Tired of coming home to find all the parking spaces in front of your house already taken?
Southeast Calgary resident Justin Kern was, so he decided to put up a professionally printed and bluntly worded sign.
"If you don't live here, don't park in front of my ... house," read the original sign, minus one word that caught the attention of city bylaw officers.

Thoughts on this? While I don't particularly agree with him, and I would never put a sign up like that, I do get annoyed when this happens to me.
During the summer, a vehicle was parked continuously in "my spot" outside my house for a week and a half. Called the city and they just confirmed that it wasn't stolen and that it was likely just somebody visiting for Stampede so to leave it and it would eventually move. It did move a couple days later to a spot across the road. I got my spot back, but when I vacated it the next day, the vehicle was there again for 3-4 days without moving. Turns out it was a new neighbour who moved in, and for whatever reason, rarely drives her vehicle. Thankfully, she parks on her side now. I guess it was just a case of not knowing that it was somebody's regular spot (I had been out of town the week prior) and once she realized it was my spot, she stopped parking in it.
There two spots outside my house, one on my side, one on the neighbour's side. The absolute worst are the people who take up both spots by parking in the middle. It's always some big ass truck. That's infuriating.
