Part I - The Question At the end of a long day of shopping, Katelyn and Lisa were walking out to Lisa's car, ready to go home. Putting their shopping bags in the trunk, Lisa slipped into the driver's seat while Katelyn took her position as passenger. Lisa put the key in the ignition and absently said to Katelyn, "Looks like someone's waiting for our spot." Lisa started the car. The vehicle waiting for their spot honked. "That drives me nuts," Lisa said in response to the horn. "I'm going, I'm going. Be patient," she muttered under her breath to the driver of the other car. Although she had been about to put the car in reverse and pull out of the spot, she dug into her purse for her lipstick. "Lisa, that other car is waiting. Why aren't you leaving?" asked Katelyn. "I will," said Lisa. "I can't put lipstick on while I'm driving. Besides, it's my spot and I can stay in it as long as I want." "Now you're being rude," Katelyn scolded her friend. "I always try to leave as quickly as I can when another car is waiting." "You do not," Lisa responded. "I've ridden with you and you make the other person wait." Lisa pulled out of the parking spot as Katelyn shot back: "Do not." "Do too," Lisa continued the argument. "Everyone takes longer to leave a parking spot when someone's waiting. It's an instinctual thing we're defending our territory." Katelyn responded with a snort. "Instinct? I don't think so. People are nicer than that. Except for a few rude people like you," she said teasingly, "most of us leave faster when someone's waiting." "As a psych major it seems like that's something you could study," Lisa responded. "Maybe I'll make that my next project for my research methods class," Katelyn replied. "I'll let you know what I find out."
