No real worries about finding parking where at best is right in front of my house, and at worst is not in front of my house but I can see my car from my house. <br />I once had a neighbor who was about 105 years old who rang the doorbell at 9pm to tell me he parked in front of my house for me so no one else would. I told him that I was parked in my driveway and it's a legal spot for anyone to park in, and his reply was, "but I parked there so nobody else would."Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04339966081935992932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301407940699570948.post-38195231147090377332015-04-17T19:53:43.487-07:002015-04-17T19:53:43.487-07:00Never argue over parking.

Actually some would argue that you had a moral duty to return and key Villain's vehicle, so he learns this valuable lesson.Jef Poskanzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07718795986130845980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301407940699570948.post-38382370419408527822015-04-17T16:44:54.838-07:002015-04-17T16:44:54.838-07:00In re Sis' Lower Haight tale, I've been th...In re Sis' Lower Haight tale, I've been the Turner Around-er bitch, and I have been frustrated, but I did not blame the person who got the space.Stoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14998000645977104870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301407940699570948.post-49332048270673912772015-04-17T15:22:23.279-07:002015-04-17T15:22:23.279-07:00I think you are a much better person than I.

HOWEVER, Villain should accept the maxim, "hope for the best, expect the worst." He should not expect the rest of the world to either perceive or respect his desires and intent. If he can get it, great. If he can't, he needs to move along. Are you supposed to be looking in all directions at all distances, assessing the validity of your claim to a space? Fuck that.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04395319755814215066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301407940699570948.post-81736254930936532522015-04-17T12:22:07.413-07:002015-04-17T12:22:07.413-07:00I probably would have done the same, TK.

You made your point by saying "really?"<br /><br />I can sort of understand why the guy was waiting so far up. I had to go to the pet hospital on your thoroughfare yesterday morning, and pulling over to park was sort of fraught, thanks to an unbroken stream of bikes and cars.Stoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14998000645977104870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301407940699570948.post-77000108225034365542015-04-17T11:44:29.698-07:002015-04-17T11:44:29.698-07:00Villain was clearly in the wrong.

If you're waiting for a space, you wait directly BEHIND the space (so the person has room to exit the space), then pull directly IN FRONT OF the space and back in IMMEDIATELY. On the upside, you gave up the space even though you were entitled to keep it, so you have earned yourself some valuable parking karma from the universe, which will be redeemed when you need it most.
