Be Nice New York

I was parking on a Manhattan street, shocked to park almost directly in front of the building I was visiting. I attempted to leave enough space behind me for another car— the doorman came out of a nearby building, and advised me to take up the whole space, that someone would only block me in — that it had happened to him yesterday. (There was only room for another small car, and hardly room for that). He not only saved me getting blocked in (it was inevitable) but he made me feel guilt-free about taking up extra space. He didn’t have to come out and assist me, he could have stayed in where it was warm. Awesome help from a complete stranger.
