We’ve all been in the situation: making up your own parking spot in the grocery store lot, pretending that since you don’t understand what “No Standing” means that no one else will either. And we all tell ourselves that, in the five minutes it will take you to run in and grab your food, there’s not a chance that a tow truck will roll up and ruin your day.
Of course, more often than probability would sensibly allow, that truck arrives.
