So I am leaving my friends apartment tonight and find a boot on my truck. Apparently I am not permitted to park in the common lot, but must park in the visitors lot instead. This is plainly explained to me on a sign in the visitors lot, which is farther into the complex than where I parked. So I call the poor idiot to get the boot off, and after taking my card and running it he proceeds to take the boot off. At this point I call my credit card company, and while standing there smiling at him, have a stop payment put on the charge. After that he got down-right unfriendly, and I shared a few choice words with him and the complex manager before leaving.

So, am I a prick, or am I justified in believing that visiting a friend shouldn't be a cause for profit ($100 gets your car free)? Please note that this apartment complex is in the middle of nowhere, so people aren't just parking there out of convenience in order to go elsewhere.
