Next to public spats between married people, Recharger loves public spats over parking. This one happened on Third Avenue between 21st and 22nd Streets. Fat guy stood in space, reserving it for a friend. Fat lady with SUV took exception.
Not surprisingly, the city’s Traffic Rules, Section 4-08, says the guy was wrong. “Unofficial reserving of parking space. It shall be unlawful for any person to reserve or attempt to reserve a parking space, or prevent any vehicle from parking on a public street through his/her presence in the roadway, the use of hand-signals, or by placing any box, can, crate, hand-cart, dolly or any other device, including unauthorized pavement, curb or streroadway.”
The guy won.
