If you're looking for places where the worst sides of people are bound to come to the surface, look no further than your closest parking lot, where impatience is almost always at an all-time high.

Recently, I found myself empathizing with the folks who lose their marbles in these stressful situations as I came to the realization that I had become one of them. We were trying to find a parking spot for my partner's parents, who were visiting for a long weekend. We reserved a space on an app and arrived at the parking lot only to discover that there was a glitch online, claiming that there was far more space in the lot than there was. This resulted in a difficult phone conversation with the customer service representative from the parking space app, who refused to give us a refund or help us transfer our booking to another nearby place. It got to a place where I found myself exhibiting the same frustration and anger as this Redditor did when an unnecessarily aggressive truck driver was giving him a hard time. 

Thankfully, the Redditor was in a position to make the truck driver's life even more difficult with the help of an older lady who was pulling into the Redditor's old parking space. Keep scrolling below for the full interaction and for the best reactions from folks in the comments section. For more, check out this post about a similarly entitled family at the movie theater.

    I walked out of my bank's building into a crammed parking lot that is always full. Getting a spot in it is just luck. As I opened the door to my car I saw a guy in a truck pull in the north entrance.

    I was parked just about mid-line between the north and south entrances. I had a few things to take care of before I intended to leave.

    After the third set of "honks" in under a minute I decided I was digging in. Just as I was about to get stubborn I see a little Toyota pull in the south entrance and turn down my lane. I immediately

    when possible when I arrive as it's easier. So, this day, I see a regular vehicle waiting for a spot. It's a white Bronco, not OJs, and the driver is always patient and doesn't do anything to warrant aggravation.

    He's on my left and on my right is an old busy body that I know from work and who is annoying from all get out. She had just barely got there when I got inside and I know Bronco been waiting

    for longer. So I started my truck and I pulled forward enough to block her so she couldn't get the spot. I then looked in my mirror to check and the guy had pulled in, he gave me a courtesy wave, I waved back and went on my way.

    and fast." Then he heard crunching sound. The old lady who had been carefully backing into the spot he took was backing into his car repeatedly. She smiled and waved and said to him, "This is what you can do when you are old and rich".

    A car pulled up with the intent to take my space. I waved him off so that he'd not waste time as I wasn't leaving. He ignored me and urged me to hurry up.

    I took my time rearranging the bags and closed the boot. Waved to him again, this time goodbye as headed back into the mall.

    I did hear a squeal as I walked away, which I'm guessing was his eagerly lifting the clutch to start searching for another space.
