Picture this: you’re living with friends, and you’re the only one who drives, so you pay extra for the parking space that comes with the house. One friend moves out, and a new housemate moves in, who happens to be in a wheelchair and drives an assisted car. The parking space is right outside the house, so it’s only fair that the new housemate gets it. But should they pay extra for it, or should you just give it up and pay for parking elsewhere? This is the dilemma our protagonist, Mr. Parking Problem, faces. Let’s dive into this story and see how it unfolds!

The Great Parking Space Debate
Mr. Parking Problem is in a pickle. He’s been paying extra for a parking space at his shared house, but now a new housemate in a wheelchair needs it. The new housemate refuses to pay extra for the space, even though Mr. Parking Problem will have to pay for parking elsewhere. He offers to split the difference with everyone, but no one’s biting. The landlord won’t get involved, and everyone’s calling Mr. Parking Problem inconsiderate for not just giving up the space. He’s even withholding his former friend’s deposit until the situation is resolved. Is he being petty, or is he standing up for what’s fair? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
