The Rules: Parking

Putting one's shopping in the car is not offering you the parking spot.  The occupant is not offering you the spot until you see their backing lights go on.  Until then, move along and quit holding up traffic.

If I see anyone doing this to me, I'll deliberately close the door and walk around the block just to teach them a lesson.

  1. I hate that too! It's so annoying, either as the driver stuck behind the waiting car, or as the person packing the car. Nothing pisses me off more than someone sitting and waiting for me to finish, they may as well be standing right next to me tapping their watch, its so irritating!

  2. I actually had one creep in a BMW honk at me to hurry up once.
    That's what led to my policy of closing the door and walking away. It's worth holding myself up a bit just to show them up.

  3. Was he a creep for honking or for the BMW?
