A woman in Seattle, Washington, got into a heated dispute with a contractor over a parking spot in a now-viral video. However, how she handled the situation has sparked debate among Internet users.
From the context given, a contractor was hired to perform repairs at Altavista Apartments. However, he had unknowingly parked in a residentโs parking space. Furious, the resident decided to take action.
The video, taken by the victim, captured the moment the woman in question opened the trunk of her white car and removed an unidentified white powder. She proceeded to spray the powder all over the victimโs car, which was a black Audi.ย
Yelling, the woman was captured saying: โGet this sh*t out of my sh*t! B*tch I pay for this sh*t, not you motherf*cker, I do! Yeah, film it all you want, motherf*cker, film that too. You got a nice Snapchat? B*tch you in MY spot, I paid for that!โ
Still recording, the victim can be heard saying he didnโt know it was her spot. โIโm just working here.โ
The contractor eventually went downstairs to take a closer look at the powder the woman had poured on his car. Still livid, the resident insisted that the contractor move his car, but the contractor continued to plead innocence. โIโm working here; I didnโt know that was your spot. I apologize, I didnโt know that.โ However, the woman continued to hurl insults at him.ย
Eventually, the contractor moved his car, and the woman moved into her spot.ย Social media users were divided by the clip, with some supporting the womanโs actions and others condemning them. In the womanโs defense, one user commented, โI mean flour or baby powder, Iโm assuming. Tbh, she could have towed your car, so you really lucky thatโs all it was.โย
Another user added, โI mean she said she pays for the spotโฆ if that’s true, then move your damn car ๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ.โ Other users pointed out that the parking spots were numbered, so โcommon senseโ shouldโve told the contractor they were already paid for.
On the other hand, another group of social media users criticized the womanโs actions. One remarked,
โShe honestly couldโve addressed this in a different way. Itโs not okay for her to vandalize his car.โ Another added, โThereโs no need for this kind of hostility. If youโre paying for this spot, you should be able to tow it, plain and simple. Some people ๐คฆ๐ฝโโ๏ธโย
One user agreed that while the woman had every right to be upset, the man probably couldnโt read any sign that indicated the spot was taken, due to his poor command of English. โThereโs probably a sign stating that there’s reserved parking, and he probably canโt read English, so heโs getting yelled at.โ
Parking spots, whether paid or not, are prone to causing disputes. However, it is possible to resolve any differences without resorting to vandalism of any sort.
