Digging your car out of snow is no joke in a big city, and a Chicago man’s unusual way of calling “dibs” on his parking spot has gone viral!
Adam Selzer of West Ridge, Illinois, posted photos to Twitter of him reserving a shoveled-out space using pairs of frozen pants that he shaped to stand up on their own. This is a common practice in Chicago, with residents often using lawn chairs or traffic cones to mark off the spots they shoveled.
Because you demanded it: dibs! (In a no parking zone, no less) pic.twitter.com/s7zAyBrg48

Seltzer wrote on Twitter, “Polar vortex fun: pants with nobody inside them! Soak a pair, put outside, in about 20 minutes you can form them into a shape, and in another 20 they’re solid.” He said he’s not working out how to add a frozen shirt to his ensemble.
