My friend has an opposite problem (not her but somebody else she knows).
Her boss pays for the parking spot for one of her coworkers so she doesn't have to fight Boston parking (MA drivers suck). But, the nutjob doesn't want to have to walk the whole 5 minutes from the parking lot to the office, so instead she parks in front of the building (she gets there early). So this paid for parking spot sits empty, while the other people in the office that don't start work as early have to fight to find anyplace to park.
