I'm always surprised when there are so many choices people choose the spot right beside you whether in a restaurant, parking lot or whatever. The few steps closer to her box perhaps but certainly not more important than a neighbor, especially one struggling with a pet. At this point I tend to come up with excuses for why she might have acted this way but decided not to do so.
In cases like this, I try not to lose my cool and politely ignore the situation but if she glared too long I would have to point out the obvious. "Have you had such a bad day you couldn't take any other space than the one where you could glare at me and pretend it is my fault for holding YOU up!"
