I'll bet he's from Texas.

I know there are guys out there who feel they have the right to take up more than one spot. Some cagers do it too, park over a couple lines just to make sure no one gets to close and scratches it. I think it is rude on either part no matter what they drive.
it might be wrong... or at least a little passive aggressive... but i like to park right next to those cars just like they parked.

Wow, what a douche.
So then the building manager from the leasing company decided to put a big 2 on the sign, so that it read "2 Motorcycles Only"... why? I wrote him and asked, and was told "we have a policy." A policy...? The guy was a grade-A arsehole, and for NO reason. Still bugs me 2 years later.
cap'n: you should just add to the sign something like a "+1", or "^2"... You would throw the douche out for a spin trying to figure out the mathematical implications of it, and you would be all legal ;-):rockon:
Believe me, I thought about it. But after that phone call, more happened betwixt us, culminating in me promising my director I'd try not to piss the guy off anymore.
Sometime a few months later, we got a freak snow storm in like October when I wasn't expecting it, and I couldn't ride home that day. It didn't melt away quickly, so the roads were awful for like a week, so I just left the bike down there, covered. I got a big note stuck to it one day saying I to move it immediately or it would get towed (and it was snowing again that day.) I called the guy to ask why it "had" to get moved, given that it was parked in a motorcycle spot. and he said "we don't allow overnight parking, and you've been there for a week." I looked out the window at the snow and explained that street bikes don't really like snow, and I need my legs to be able to work and stuff, and his response was "move it today or I will have it towed." "You can't just tow it, I have a disc lock on it... "Then I'll damage it trying."
So I did. I drove to another of our buildings, slipping and sliding all over the place. I took a picture of the roads but I can't find it - it's good stuff. But first I called our Safety department to inform them what I was about to do, and why. They flipped out, called Legal, who called the A-hole, who said I had been rude to him, had been warned and ignored the warnings, and that it was somehow all my fault. The lawyer apologized, called me, and yelled at me that this was "not worth his time." It was not a good scene, and remains the ONE thing that's happened at this company that has disappointed me.
