Mitty leaves the car and muses that people like that parking attendant are always so arrogant.

The parking attendant just tells him to leave the car there, and he'll park it properly. It seems he entered the parking lot through the exit lane.

Walter's fantasy is interrupted by a boy shouting at him to back up.

When the other doctors get stuck, Mitty steps in to save the day. When one of the machines breaks during the operation, Mitty deftly uses a fountain pen to fix it, buying the surgeons ten minutes to continue. They both express their admiration for Mitty as a doctor.

In this fantasy, Mitty is introduced to the other doctors performing a surgery on the millionaire.

This time, he's a famous doctor trying to save a millionaire and friend of the president's named Wellington McMillan. He drives past a hospital and launches into another fantasy.

Mitty drives away and is chastised by a cop for dawdling while putting on his gloves.

Mitty reminds him not to forget to buy his overshoes (rubber rain boots) and insists that he wear his gloves while driving.

Walter drops his wife off to get her hair done and gets ready to do the list of errands she's prepared for him.

Mitty complains that he's going too fast.

Of course, this scenario turns out to be little more than a fantasy in the mind of Walter Mitty, who isn't so much piloting anything as he is driving his wife into town.He is a brave and unstoppable man and clearly has the admiration of his crew. The story begins with a Commander trying to get an 'eight-engined Navy hydroplane' through a storm (1).
