The perfect parking spot can be the difference between a beautiful day when everything is going your way and one filled with unspeakable anxiety, turmoil, and inner rot. Think I'm exaggerating? Think again. An episode of Seinfeld famously hinges around the fight for the perfect parking spot outside Jerry's apartment. An all-out battle ensues, and the authorities are called in to settle the debate on who is the spot's rightful owner. There are actually multiple Seinfeld storylines that revolve around parking. Such is the importance of parking in today's society.
So when someone messes with your spot, it's personal. Your spot is an extension of you, and any affront to it is an affront to your personhood. Reddit user Dronectus recently shared a story of some such slight, and the gentle but firm routes he took to deliver justice to the parking offender.
