I always get good parking spaces. If I'm a passenger in your car, you will likewise get good parking, no matter what it's like for you normally. I have more than once driven up to some place and someone pulls out of the space I want. I do try not to take it for granted, and try always to say out loud, "Thank you parking Gods".
