You know them. You probably hate them. The inconsiderate a-holes who see someone is backing out of a parking spot and just HAVE to have it, never mind the fact that there are dozens of parking spots a few yards away. And, to add another middle finger, they always somehow magically block the whole aisle so it is impossible to pass them. Thoughts on them flood?

If the parking lot is full I don't exactly expect them to keep driving and not take the spot.

I do that. If there's a space I can get to that's significantly easier to get to than other places, I will kindly wait there for your vehicle to leave the spot.

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

I used to get mad. Now I'm just over it.

This. if it is not full yes it is stupid and likely to cause an accident.

Sometimes I am tempted to quit gaming. I can no longer play without seeing ponyphags, horrendously bad teammates and mexicans.

Gaming community, I want you to know that you suck.

People do this when the lot isn't full?

Are you sure you're not parking in the handicapped space?

Exactly.

Don't be an ass, OP.

the only instance i've seen this is when the car park is absolutely full, why would you wait for a space when there are more further away ?

Depends.

Is the parked car backing up right now or about to?

Mild annoyance.

Is the person packing their groceries into the car and going to take 10 minutes?

I'll do it regardless of whether or not the parking lot is full.

  • 12.29.2012 12:52 AM PDT

I just did that today... The only time I do it is when the lot is full though.

  • 12.29.2012 12:53 AM PDT

They don't bother me in slightest. I usually don't wait for close parking spots, If I don't find one that's close to were I need to be, I'll just park further back to the location and walk the distance.

This is something that people actually get mad about? Your patience must be pathetic.

Mad enough to actually do something in real life or sit and steam about it for hours on end?

No.

Mad enough to -blam!- about it in a forum?

Yes.

I see all of those as pathetic. Seriously. You had to wait for maybe a minute while one car pulled out of a space and another pulled into it. Better tell everyone how it rustled your jimmies on the internet.

I can 1-up you, OP. What really annoys me is drivers in front of me who are travelling 20km under the speed limit, especially when it comes to a single-lane road with a continuous double-line separating the two directions.

Thank you very much Pacific Highway.

OP, what do you think about people who don't turn right-on-red when they can in states where that's legal? Sometimes I don't do it if I can't really see. One time I got a guy so angry his face was turning red and he was honking like crazy.

I remember when we were in college we used to watch the parking lot by the house like a hawk for parking spots in the winter because if you parked on the street you would get a ticket. If we made a beer run someone had to stay behind and stand guard over the spot so no one else would take it (literally stand in the open parking spot and not let other cars park there). Good times.

Corn, Oil, and Wine... We need more wine...

You know that one car that's parked out past all the other cars that looks like a speck on the black top? That's my car. It's easy to avoid annoying drivers in lots when I just park away from everyone else.
