Parking lot etiquette and vent.

Someone at GM thought it was a good idea to illuminate the back up lights at times when people are not actually reversing. They come on when people are getting out of the car, unlocking it, etc. It's super confusing in parking lots because you think the car might move until you realize the driver isn't even in the car yet.

I just noticed this today on my new Chevy Trailblazer.

I used to have a rule about shopping at brick and mortar stores during Christmas season: only early in the morning or late at night. But this year I started doing that all the time. It's just a lot easier to navigate the parking lots and the stores.

My "rule" is no more Costco til January.

I was looking at all the pictures of the parking lots. I don't know who in their ever loving mind thought it was a good idea to put a Costco and Walmart in the same parking lot by me.

we used to live in an area where the local Costco shared a property and parking lot with the local Sam's Club-that got crazy! Add to that where their shared parking lot ended the adjacent property became a Super Walmart. not only were the parking lots a nightmare but the single small surface street to access them was awful-unless you were going to one of the 3 you avoided the area as much as possible.

I usually park away from everyone, because people are stupid.

Yesterday I went to Costco. Anyone who goes there on a Saturday knows how crowded it can be, and finding a parking spot can be a challenge. I noticed someone getting in their car, so I immediately put my blinker on. A couple seconds later someone honks at me from behind. I didn't move, so the car goes around me. Was I being rude? As that car goes around me, a couple of very inappropriate words come out of my mouth. My window was up, so the driver didn't see or hear me. There's been multiple times I've been stuck behind a car waiting for a spot, and I don't do anything. I just patiently wait until there's room to move. So the car that honks at me never waits for a spot when he sees one coming up? Yeah right. Have you ever been in a similar situation?

That was me. I just wanted to let you know your right rear brake light was out. I was going to roll down my window on the way by but given that you were screaming and carrying on I thought you already knew.

OP, your post reminded me of that scene in Fried Green Tomatoes when the character, played by Kathy Bates, gets robbed of a parking space she has been waiting on, and rams the offender’s car in retaliation!

Fried Green Tomatoes is my favorite movie, and I love that scene. I felt like doing the same thing to that guy that honked at me.
