Woman Saves Prime Black Friday Parking Space By Sitting In It

Last week one woman took staking out an early Black Friday claim even further by sitting down in a prime parking space right at the front sidewalk.

Apparently, she had gotten out of her car to look for a space on foot while her partner drove around looking for another one.

“”She said, ‘I drove three hours and I’m not leaving,’” she reportedly said.

Other cars attempted to park in the space but she refused to move until a mall security guard told her to get going.

This is a rather silly length to go to save a spot. You could get hit. Not to mention, why not just stand up with your arms crossed so cars can see you. With some of those SUVs a person squatting on the ground might as well be a pebble.

But be honest, have you ever fantasized about saving a parking space with your body?

    Well Ben – Yes I can see a good reason to do this. It takes giving up some personal info on me, I’d rather not say, but here it goes. You see, I’m disabled and these days you can’t get anyone to help you and not everyone has a handicapped sticker and on heavy shopping days, the handicapped spots may all be taken, so I always try and get close enough to the front door that MAYBE, just maybe I can talk someone into helping me get the item into my car. YOU will rarely find a retailer to help you these days, especially WALMART.
    I quit going to them because of this. Off topic, but they moved all their pet products to the back of the store, Combine that with customer no – service? I switched to Winn Dixie; I pay 11 cents more per bag but get GREAT customer service and care with my packages.. worth a few more pennies or even dollars.
