I was on the way to the movies today, and it was packed, I guess due to today being Black Friday. Anyway I was reverse parking into a space when a car comes up out of nowhere allowing me no space to reverse park. I continue inching toward the car, backing up while not hitting the car. It comes to the point where I can’t back up more without hitting her car. I roll down the window and ask the woman driving the car to backup since there are no cars behind her. She doesn’t budge. I’m assuming she wants me to accidentally hit her car so she can get some money out of it, but I honestly don’t know. I put my car in park, and we’re at a standstill for a minute. Then I put my car in drive and drive up a little to get some space to keep backing up, barely hitting a parked car up ahead. I get the space needed to park, put the car in reverse and make it into the slot, almost hitting her car.

I know she’s not obliged to back up, but seriously? There were no cars behind her and the both of us could’ve saved two minutes. The entire encounter made me angry but I’m just wondering if finding another place to park was the move here and whether I was the asshole here?
