Don't these people know the reason you park way out from a store is to be away from other parked cars.
They do. They just want to pi** you off.

I think some know why you park there and they are just being a smarta$$...no other real explanation - I have seen it happen also!

I give them the high beam flash, then tail gate and if that fails pass on the right & move back into the left w/about an inch between our bumpers...then hit the gas hard.

AMEN! That is my biggest pet peeve and that is also EXACTLY how I deal with it as well. I like your style.

I have a problem when you're in a line of traffic, no one behind you, and some fool has to pass you, cut in line and SLOW DOWN!
