The act would have gone unnoticed if any random person did it on the blue bird app, but since it came from an official government account, it makes things tremendously unprofessional. However, the City did state that it was just trying to make a joke about the loss.

Video of jealous girlfriend calling out woman for parking next to her man has one man tripping, internet lol

In another story, Briefly News previously reported that some women can get a little over-the-top possessive regarding their men. One lady was touched when a woman parked next to her man, so she gave her a piece of her mind. Wild!

With cheating being something that no longer comes as a shock, emotions run really high when people believe they are in love. Just like this woman, some will do crazy things to protect what is theirs.
