This reminds me of something my father oft repeated: Dogs lick their balls because they can.

Assertive people save parking spots. Passive people complain about it on Reddit.

When that person gets home, s/he will park in the spot they wanted and not care one second about legality, societal ethos or Reddit downvotes.

Yeah but I’m willing to bet that a lot of us passive Reddit folks who are complaining about this are more satisfied and well-adjusted than this spot saver, even as we still drive around looking for parking. Not giving a f*ck might make it easy in the short term but it never gets you far.

I'm in agreement that this old Philly tradition is a 10 out of 10 on the DICK! Scale.

But thinking the space-saver will be punished by their inner Kantian a priori reasoning---or out of fear of rejection from St. Peter at the Gate---is just not real.

They will only react to fear of force. And then you're committing violence over 6 feet of space. You've become the monster.

Selfish people save parking spots. Equitable people complain about it on Reddit.
