I may be totally irrational about this. But that is because where I live there's no off street parking. There's 2 restaurants at the end of the road, a shop, and a garage so it generally takes a LONG time to find somewhere to park.
I knew this when I moved in. I have lived there for 4 years and although its a bit aggravating at times, I can live with it.
However.... Last night I turned into my street and saw a parking space right outside my house
This is very rare. It's like a tiny little miracle.
There was a person standing in the space. So I rolled down my window and very politely asked them to move so I could park.
She said "no I am saving the space for my husband"
So I asked her where her husband was and she said that was 5 minutes away but he asked to find a space because she was meeting him for dinner and the table was booked for 7pm.
Really???? 5 minutes away? And you are standing in a space, stopping people from parking?
WIBU to say, actually I don't care. I live on the street. Your DH is 5 minutes away and you cannot "hold a parking space?
Because that's what I did. And she refused to move. Then her DH came along and I explained to him why his wife was screaming at me and he said "don't worry we will find another space"
Do people actually think its ok to do this?
Am I missing something, is it ok to stand in a parking space for 10 minutes??
