citizens fighting for a parking space at 2:33. Boy - that reminded me of a time I was circling Tidyman’s parking lot for what seemed like hours. It was chocked full. And just as I rounded the corner at the front of the store (prime parking) I could see the taillights of a car getting ready to leave. Lots of cars going round and round with me, when I pulled my little Suzuki into the spot before the car coming towards me could get it. I got out and immediately I hear, “Jeanie! What a little brat you are. I’ve been waiting here for 10 minutes and now I have to park in the back and walk the entire way with my baby and her carrier!” My co-worker. I felt horrible and she wouldn’t let me trade places with her. Made things very tense.

Now I look to see if someone is waiting. I was just focused on the car leaving and didn’t see anything else.
