This is what some residents may call a first-world entitlement issue.

Social media is up in arms after video of a female motorist driving a non-electric car goes viral after she refuses to move her vehicle for a driver seeking legitimate electric vehicle parking at Sherway Mall.

Mall security officers had to be called to break up a fracas as the woman kept arguing and refused to move from the spot which was clearly marked for electric vehicles only.

The June 11 incident was captured on video and posted online where it has garnered hundreds of shares.

“She feels she is privileged to blatantly park there and defend her right to park there,” says Shelley Robinson. “The spots are designated for those with special need who need electric cars, or are handicapped or expectant mothers.”

Marjan Akhi says the spot is always taken for other cars that are non-electric and it is “’very disappointing.”

“They should get a ticket for that,” Akhi warns.

“This is very selfish behaviour all around,” writes Rita Dufresne.

“Unless it’s abuse or harm, a revenge or shaming video just drags you down to her level,” warns Atreyi Mukherji.

Paula Torres says humanity is going down the drain.

“This reminds me when stupid people park in spaces for disabled people because they think the regulations don’t apply to them,” she says.

James Porter says it is private property and if the woman does not like the parking she can shop elsewhere.
“All she cares about is herself,” says Cathy Nagy. “All she had to do was go drive around to find another spot.”

“The world is already going through so much and these ignorant people just have to make it worse for others,” says Michelle Verano Zorrilla.
