Still, it's easier to get forgiveness than permission.

At that point, you beg forgiveness and tell them you are working as fast as you can to get done, but that the vehicle can't be moved until you finish the job.

Speaking of Chutzpah,
I heard that the example of chutzpah is that when you have been convicted of murdering BOTH of your parents and they hold a hearing on your sentencing, you throw yourself upon the mercy of the court because, after all, you are an orphan!

At that point, you beg for Chinese food and tell them you will eat it as fast as you can to get done, but that the vehicle can't be moved until you finish the food.
