    I don’t personally have an opinion on this but some Chicagoans have very strong opinions one way or the other:

    “Dibs” refers to the practice of holding a shoveled-out parking space after a heavy snowfall by putting chairs, laundry baskets, or other items in the street to mark the claimed space.

      They were doing this in South Boston as least as recently as 10 years ago, probably still are. As someone who wasn’t parking, it was hilarious to see.
