Would you wave the other car in or take the spot?
You and another driver arrive at the last parking spot at exactly the same moment. Someone has to go around the block. You can wave them in, a small kindness, or take the spot because you were there first. It is only a parking space, which is why what you do says so much about what you think is fair and what is polite.
You and another car reach the parking spot at the same time.
Why people pick each side
Wave them in
Waving them in leans Harmony: you pick a smooth moment over being right, and a small gesture feels like a good trade for a calmer day.
Take it, you were there first
Taking the spot leans Fairness: you were there first, and you think rules about who goes first should hold even in small things.
