Unless stated otherwise, parking lots are on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Now, stop standing in the parking spot that doesn't belong to you. It's over.

Scroll below to read about an entitled dude who chooses to put his life on the line (kind of) so he can reserve a parking spot at the mall. Spoiler alert: He's in the wrong, and the police agree.

  • Most of you are probably familiar with parking lots and garages, as well as parking spots along your neighborhood street. These parking spots are seldom reserved, unless you need specific physical accomadations.

    Folks will still try to reserve these spots, because whenever there are nice things in this world, someone has to come along and ruin them. It's the way humans work. Hopefully, you're not one of those people. If you are, this story might grind your gears…

  • "Guy tried to take my parking spot by standing in it then called the cops when I parked anyway"

    The audacity of some people is absolutely unreal.

  • Thinking about the logistics of physically reserving a spot in a parking lot seems hilarious. This guy decides to stand in a spot, putting himself at risk (because lunatics exist out there), having weird stand-offs with any drivers who intend to park there. Is there something special about this spot? Perhaps he's drilling for oil there soon and his wife is bringing the barrels to collect the liquid gold?

    Either way, it's entitled, annoying, and quite frankly, a cause for karma. That's exactly what this dude gets.

  • I rolled down my window and said that's not how parking spots work, I was here first waiting. He said

  • I looked around and saw his wife's car was like 6 rows away still looking. I said

  • I'm not waiting for your wife to drive across the lot when I'm literally here. He said "Hit me then! I'll sue!"

  • I slowly pulled in forcing him to move (I wasn't going to actually hit him obviously). He had

  • Then he called the COPS. Actual police. Told them I "assaulted him with my vehicle" and "threatened his life."

  • Now, we don't condone moving toward the guy. You never know how some people might react…

    However, the guy blows it out of proportion completely. Instead of admitting defeat, he calls the police. My favorite genre of literature is arrogant people thinking the authorities will side with them, only to be let down exponentially by their lack of foresight. Life is good, and karma finds us all.

  • The entitlement to think you can reserve a parking spot with your body is wild.
