I have never seen this episode, but I remember someone talking about it about 2004, so its at least that old. All I know is that it has a plot or subplot where a character gets a really good parking space, then refuses to move his or her car for days even when it becomes inconvenient because they know theyll never get such a good spot ever again.

Its definitely not the episode where George fights the guy about the parking spot, unless the person completely misremembered it.

I am already betting hard on the latter.

Was it the episode when they went to the mall and couldn't find their parking spot and then Jerry gets arrested for public urination?

Yeah, this is a definite possibility.

I'm pretty sure there are multiple Seinfeld episodes where not wanting to give up a parking space on the street is either a throwaway line or part of a joke

It could have been the Seinfeld episode at the hospital when George gets the primo spot and a guy jumps from the roof and lands on his car.

I don't think there was a Friends episode about a parking space because we almost never saw them driving

My first thought was from Seinfeld too, specifically George regarding his father

Jerry: What about your father's car?

George: No, no, no. Out of the question. I was over there today. He's got the good spot in front
of the good building in the good neighbourhood. I know he's not gonna wanna move.

Jerry: Are you serious?

George: You don't know what that spot means to him. Once he gets it, he doesn't go out for weeks.

Jerry: How about this, you put your car in the good spot, that'll hold the good spot in front of
the good building, and we can get the good car!

George: Good thinking!

Jerry: Good to meet you!

No, they might be thinking of the episode where Ross couldn't get out of a parking spot

This sounds extremely likely to be correct, thank you!

Would say unlikely since Ross wants to get out of it but can't. But yeah, probably the Seinfeld one mentioned above.

I only said that because it's the only parking spot related plot point I could think of in Friends

Edit: I just realised you thought I was referring to OP. I was actually referring to post #15, which was referring to post #13.

The "They" in my post was referring to junk_funk

Ah yeah okay, that makes more sense. Then yeah that one probably or maybe the one where Joey is taking care of a porsche that is not his.

There's an episode of New Girl where they fight over a spot
