"I thought she would see what she did and correct it, back up a little," the resident told Veฤernji List. "But no, she nonchalantly left her vehicle and headed to the store as if nothing strange had happened and it was normal. Unbelievable rudeness."

The resident noted that improper parking is a common issue in the area, particularly in spaces designated for people with disabilities and families with children. "People park in spots for people with disabilities without a second thought. I can't count how many times I've seen people park in spots reserved for families with children, and they are alone in the car. And all this without a shred of conscience. If wardens operated here, they would be overwhelmed," the reader commented.
