Option B. Your decision to camp out and wait for the THE particular spot I'm occupying has no impact on the pace at which I exit that space. In fact, if there are beaucoup spots available elsewhere I'm even less motivated. Take a little walk, it might do you some good. My wife is a parking space stalker. It drives me nuts. She will spend ten minutes in a parking lot trying to get THE space. Either cruising up and down, camping out behind someone getting in their car, or rolling slowly behind a likely target walking to a car in the RIGHT area. Not me. I drive right to the wide open spaces, park within a few seconds, and walk. I can't stand people who sit there blocking traffic fixated on one space when other spaces are available.

Same here. Not that I take forever to get going, but I am not "rushing" to give them a space.

Everytime I start my car I let it fully warm up, I walk to the person waiting and tell them it's gonna be a wile my car needs to warm up... Most elder people get offended and furious. The younger crowd will just sit still in there car blasting music hoping hot chicks/guys will walk by and notice them... People these days need to find something better to do in their "free" time...

Usually I park way in the back away from other cars because I hate door dings, but there is always that asshole that parks as close as humanly possible no matter how many vacant spaces are available within a 647 mile radius....... -____________-

Mostly B or A. However, like a lot of folks on this board, I'm far enough away from the entrance that few if any want my spot anyway. If I do end up at the mall, I try to take the Suburban and look for an S2K to park next to.

I dont willingly park near other cars at all and if I am forced to do so then I park super close to the curb in corner spots.

B.

I used to lean more towards A, but then I came to the conclusion that people in general suck pretty hardcore - so I go about my business as normal even if someone is waiting on me.

If the lot is not too busy I try and wait until no one is around looking for a spot before approaching my car. That way I'm not rushed to get out.
But if there is someone waiting I make an effort to get out fairly quick.

^ Same, but to throw off those who deliberately take their sweet ass time, I hit reverse and act like I found another spot. This almost always causes them to move their asses. Online FTW though, I cant stand the hoards of disgusting mobs that is todays public... alotta people these days dont understand personal space, personal hygeine or how to use a breath mint. Had some middle aged mommy about a week ago came up to me at the counter, stood so close she hip checked me and threw her garbage up with mine. I brushed it to the floor and asked her why she feels entitled enough to assault me, she unleashed a boatload of profanities at me, the cashier and the other customers looking at her and then she left. F entitled people....
