Parking and Californians

Ok, so I don't know if this applies to all Californians or just the ones in Northern California, but they have this habit when it comes to parking their cars that absolutely drives me nuts! So you're going to the grocery store. The parking lot is semi-full. What do you do? Do you drive around waiting for that perfect spot to come available or do you just take the first parking spot available? Well, if you're a Californian you do something more annoying.

They will spot a shopper exiting the store. They will stalk them down to see where their car is. When they do, they will wait, and wait, and wait, and wait, well, you get the point. What are they waiting for? They're waiting for them to empty their huge shopping cart stuffed to the brim with stuff and for them to vacate that parking spot. What, that's not a big deal? Yeah, well it is when you're behind this person and just trying to find a parking spot. They will literally hold up traffic in parking lots in order to get this perfect spot. For crying out loud, just take the first spot available! Is that too much to ask? I suppose it it.
