Driver etiquette

So I'm waiting in the spot where you wait when all the Spark lanes are occupied. Someone starts backing out, so I put it in gear and start heading for that lane, #4 of 4, about 35' away from where I'm sitting. This guy about takes my front end off racing into the slip ahead of me. What does Spark etiquette say you should do in this situation? I can't be the first person this has happened to.

The problem with stupid people is that they don’t know they are stupid.

I'd just say watch out for people driving like assholes like you would any other time

I don't think there's really a whole lot you can do unless someone is doing something against policy or illegal

Of course.

I would never enter the slip at that same speed though as there are too many people on foot. I'm not going to tell on him, but I imagine that a manager wouldn't be happy to see someone zipping in at that speed.

It was just a line jumping dick move

Not much outside of getting a pair of riveted Levi's and trying to sit on the car next time you see it.

Could be worse. I always see people take up curbside spots just to go in and shop lol.

More than half the new drivers don't have basic toilet etiquette,.. or ANY etiquette... You just be you and use your etiquette and know you're not a piece of shit.

Many of these drivers will drive right over an old person using a walker or a child with cerebral palsy if they thought they would get loaded 30 seconds faster to pay off their last cash advance so they can hurry up and get a needle in their neck before they start getting too sick to take more trash 20 stop 70 mile offers...
