If you’re gonna park like a total jerk, you gotta expect some blowback from time to time.

So I guess you could say that this person had it coming!

But we want you to decide for yourself.

Check out what happened in this story from Reddit!

AITA? I refused to move my compact car that fit between the two overparked SUVs.

“Parking at the store, the parking lot is overloaded, and people are parking on the street (atypical).

I drive a compact car. (USA — pertinent to mention the driver’s side is the left.)

I drive through the lot and see #3 spot against the store’s back entrance is open.

It’s obviously open because one SUV is on the line in #2 spot, and the spot #4 SUV is several inches over the line.

Nice and snug!

I pull into #3 slot making sure I have enough space to exit my vehicle. This happens to leave SUV in spot #4 very little room to open their driver side door.

I think it’s key to point out that I knew SUV spot #4 wouldn’t be able to open their driver’s side door.

As I exit my vehicle, a woman (#4 spot SUV) is exiting the store and says, “Can you move so I can get in?”

Nope, sorry!

I replied, “No, park better next time.” as I continued my course to the store.

She replies,”You’re an *******

I parked there because I needed a parking spot. That being said, I was aware that parking there would prevent spot #4 SUV from entering their vehicle.

Was I an *******?”
