Bob Sutton, author of "The No Asshole Rule" writes:
"One of the examples of rude behavior that comes up in The Civility Solution is people who park in obviously selfish ways. I was talking to a friend of mine the other day and she complained about someone we know who prides himself in taking two spaces (just like the above picture) to protect his car from door dings. I think that is a nearly perfect example of someone who is so self-absorbed that they don't even consider the negative effects of their behavior on others. It is also pretty similar to how CEO Paul Purcell defines an asshole at Baird -- someone who consistently puts his or her self-interest ahead of others. I would love to see the correlation between parking behavior and scores on the ARSE (the asshole rating self-exam)."
What I experienced today at Lahore University of Management Science's parking beats any ARSE score, if there exists a direct correlation. Due to construction in University, the parking is limited and sometimes it takes up to 10 minutes to roam around the campus and find a good parking space. I spotted an apparent space in a corner but when I got there I found this:
I don't know about Bob Sutton's correlation but surely there should be a relation between being educated and being civilized.
