[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am truly baffled at the people that think it is fine to take a spot someone else dug out and view it as rude to put chairs to mark what you shoveled out. Using chairs to mark the spot you reclaimed from the snow seems common sense. [/quote]

I am truly baffled that you think spots can be reserved on a public street.[/quote]

This is a courtesy that greases the skids of community life in a cold climate. There is no snowy area on earth that doesn't have this general agreement about parking spots in the snow.

It's somewhat similar to picking a spot on the beach and laying out your towel and then heading to the water. Is it baffling to think you can reserve a spot on a public beach? You'd be annoyed and slightly incredulous if someone broke the social contact by moving your towel so they could have your spot. Now imagine how you'd feel if you'd had to work 2 hours to lay your towel in that spot. It would reveal an incredible sense of entitlement and lack of empathy towards others to move your towel in that circumstance.

And that's at the beach where you don't know anyone. But now you're in your neighborhood, looking at your neighbor's car in the spot you dug out and it's your neighbor basically saying, "screw you, I got mine."[/quote]
