This is a weekly occurance for me, atleast. The other classic is traffic overtaking you so you cant start the parking procedure. Often Only 1 in 10 of those , in my experience, are willing to give up 20seconds so you can get into the park, in order to reduce the risk of a collision with oncoming traffic - since the overtaking crosses the centreline. And more often than not the other 9 are just rushing to get to a queue of cars at an intersection only 100 metres ahead, which they could clearly see. Designing cities around cars is idiotic, and the whole being in charge of this clunky inefficient stupid machine alters the behaviour of some people in strange ways, the most concerning of which is a disconnect with the physical reality of driving in relation to safety. Id like to hope those 9 in 10 overtakers are smarter in every other aspect of their lives. I can only take personal responsibility for myself , i.e its my fault I drive.

@Dave crazy story but this just happened after my message. A car pulled up to my bumper and wanted the park i was reversing into. The lady refused to move!

Bugger that, I had nowhere to be and can stay stubborn longer than her lack of shame can last.
