Default Parking Spot at Mall - etiquette ?

So if you see someone waiting for your spot do you....

A - hurry up a little, get in and get moving so they can have the spot
B - take your time but still exit within reason
C - Start your car then Txt a few people, maybe play with the radio for a while then finally back out
D - Start the car, call someone on the phone and wait until the person waiting beeps, flashes their lights and not back out of the spot until after that guy waiting has left.


Mall Season right now... people suck.... I always try to hurry and be courteous.... these f@#king assholes who light their cigs, txt then as soon as you drive off the f@#kers leave.... I always hope they wreck into a utility pole as part of their karma.

if they drive a Dodge, what I'd do is tell them I'm not leaving then as soon as they drive past, I wave to let the next car take my soon-to-be vacated spot.

B, because if I'm at the mall I probably have my kids with me and they slow as hell as it is.

If someone waits/follows me down the row. I put my bags in the car and then go back into the mall, even if I was originally intending on leaving... hahahah just kidding.

I think proper etiquette at the mall during the holidays is to park as far from the doors as possible. Walk past all the suckers blocking traffic waiting for occupied spots.

And yes, malls ARE for teenage girls. Why else would you go there?

I have learned you can basically park where ever the hell you want, besides handicap, especially with the S. I just drive under guard gates and park in employee parking and stuff, f@#k waiting

If this happens at Costco, grocery store, etc, option A, always, because I'd appreciate someone doing the same.

Hypothetically, A or B. In reality though, none of the above because I wouldn't be caught dead at the mall during the holidays.
