That is sad. A couple of months ago, I was backing out at the grocery store
when another car started to back up and could have possibly hit me. I
honked. They stopped, turned around looked at me and began to back up more.
I honked again. They repeated the procedure. I laid on the horn. People
turned around and looked. Car still continued to back up rather quickly. I
had to rocket back into my parking space or I would have been hit. I
couldn't believe it and neither could my daughter. Left me shaking because
I had to move so quickly to avoid being hit.
