My parking spot

targum

A neighbour, a parking space, and a rule nobody wrote down. Idiom, irony, and an argument nobody wins.

The opening

סְלִיחָה, אַתָּה חוֹנָה בַּמָּקוֹם שֶׁלִּי.

Excuse me, you're parked in my spot.

הַמָּקוֹם שֶׁלָּךָ? כָּתוּב פֹּה מַשֶּׁהוּ?

Your spot? Is something written here?

לֹא כָּתוּב, אֲבָל אֲנִי חוֹנָה שָׁם שֶׁבַע שָׁנִים.

It isn't written, but I've parked there for seven years.
