Yes, I know that the Starbucks is rather busy at 8 in the morning - especially considering that it is an industrial area and they are one of the main stops for people heading in for their shifts.  Yes, all the parking spots immediately in front of the store are taken.  Sitting smack in the middle of the lane will not change this fact.  Oh, and see those three arrows that are all pointing in one direction?  That means that you are not only being a stupid parking vulture, you are also trying to enter through the exit only. Even if someone were to try to leave and open a parking spot there are two problems:  1) the parking spots are slanted, and it would take a hell of a lot of maneuvering for you to get your car into the spot and 2) you are blocking the exit!  Where the hells are they supposed to go?!

So, yes.  I will sit in my car and stare at you until you finally clue in to the fact that you are a giant asshat, put your car in reverse and proceed around the lane like everyone else to enter the parking flow.  And even if that means that someone else might come along in the 15 seconds that takes and use that parking spot?  There are a lot more spots in the back.  No - not in the bank where the spots are specifically marked for bank/ATM use only.  No, not directly in front of the other businesses that have signs in front of each spot that specify that there is no Starbucks parking allowed.  More parking in the back!  Oh noes!!1!  That means that you will have to walk and entire 30 feet and be utterly inconvenienced.  Suck it up, buttercup.  The world is not ran for your convenience. 

It is ran for mine, thank you very much.  And someone's doing a damned sucky job at it, too.
