  "account": "A woman experienced frustration after a man allegedly double parked his vehicle near hers on a small road close to East Coast Road, hindering her drive out for approximately 50 minutes. She recounted the incident to Mothership, describing the man's actions as \"very ignorant\" and \"selfish.\" The event took place on September 5th, following the woman's parking of her white car on the road at 8:30 am to attend a gym session. Upon her return at 9:30 am, a black car was parked adjacent to her white car, obstructing her exit. The road upon which she had parked did not have any yellow lines, and the area in front of her car was the only one with double yellow lines, leading the man to double park there. The man did not leave an apology but instead left behind a business card that belonged to a project director at a construction company. The woman attempted to contact him multiple times without success, with the individual finally picking up the call at around 10:15 am and hanging up without uttering a word. After about five minutes, a colleague of the car owner arrived on the scene to assist in moving the vehicle. The woman expressed disappointment in the lack of remorse from the car owner and suggested that he should have cleaned up after himself and apologized for his actions. She advised the colleague to educate the car owner on proper driving etiquette and to extend an apology. The woman emphasized that whether the woman had an emergency or an important appointment that morning was irrelevant; such behavior could lead to serious consequences if left unchecked.",
  "summary": "She called the number on the business card he had left on her car, but allegedly got no answer about 20 times.",
