some things are just so much a part of culture here, sometimes it is better to just leave it alone. i do not own a car, but i lifve in an apartment building with numbered parking spots. some guy , who does not even live in the building, just decided that he will park in my spot, because he never sees a car there.
under normal circumstances, a person would approach the one to whom the spot is assigned, and ask him if he would mind if he used the spot. here...not so much. why bother even saying anything. my mother always said that if you have to explain something to someone, they don?t get it, anyway. no sense in starting a fight with a fool.
