Another car appeared at the same time \u2014 a mom with an infant in a carrier \u2014 but I was there literally seconds earlier.Before I could even close my door, she marched up to me.\u201cSeriously? I was going to take that spot,\u201d she snapped. \u201cI have a baby.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I said calmly, \u201cWe pulled in at the same time. I was a little faster. That\u2019s how parking works.\u201dApparently, that was unacceptable.\u201cYou should\u2019ve let me have it. I\u2019m carrying an infant,\u201d she barked. \u201cYou\u2019re young and healthy \u2014 you can walk.\u201dThen she tried guilt-tripping me: \u201cI guess you don\u2019t care about mothers struggling.\u201dThat\u2019s when the switch flipped. She didn\u2019t want help \u2014 she wanted the universe to revolve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I pulled into the parking lot on a packed Monday afternoon and spotted a car backing out close to the entrance.
