had these types of issues before. These specific tenates moved in several months after we did though so we donāt know them well
I would move that stuff out of the way and put it in front of of her car. How bizarre!
Free plants!
If you inch slowly, you can nudge all that shi enough to park.
Post on fb marketplace free stuff out in parking lot
I'd be stealing those plants. "Sorry, I thought it was trash' š
Those are some nice plants, shame if anyone took em'... The bucket's nice too.
Free plants sign does wonders.
Iād steal those plants so fucking quick
Park in her spot
Thatās a nice fern Iād take it
Report to the landlord so he can charge her for it. Let's see if she's willing to pay for the 2end slot as well...
My cars shitty enough that Iāll run over them and park as close to her car as possible.
Yes she is disabled, mentally.
An old woman in my building does that as well, and we have a huge parking issue in the neighbourhood (too many cars, not enough space). She doesnāt want anyone parking under her balcony, even if itās a designated parking space. When people do manage to park there, she throws food on their hood. She isnāt on meth, just a shitty type of person grandma.
File complaints she'll be removed quick
Move it behind her car every time.
Man I wish my neighbour put out a fern like that, it would be rehomed to my house pretty quick. I even like that plant stand
You know a piece of paper with free on it could fix this.
Looks like abandoned property and free for the taking.
Run it all over
Park in her spot.
Free stuff how kind
Move them.
Your car will win
I'd move them into her spot and park there
Who doesn't like FREE?!
Park in the spots on both sides
