My sister got married last night, it was great but there was an issue with me and a cousin of the groom. The wedding was about a 3 hour drive from our house, and the venue is also a resort, so we got one of the rooms that was booked as part of the wedding group.
The place also has complimentary EV chargers, so I didn’t stop to charge along the way. When we got there, one of the chargers were in use and the other had a regular car parked in the spot, blocking it.
This was the corner of the lot, and there was like a utility shed off to the side of that spot, with the golf course behind the parking lot.
I was able to back up to the car and get the charger to reach, without disrupting anyone else. Also as I’m sure people will ask, the spots on the other side of the plugged in car were occupied so that wasn’t an option.
My now brother in law comes up to me later after cake was served and asked if I blocked a car to plug in, and said his cousin was freaking out and that I need to move. No problem, got up right away and went.
But then I get out there and this guy is flipping the fuck out, who do you think you are, you don’t know whose car this might be you’re blocking, what if I needed to get back to my kid, etc
I was like hey man, we’re family now, so I’m just gonna move the car and you go ahead and calm down. And then he goes NO, I’m sick of you people thinking it’s okay to do this.
At that point I go woah woah woah, listen buddy, I saw the lot was pretty full when we got here which is why I didn’t give YOU shit for parking here, but now I’m getting the feeling this has happened before, so wtf is your problem with blocking chargers. I gave you the benefit of the doubt but honestly I’m sure you could’ve parked somewhere else.
At this point car is unplugged and I’m getting in it, and he’s like yeah I’m not walking further so you can plug your toy in. At that point I told him if I see your car again anywhere I’m gonna block it just because, giving him a little grin before moving to the other side of the parking lot. He was yelling as I drove off still, and now I’m wondering if I’d be the asshole for telling them what happened with him
