Right?
If they don't have their back up lights on, I ALWAYS drive by if someone is in the back of me. There's a ***HUGE*** DIFFERENCE if someone is about to leave like they aren't even in their car yet vs. someone that is backing up.
Even if someone is not in the back of me, if they aren't even in their car yet, I NEVER just sit there, because someone may be trying to back out that I don't know about. It's the HONEST to GOD'S TRUTH, I SWEAR!!
What I usually do in that case if no one is in the back of me, I circle around hoping the spot is still there when I get back around. If not, aw well, I wasn't going to hold up anyone to get it. It's just too long to wait to get the spot that I could be holding someone up. It's different if they are actively backing out, then I do wait even if someone is in the back of me, because they already are backing out, but NOT if they aren't even in their car yet, NO WAY!! Also, if someone is even in their car, unless they are actively backing out, I won't wait whether someone is in the back of me or not, doesn't matter, because I could be blocking someone that is trying to back out of another space. I have had that happen where I have been blocked due to a jerk that wanted a different space. I honked on their ass until they moved they INCONSIDERATE JERK!
