What's fun is when you have two young kids that you are trying to get set in their car seats and some guy feels the need to wait and honk over and over again. I guess he expects me to throw them in the trunk and hope they are ok when I get home. I usually smile and give a wave when I'm done.
Or when you're walking through a parking lot with a bag, they're following you, and oops, it's just the shortest route to the bus stop, you don't even have a car.There is such pleasure when you forget something in your car and have to go get it. The person looking for a space thinks you're leaving when you're actually not. They speed off in annoyance.

Holy shit. I've never had someone be aggressive towards me. They are usually very courteous. I tell them I got kids and shit to pack or we. They usually either leave or tell me to take my time.
I'm sorry OP but if you have ever experienced the fresh hell that is trying to park at a Costco or a busy shopping mall on a weekend you'd be singing a different time. You do what you have to do to find a spot.
Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyep.
Can't agree to this. How can you say they are inconsiderate when you are also being inconsiderate, if you are leaving the spot is up for grabs. If you're not then just wave them to let them know you're not, simple as that. When I go to my car and see someone waiting or looking for a spot I always give them a signal to let them know and I leave as soon as possible, I mean, I'm already leaving so why waste my and other people's time.I'm talking about people who, if they see someone in a car, they immediately just sit there and signal, no fucks given.
It's fucking annoying, and honestly inconsiderate IMO.
Parking in university always stressed me the fuck out. Sometimes I'd have a long gap and I just wanted to have a little break in my car. 9 times out of 10 I'd get people in their car signaling and standing there until they figure out that I'm not leaving, instead of maybe driving around for probably not even a minute.
And when I finished class during a time where it's kinda busy, I would always dread going to the parking lot because that meant people following me to my car (coming up to me and asking me if I need a ride to my car, for instance) or people watching me like a hawk. I'd hurry tf up and immediately get out just so those people don't wait. Like yeah, you could say "maybe don't chill in your car" but why? I mean I've NEVER sat there and signaled waiting for a parking spot. I'll drive around and look for an open spot. If it's kind of far, oh well. I wouldn't want to rush people or make them uncomfortable, and while a lot of the time there's wiggle room for cars behind, it's still annoying, especially if the car in front kind of abruptly stops.
And a lot of times, the people who do this, will do this even if there's other parking spaces very close by. They just don't want to walk more than 3 feet.
There's a street near where I live that's super crowded and someone ALWAYS signals and waits for a car to leave the spot and then slowly parallel park into the spot, and everyone behind them has to wait an eternity for this process to finish because there's never any wiggle room, when there's plenty of fucking space to park like 30 feet away.
Like I'm just tired of it. But maybe I'm in the minority and being ridiculous but UGHHHH like in my mind basically people don't wanna walk even a little. Who else agrees???
Yup, should be illegal. Puts unnecessary pressure on the person in the parking space as well who now needs to leave as quick as possible.
Yeah in my neighborhood you take what you can get. I've literally circled my apartment for over 30 minutes before. If I see a person who looks like they may possibly leave, you bet I'm going to wait to see if they're leaving. It could literally be the difference between getting home 5 minutes from then and 40 minutes from then.This is the only way to survive downtown or in University parking. Either you wait for the guy who's leaving or drive around for half an hour and walk extra blocks to your destination.
This person followed me through the parking lot like a stalker. Then he yelled at me for not moving fast enough. He didn't deserve the spot. This man was... a psycho.
If I see someone signaling for a spot I am about to leave, I am chilling for at least 5 minutes.
Wtf is this attitude caused by eating Avocado Toast? I swear some of y'all are straight up misanthropes.
Remember that time you were desperate to park? Try to do an empathy laaawwwd
Agreed. And it's all about context here.I'm the opposite, if its super busy at a store/grocery store, get in your car and gtfo.
This is it really. It's what it's all about.People looking for a spot should be patient and not pressure the person leaving.
The people leaving should be considerate of their fellow person and not dawdle unnecessarily in a crowded parking lot.
It's not that complicated...generally, people should just try to be good to each other.
This. There's a lot of people proud of acting like assholes. I want to see a Venn diagram with the people in this thread and the spoilers thread.People looking for a spot should be patient and not pressure the person leaving.

^ also, thisI thought this thread would be about you waiting in line behind someone waiting for a spot. To find out that it's actually about you sitting in the car and being stressed out about not even leaving your spot is just about the most resetera way this thread could ever unfold.
Once I had a guy waiting on my spot and I sat there in my car just to spite him. Bullshitted around, made a call, played with the radio. And then when he finally drove a little bit past me, I pulled out and some random pulled right in. Fuck that guy thinking he deserved a spot.
Some of you guys are real sociopaths. Honestly, seek help. It's not healthy to be carrying around this kind of resentment all the time.
You should have known better by now.I thought this thread would be about you waiting in line behind someone waiting for a spot.

I'm always amazed when I find out Americans still use cheques at retail.OP is prolly the type of person that writes a check to pay for a couple items in the express lane in the supermarket.
Like seriously, get the fuck in your car and LEAVE. Like, I'll give you some wiggle room to pick your Spotify playlist or whatever but if you don't get out within 30 seconds you are a literal human piece of shit and I hate you. Like, you do not belong behind the wheel and I would take away your license if I could.
GO HANG OUT LITERALLY ANYWHERE ELSE. IF THERE IS A PARKING LOT THERE ARE PROBABLY BENCHES NEARBY, WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU HANGING OUT IN YOUR CAR LIKE A FUCKING DORK!?!?!?!? ARGH!!!!
Yeah, this thread is actively pissing me off, the fact that some of y'all are dickheads and still trying to play the victim is confirming all of my worst fears and assumptions about people who act stupid when they see I am trying to park.
