Recently there was an incident that involved a man that found what he thought was an empty parking space only to find as he started to pull into it a woman standing in the parking spot. He opened his window to inquire why she was there. She told him that she was standing there in order to save the space for someone. This resulted in a heated exchange that got very nasty. Do you think it is alright for someone to stand in a parking spot in order to save it? Yes
