I got to the garage 10 minutes early this morning and cone Lady was a whopping 20 minutes ahead of schedule (84 was easy this morning).
There were two good spaces up for grabs this morning. I got one, and cone Lady had the other reserved. After parking, I casually walked over to the cone and moved it out of the way.
As I'm leaving the garage (about 15 seconds after I moved the cone), a Jeep Wrangler pulls in with cone Lady right behind. At first, the Jeep pulled passed the spot I freed. Then boom, reverse lights. Cone Lady had a front row seat to her space being taken while her cone sat off to the side powerless to stop it.
She went around the Jeep and parked elsewhere. Odds are, like in previous instances, she'll leave the cone there all day and claim a new spot on her way out.
