Exhibit A:

A 22-year-old Scandia woman and her friend were hunting for a spot in the lot near Midway Parkway and Kaufman Drive when the woman spied a vehicle leaving a space.

The problem: The car she was in wasn't the next in line.

The solution: Jump out and "reserve" the spot by standing in it until her friend could get there.

Exhibit B:

But the driver of a white minivan approached the spot first and wasn't willing to give up that easily, St. Paul police spokesman Tom Walsh said. The driver inched toward the woman and told her to get out of the way or he would move her.

The woman refused.

A female passenger got out of the minivan and shoved, punched, scratched and ripped the shirt of the woman who had tried to save the spot. The minivan's driver pulled the women apart, and he and his friend drove away.
