LOL. A similar thing happened to me the other day at the supermarket. There
were plenty of other parking spaces not far from where my car was parked in
the lot (it was one of the spaces closest to the store--not a handicapped
space, but one or two over). As soon as I had rolled my cart out to my car,
I noticed a woman in her car, waiting for me to load up my car and pull out
of the spot. (She even had her blinker on so no one else would take the spot
<rolling eyes>.) I had my two-year-old with me, so I put her in her carseat
before I loaded up the groceries. (That takes a little time--have to untwist
the straps and all...) I took my sweet time loading my daughter and the
groceries. The woman kept waiting, though. God forbid she'd have to park a
few feet farther from the store...

I could understand if it were around Christmas-time, and I was parked at the
mall (when it's pretty much impossible to find a parking space), but
c'mon...
