Parking Space Camping

Defiant woman refuses to move from parking space — despite not having a car

This dashcam footage captured a furious row erupted in a car park - and one of the participants wasn’t even driving a vehicle.

 

 

Dashcam footage captures the moment a furious row erupted in a car park when a woman ran to save a space for her family as a couple tried to park in the same spot.

In the clip the woman is seen standing defiantly in the space and waving her arms, mouthing: “I was here first” as the female passenger in the car screams: “Are you serious? You’re not even in a car.”

When the woman still refuses to move, the irate male driver sounds his horn, shouting: “You f***ing serious right now, woman? Get out of here.”

To which the woman continues to protest: “I was here first,” accompanied by more pointing and arm waving.

The man is then heard yelling: “I’m gonna stand here, I got time.”

A few seconds later another, older woman walks into the dash cam frame and starts shooing the car away, gesturing for it to move back, as the driver again toots his horn and shouts: “You think you can just walk into a space? Get out of here.”

The standoff finally only comes to an end when another driver offers the couple a different space.

Since the footage — filmed in a carpark in Flushing, Michigan — was posted on YouTube on Saturday it has been viewed more than 50,000 times, sparking outrage and fierce debate.

When it was posted to Reddit on Monday, one reader wrote: “ Is it ever OK to ‘camp out’ in a parking space?

“Don’t watch the end of this video, your anger levels will increase dramatically.”

Another posted: “I would have outwaited those women until one of us dies of starvation.”

 

Fuzz: I've seen this occur several times, and mostly by my Asian brethren. Last time it happened to me, I left after a few minutes to find another space.... then went back to let all four of their tyres down. :lol:

very disappointed that he moved at the end. i would have made those idiots use it but i would never have moved (it is said that there is a stubborn streak which ran through some members of our family - fortunately it missed me.

they would have had to pry my skeleton from the wheel. 

people like that deserve stringing up.

not quite the same, many years ago i got parked in by a complete tosser. when he came back, a couple of hours later, could not have cared less. no doubt he also didn't care when he got home and found his car had (not) been keyed.

I would get quite irate. 

 

......Di would get 15-20 years. :lookaround:

The only time I got irate was when I was in KL. The woman threatened to hit my rental if I did not go find another space. Suffice it to say, words were spoken and she eventually moved on. Dumbest thing was, she was actually sitting in the spot. I only saw her just as I was about to flatten her.

Were you sitting on your safety pillow? ;)

Unfortunately that is a somewhat common occurrence here around the holidays. One of many reasons I avoid the malls between thanksgiving and New Years.

About a month ago I was at the mall with a friend and she saw a car pulling out of a space so she stopped and put her blinker on. Just as the car was pulling out some teenage kid came down the aisle and pulled right in. My friend got out of the car and went ape shit on the kid. He relented and pulled out of the spot. The balls on some people.
