Parking Etiquette (Diagram Included)

Just curious, not going to make an issue either way as it's my workplace.

Tight spaces, policy is reverse parking. Red car arrived immediately after green car, saw green car arriving. Should driver of red car wait for driver of green car to get out before reversing or should driver of green car wait for red to park before exiting?

I'm green car and had my driver's door open before red started to reverse but they still kept coming. I jumped out, shut my door and moved round the front of my car.

It was still dark so to be honest it probably would have been safer to wait and I'm probably guilty of doing the same on occasion. I'm just curious as to what the polite thing to do would be.

Red car should wait unless green driver is waiting

I wouldn’t wait, as I have no idea how long it will take you to exit your car.

But if the door was open and you were getting out, then I would said.
