Mrs. Mitty
Young, cocky men who, Walter Mitty feels, judge him for not being able to handle his car. The parking-lot attendant parks Mitty’s car with what Mitty sees as “insolent skill,” while the garagemen grin at Mitty as they remove his tire chains. Although Mitty’s reaction to these characters groups them together, only the parking-lot attendant appears in the story’s present; the garagemen are part of Mitty’s memory and his plan to avoid embarrassment on future visits to the garage.
