So your dads also a crazy type.
I think a lot of people are and it’s scary,
The funny thing is the girl who stole the parking causally walked away like nothing happened leaving the guard and my old dad having a fight. The guard verbally threatened an 80 yr old with his hand on his holster. Not his finest hour.
If you are wondering what triggered his reaction the girl reversed some 10-15 mtrs really quick and stole the spot in a racecar manoeuvre. Parking etiquette says the person waiting first with their front toward the spot reserves the spot.
I think after the altercation my parents were shaken by the guard's aggression and they went home but I do agree it was not worth screaming blue murder at the girl (who could;not care less) and the guard thought he was helping a damsel in distress (although she was according to my mother smirking).
Etiquette isn’t law and most people don’t care about etiquette or morals.
When I drove people stole my spot all the time, and that doesn’t get into road rage I’ve seen. I try to avoid conflict and arguments can lead to deadly conflict with wrong person.
Someone who honks at me to to run over a guy in wheel chair in the cross walk would likely try to fight if I’d said or did anything in response.
