Comments on: NCBI ROFL: Territorial defense in parking lots: retaliation against waiting drivers. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/discoblog/2012/03/26/ncbi-rofl-territorial-defense-in-parking-lots-retaliation-against-waiting-drivers/ Sat, 11 May 2013 22:50:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Anonymous http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/discoblog/2012/03/26/ncbi-rofl-territorial-defense-in-parking-lots-retaliation-against-waiting-drivers/#comment-26150 Anonymous Tue, 27 Mar 2012 12:55:00 +0000 http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/discoblog/?p=21534#comment-26150 Absolutely agree.  I don't get road rage or anything like that- but I am a mini-vigilante on the road at time.  If I see someone doing dangerous driving- weaving around,etc... I probably get more fun slowing them down on purpose than I probably should.  Same in the parking lot if someone is being obnoxious. I hate when people block traffic in the parking lot to get a spot slightly closer to the door- rather than not being a lazy arse and just parking in a spot that is open slightly further away.  If you dare honk at me... be prepared to see my super power- slowness in movement. As a rule, I refuse to be one of those people that stop in the middle of the parkinglot waiting for someone to back out... it's just a rude, obnoxious thing to do (although I could understand if there are no parking spots- as is the case some places at Xmas... often times, the person just doesn't want to walk an extra 20ft)- if someone isn't already in the process of leaving- I go to a spot that is open- even if I have to walk further.

I'm not being territorial. I take longer to leave when they honk just because they’re being impatient assholes and I want to piss them off. I’m not being territorial.
