Airbnb host scams traveler by making him pay $10 for parking fee on a public street, when he confronts him, homeowner says he "should've done more research", so traveler reports him to Airbnb: 'He said I ruined his only source of income'

Ahhhh, there's nothing like a little scam to wake up to in the morning. Whether it be $10 or $1000, being unfairly taken for a dime hits the ego like nothing else. When you know someone is so obviously taking advantage of your kindness, simply to make an extra buck or two! This traveler was ready for vacation and extremely excited about his accommodation…he wasn't going to settle on anything this trip, and even paid the $10 for his accommodations parking spot…It's the small things!

However, after arriving at the Airbnb, he quickly learned that his luxurious parking was actually just a spot on a public street near the house. Key word: public, Key message: free! He was annoyed by the homeowner's entitlement and confronted him for charging a parking fee on a free, public road. His response? 'Well, you should have done more research on the area before agreeing…' He was now fuming, and it wasn't about the money. It was about this homeowner's sly attitude…so he reported him to Airbnb, potentially ruining his "only form of income" over a $10 scam…

Is jeopardizing someone's sole income a fair reaction to losing out on an Alexander Hamilton? ($10) We're not quite sure. However, he needs to be taught a lesson about stealing from innocent people. As it's not about the amount, but about the moral of scamming someone who is giving you business. If they'd prefer, upping the price of their rental would be more strategic than giving themself a bad reputation for basically nothing.
