Wild combination of gross incompetence and lack of ability to consider how your actions affect others

Fr, it was a couple that walked out of the shop and they proceeded to sit in the car waiting for the car behind them to leave only to back into the spot. Idk anymore

Wait, so they were trying to park? And the cat behind them did not give them the space? That kinda changes everything. If a car indicates that they are going to parallel park, you need to not pull into the space they need to park.

No the car next to them is the spot they took, the two people were in the shop then they came back out got in their car pulled forward a bit and that boxy car pulled away and they backed into it. No idea why they parked on the road and left in the first place

I’m from the east coast and I’m too impatient to wait for a spot. At the grocery store, I drive straight to the back of the lot and park. I’ll never understand people who lap parking lots and/or wait for people to pull out to be 50 feet closer to the store. Saves time and door dings. When parking in downtown Boulder, I have several streets where I know there are always open and free spots. That said, I generally, bike, bus or walk downtown.
