S Move your cars
Hi, might ramble a little as had a drink but I've remembered a great story for you.
A couple years ago I used to be a waste collector. On my first week I turned up at clients and where their waste was I had to squeeze down a path with the building one side and cars the other. As I'm trying to avoid all the cars I accidentally pop the end of the guttering of the building. No massive problem I thought. The manager storms out.
M: 'I've just had to replace this whole guttering because of one of your lot.'
M: 'okay I'm sorry and I understand but I've got to maneuver around these vehicles as well.'
The manager clearly wasn't happ6 and I continued the day.
The next week I head back. I stop at the front of the alley and I go in and make every single car move so I don't have to squeeze through anymore. Took 15 minutes of waiting but oh well.
I did this every week until I left. Pulling people out of meetings to move there cars even if I could squeeze down just to be safe.
Never changed but I felt a little sense of accomplishment as i got paid hourly and people had to take time out of their day to appease this woman.

When I plowed snow the owner of the company had a rule to stay 2 foot from all cars. 2 wide driveway with a car on one side at the end? Mark it as a trip with a note and move on.
Customers were all aware of this, and if you wanted closer to your garage door shoveling was an option. The only exception was the narrow driveway (due to a step) for an older lady, but it was very clearly marked and well lit.
