[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is horribly rude to take someone's hard-earned/shoveled parking spot in a storm such as the one we have had. It is more than rude and rings of the person's sense of entitlement. 
However, it is not illegal to steal that spot so there is that. But, yes, in the world of "snow etiquette" a person should not take another's spot ever.[/quote]

Question. I worked overnight in the hospital through the weekend storm. Parked in hospital garage. Drove home (very carefully) on Monday. All spots within about a mile radius of my home are blocked off with chairs. What do I do here?  Other than just go back and park at the hospital garage and commit to living on my work unit for the next 3 weeks until the snow melts, because I am not allowed to park on my street due to the fact that it snowed a few days ago and there are chairs and cones blocking all the spots (since everyone is back to work etc and driving around normally)[/quote]

Park in one you can see while you shovel yours out.

We have a driveway but I know my neighbors and their schedules fairly well, and I moved a chair so I could free my driveway space for my house cleaner. But I kept an eye on it (working from home) and the neighbor could have texted me if they came home early for some reason. But they didn't, and I just put the chair back when I was done.[/quote]

Every single spot on my block and the next block up is shoveled out and blocked with chairs. Not joking. There is no spot for me to dig out. They are all dug out! And marked with cones! I’ve been parking in spots 6-7 blocks away (I’ve dug out a few in the last week since I’m able bodied) but it’s ridiculous for people to decide I’ll never park on my block again because I was working in the ER during the storm and wasn’t here for the digging on Monday morning. Like, when can I park on my block again? March? People are ridiculous. Monday morning when they all drive into work yet again and block their spots yet again, I’m throwing all the chairs in the trash. [/quote]
So you live in a spot where you routinely can’t park on your street. What is your problem then? Park on other streets like normal.[/quote]
