    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.

      I’ve noticed people who are constantly trying to ‘cheat’ their way in life end up falling behind those who just do things the normal way.

        Oh you nailed it. Every millionaire worked hard and earned it. None of them just cheat or work the system. There’s so much wisdom in this comment

          I don’t know if there are just a bunch of bootlickers out today, or are they all autistic from getting the jab and don’t understand sarcasm.

            Can’t wait until they do an IQ test of people who trust vaccines vs those that don’t 😅

      Whenever someone is waiting for me to unload my groceries and move, I suddenly have the urge to check my messages and catch up on some blah blah blah. Doesn’t really matter what.

      The moment the person moves on, I remember what I was doing. Doesn’t matter if they immediately do a u turn and snag it, that’s not the point.

      The point is I’m petty and you can do a lap.

      At the Costco by me following a person to their car is the only way to get a spot… The parking lot legitimately fills completely, unless you’re willing to park very far away where there aren’t even cart returns…

        So, it doesn’t fill completely…

          I don’t think you get the scale of parking lots in Texas, or how far back you’d have to walk to return your cart at that point. I’m not even sure that part of the parking area isn’t technically the next restaurant’s lot instead.

              Okay yeah, I’m a bit more awake now. I don’t want to walk, and if you’re packing up your car, I think it’s fair for me to wait patiently for you to finish up to take your spot. You’re already clearly intending to leave, and I don’t mind if you take a minute to set up your GPS or whatever, it’s not like I’m honking at you.

                Yeah, not sure why you’ve been absolutely blasted by downvoters. How is someone silently waiting for another to vacate a spot they’ve indicated they will soon be leaving some harsh, aggressive gesture? Somehow, the silent, vague “pressure” that someone is also interested in something they’ve temporarily occupied is distressing. Public bathrooms must be hell for them.

                  Honestly, your point is way better than mine, and even you’ve received downvotes for it. Like, bathroom lines exist. Sucks if you have shy bladder, but that doesn’t make the person behind you need to pee any less either.

                    Yeah, except you’re standing in the doorway, literally the frame of the door, waiting for one specific toilet to become available because it suits your needs, in spite of the one next to it being available as well, and now everyone’s gotta brush up against you to get in and out of the goddamn bathroom.
