A MAN was left fuming when a woman with a pram blocked a parking space – despite the fact her car was nowhere to be seen.
He took to TikTok to share a video of the conversation he’d had with the mum, who insisted she was saving the space for her husband.

“Karen uses her child to block me from parking,” he wrote over the top of the video.
“I’ve waited 5 minutes before recording.”
“Please move, I need to park here, please?” he began, as the woman continued talking on her mobile phone.
“You’re gonna hit my child?” she said.
“No, I wanna park. You’re holding the parking spot,” he replied.
“Sir, my husband dropped us off – he’s looping around and then he’s going to park here,” she then said.
“I understand, but I’m going to park here in the meantime, there’s no-one here,” he responded.
The woman then failed to answer, to which he continued: “Can you please move? I’m on the clock.
“My rates are $60 an hour just so you know – you’re holding me.”
Eventually, after snapping a picture of his car, the woman walked off with her pram, telling the man: “It’s all yours. No problem.
“Got your plate number.”
“Thank you, I appreciate that,” he replied, before pulling into the space before anyone else could nab it.
“Katen from montclair new jersey steps on spot with child to block me from parking,” he captioned the video.
People were quick to weigh in on the situation, with the majority insisting the woman was in the wrong.
“It’s not considered your spot if you can’t pull into it right away,” one wrote.
“If you have to drive around and then come back…it’s an opportunity for anyone.”
“Unless she put money in the meter it’s not her spot, it’s actually illegal to block a metered spot so she is definitely in the wrong here,” another said.
“I’m confused as to why she took a picture of your plates lol she’s in the wrong,” a third agreed.
“No matter how many times we have done it. It’s not right.”
