To wish people wouldn't hold up everyone in the car park

I know that shopping centre car parks are getting busy now with half term and Christmas on the horizon but I wish people would use common sense when looking for a space. If someone has just arrived back at their car with a trolley packed with bags of groceries which have to be unloaded into the boot before wheeling the trolley back to the bay, and a couple of small children who are going to have to be strapped in after the trolley has been returned, then it is obvious it is going to be at least five minutes before that person will be ready to move off.

But does that stop some idiots from sitting there with their indicator flashing while a huge queue of cars builds up behind them often spilling out onto the road and holding up loads of drivers who aren't even going to the shopping centre? No, it doesn't.
AIBU to wish people would not block everyone in this way but would just drive on and wait for another space to become available?

YANBU. I also hate it when cars inch past me as I'm reversing into a space. Just wait 10 seconds and I'll be out of your way!

Or when you're reverseing out of a space and the car beside you won't wait and starts reversing out on top of you. Silly cow did this to me yesterday Angry

Can I just mention the unreasoning rage I felt today at the idiot in the multi-storey carpark who insisted on trying to squeeze into a really tight spot right by the ramp? Took them ages to do a ninety point turn, with a huge queue of people held up behind them. It wasn't as though the carpark was close to full, so that they had to nab the first spot they found - the next level up had loads of empty spaces, which they could easily have driven to in the time it took them to get into the tight spot! aarggghhh!

I told not upset cyclists they buy car and take your parking space.

In multi storey car parks I tend to head for the top roseum. Loads of spaces, nobody waiting.

You get in the lift anyway so it makes no difference. But no, everyone else wants the first space they see which is a PITA to get into. Confused
