Don't get me wrong, I am the king of anti-road rage. I don't speed (honestly, I don't go over the speed limit.) I don't freak out and honk at people over silly foolish things. But those people in the parking lots... you know the ones I am talking about.
There I am, after work, just needing to pick up a gallon of milk so the kids can have cereal in the morning, and then it happens. An SUV in front of me in the parking lane stops for no apparent reason. So in turn I stop, along with the person that has just pulled up behind me. As I look ahead, I see a woman pushing a shopping cart, and put the car into park. The SUV in front of me is going to wait for the woman to unload her cart and open up the parking spot.
This would be fine, if the parking lot was full, but no, as I look around I see multiple spots open. I can't get to them though, because I am now boxed in. So there I sit. For twenty minutes. So this person can avoid walking an extra twelve feet. If the sheer sloth of this person were not annoying enough, there is a second factor.
If the sheer sloth of this person were not annoying enough, there is a second factor. Aside from shopping, what is it we do large amounts of in stores? Walk! This person is about to set off on a forty minute foot trek through a store, and they want to spare themselves from an extra six steps. So what does this say about our society? More than I am willing to write here tonight. I have to turn in early, tomorrow I have to go to the store.

I think this sentence should be the opening one of the last paragraph.
Other than that I say next time, wait until they've parked their car, and pull up and park behind them and go have lunch or dinner or something.
I once had a friend with me in the car who complained that I didn't llok any closer to the mall for a spot.
So now, whenever he is in the car I immediately pull into a lot and take the furthest space from the door, regardless if there are other cars in the lot or empty spaces.
And I always say "That was for complaining that one time."

Fight the good fight Big Bri, fight the good fight.
"well according to big bri here, in addition to a number of girls in the niagara falls area, you and he are currently riding the hobby horse."
Couldn't resist.
