An erasable pen, like they use in the scrap trade, with 'THANKS FOR PARKING LIKE A BELL END' written backwards on the screen of that scooter would pos do the trick.

Searched the other 3 floors above at both ends before finding somewhere that doesnt block someone else in... Or using some of the open air parking in the local area. I'd never park anywhere that causes someone else to be blocked in regardless.... even if someone then took the spot I declined. Thats not me saying that to make a point, I've been driving for just under 8 years and have never once parked in an inconsiderate place

Work is about 5/6 minutes away and they probably wouldn't come and help

Scooters are easily liftable... 2 of my mates carried my old scooter up a flight of stairs and left me with the task of getting it back down.

Besides that, my girlfriend's brother parks his scooter in the way of mine all the time, you can lift and move the front, then the back... keep edging it over til its out of the way. If it happens again with the same bikes then block them in.
