I have people follow me to my car at the grocery store when they notice I'm in a good spot (there are other, less desirable spots available, mind you). I take my sweet time loading my bags make sure nothing will tip over in transit. And during the time I'm loading, sometimes I decide I need something from the adjacent liquor store.
I've never understood why people sit and wait for spots when there's spots available. Drive around. If someone is pulling out, sure, but don't watch people load their shit up.
Yeah, I don't sit and block traffic because I'm too lazy to find another spot. "Do unto others," you know? I don't like being made to move faster because you just need this spot.
EDIT: And hold up, you'll move your car and load it? So you will leave your groceries just in a cart, go and move your car to some further spot, and load it there? How is that at all the right thing to do? Where are you moving your car to, an empty spot? Like, one the person who's sitting there waiting could've parked their car?
Yeah, maybe I don't understand what you mean on the second point. But aisle widths where I'm from run 20-24 feet for two-way traffic, and while, sure, you can fit three side by side, you're getting tight, and the lot is full of folks who generally don't understand the size of their vehicle and so you get a bottleneck. I just think waiting for a spot is rude, and you apparently feel differently, and that's fine. If it means anything, I'm not downvoting you, I think we're having a discussion, one that I started in particular, and I'm always down to talk about things that are ultimately pretty meaningless, because it's much better than talking about things that matter.
It's rude because it blocks traffic.
While you spend 20 minutes doing that, I’ll be driving home
