Not everyone is skilled at parallel parking.

This man explains how he found a tight parallel parking spot near a parade, so he positioned his vehicle and was ready to back into the spot.

But, a group of high school boys nosed into the spot.

Read the full story below to see how this actually worked in his favor.

Parallel parking, the right way

A decade ago, I was a new young parent.

I was going to meet my family at a parade.

There was a parking spot open only half a block away, but this was a very tight spot, so most were probably scared off.

This man was good at parallel parking and decided to take the spot.

This spot was tight, and I enjoyed being good at parallel parking.

I pulled up next to the car in front of the spot and put it in reverse.

A group of (I assume) highschool-aged boys pulled nose into the spot.

Saw them in my rear view mirror, laughing, and high-fiving their unjust plunder.

He realized that there is no other way to get into that space.

Feeling defeated, I put my car in drive.

But I realized, before moving, you could only park in that spot if you were in the exact place I was.

You couldn’t cheat and nose in and back and forth it.

So, I put my car in park and watched the rear view mirror.

The other car went away, and he got the spot.

After a few moments, the realization dawned on them.

They were at a 45° angle and they couldn’t steal that spot.

Watching the smiles fade from their faces as they backed out and left was magical.

We exchanged hand gestures, and I got my spot.

He didn’t like the boys’ entitlement.

And just to clarify, I don’t mind walking.

I love an excuse to walk.

But the entitlement and rudeness they showed was too much.

I love that he waited and eventually got the spot!

Let’s check out the comments of other people on Reddit.

This user shares their personal thoughts.

Here’s another valid point.

This person has had the same experience in the past.

Finally, this person says they’d rather walk than parallel park.

It’s always satisfying to see entitled kids get humiliated.
