Neighbor won't move his car for a festival, so we get a new law made to take his parking space.

Here's what happened. Subscribe to Am I the Jerk on YouTube and hit the bell for notifications.

This happened on January 26th of last year, and only today was the come-up and stun.

Not by me, but by the committee of the society

where I live. This drama conveniently happened in front of my window. In my city, the residential

complexes are managed by housing societies, much like the HOA system in the USA. Just not as horrible.

Each society has their own committee to manage day-to-day affairs.

Also, as My Society has much more parking spaces than it has cars, it has no designated

parking spots allotted to the residents.

Anyone can park their vehicle wherever they want, but it must be a marked parking spot.

People mostly park their cars in the same

parking spot just because of convenience and habit. Everyone mostly respects each other's spot,

and I've never seen any confrontations happening because of the parking. So, for those of you who

don't know, the 26th of January is the Republic Day of India, and all over the country the day is celebrated by

flag hoisting ceremonies in the morning. The flagpole of our society where the flag hoisting

ceremony will be held is just in front of the main gate of the society. There are two parking spaces

just under the flagpole. All other parkings are further away from the main gate, and you have to walk some distance

to reach there from the main gate. The thing to note is that these two parking spots are very,

very convenient for all the flats, which are facing this flagpole. However, out of respect,

people have left one of these spots open for an elderly person whose flat faces the flagpole.

And the other spot is taken up by an annoying kind of person who never moves his car from

this space, else someone will steal his spot.
