Jedigoat 269 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Standing in a parking space to hold the spot for the car that isn't there yet. Meanwhile, there's an actual car wanting to park there but the guy standing in the spot says it's saved. Fucked up or nah, he's good? Link to post Share on other sites
Ms. Spam 1,788 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Depends on if you're evil chaotic or lawful good. Me I'd be like I'm running over you if you don't move out my parking space but honestly as I lock up and walk away I'd be worried my car would be keyed. Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen this a few times and it's insane to me. If your car gets there before another car, it's yours. Period. Link to post Share on other sites
captainbleh 141 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Fucked up might be a bit harsh, but that's not on for me I my car gets there first, the space is mine But thankfully I live somewhere where distances to shops are small and I've got the option of not driving for some trips, especially during Xmas crazy (I prefer to reverse in to parking spaces too, and sometimes I've lost a space to people quickly driving in to it when I've indicated that I'm going to reverse in to it) Link to post Share on other sites
Zathras 368 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I usually don't park close, so human traffic cones don't affect me one way or another. I intentionally park further out, where there are less vehicles because I don't want door dings. That said, it depends on the person who is standing there. If they look old, or not in that great a health, I am cool with it. If it is some able-bodied douche holding the spot for another able-bodied douche in a BMW, then I see them as generally horrible people. Link to post Share on other sites

Jedigoat 269 Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 If a wheelchair is parked there, cool. But holding a parking space by just standing there is, indeed, fucking crazy. Link to post Share on other sites

Ms. Spam 1,788 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 It's a big thing to leave furniture and what not in a parking space to save it in some big cities but I chose to live in the south where two inches of snow closes the whole city down for the day.

Ms. Spam 1,788 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I think there's some kind of unwritten rule that if it is reserved by your furniture, trashcan, strange item, that spots yours! Link to post Share on other sites
Destiny Skywalker 1,836 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I thought that was more of a thing in city neighborhoods because you went through all the effort to clear your space of snow, so no other asshole better steal your spot now that it's cleared. Link to post Share on other sites

They do this in Pittsburgh when it snows. They put their dining room chairs in street spaces after they shovel out their own parking spots. People learn; respect the chair https://www.google.com/search?q=pittsburgh+respect+the+chair&sxsrf=ALeKk01ielGLCpO_2T-m3SBqBewuMkcz0g:1610129972765&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiRg8bI-YzuAhWkCjQIHZGNDggQ_AUoAXoECA8QAw&biw=1280&bih=607#imgrc=LNN2mBDJxoKNAM Link to post Share on other sites
