Spit on my neighbors car, turns out it wasn't their car
So here's some back story: My wife and I have lived at this apartment complex for about 10 years. About a year ago we had new neighbors move in across the hall from us. Turns out it's an entire hive of tweakers. Husband, wife, 2 kids(every other week), grandma, 2 adult friends, 3 chihuahuas. One bedroom apartments btw. We've never had such problematic neighbors the entire time we've lived there. Our complex has assigned parking and clearly labeled visitor spots. We have one car for our one spot and the tweakers have 4 or more cars at any given time. The tweaker husband is a mechanic and constantly brings home new shitboxes to fill up all the visitor spots. We have a chain of emails with our apartment management going back to the first month they moved in with probably over +20 pictures of their cars parked in our spot. They refuse to tow anyone unless the car is there for OVER 24 hours, at which point they'll move last second. We've had candy, garbage, dirt, and more thrown on our car many many times since they've moved in, but no proof of who's doing it so I can't do anything. The few times I've knocked on their door and asked them to move, I get screamed and cussed out by them and their 3 demon dogs. I've never retaliated in any way whatsoever. I've only taken pictures as proof to email apartment management in hoping they won't renew their lease when the time comes.
Today that finally changed and now it's my turn to feel like the piece of shit I am for sinking down to their level. So wife and I come home from work the other day to see yet another car parked in our spot. We parked in a visitor spot(like 3 or 4 open ones to choose from) and I knocked on the tweakers door, asking if this car in our spot was theirs. They screamed at me that it wasnt their car and to shut the fuck up and leave them alone so I just walked away. After almost a solid year of this crap, of course I didn't believe a single word they said. I was SEETHING with anger at how anyone could just not give a shit about basic human decency. So like the hypocrite I am, I went back over to the car in our space and spit the biggest nastiest glob of snot and spit all over the diver side window. The second I sat down inside my apartment and started to calm down I realized how absolutely fucking dumb and immature and GROSS it was. Not only that, but in my head I'm thinking well shit, I've never retaliated against them after ALL this time but now I've opened the door for them to fuck with MY car or something. (Assuming they're not already the ones messing with it every couple weeks)
Several hours later, wife goes back out to our car to grab some paperwork and sees a guy taking pictures of the car I spit on in our spot. He's on speaker phone yelling to someone about how he doesn't even live here so why would someone do that to his car, that he's gonna report everything, find out who did it, and get them evicted. So yeah turns out he's completely unrelated to the tweakers that have been fucking with us for months. Just a random guy who didn't bother to check what parking spaces were labeled.
I don't know if he has any proof it was me, but whatever consequences might descend upon me I will embrace with open arms. If you've read this far, please take this as a lesson to not act out of anger for something so fucking dumb like I did. Nobody was in danger and nobody cost me money or time except the extra minute to park in a visitor spot. That guy did NOT deserve to have to clean my spit off his window and I'm a gross asshole.
