parking etiquette

Space-claiming social rules

Parking etiquette is the unwritten code of considerate behavior in parking lots and on streets.

It includes not taking up multiple spaces, not stealing a spot someone is clearly waiting for, returning shopping carts, and avoiding door dings.

Violations provoke disproportionate rage: Someone left a note on my windshield about my parking etiquette.
