Sorry this happened to you, Tal. Even sorrier that some think you were wrong on some level. Perhaps re-wording the situation might help some understand:
The OP was at the postal station with 50 open parking spaces. He was on the passenger side helping his 102 year old mother into the seat when someone pulled into the space next to him and impatiently tried to "bully" him out of her way, forcing him to move to avoid being hit. Is that behavior acceptable as well, or is it different when it is a dog?
Some thought he was looking for a fight by giving a "nasty" look. He wasn't the one with the 2 ton lethal weapon. I have an even temper, but in a situation like this I would, and actually have a few times, gone over to the driver and in my best Ben Carson voice tell him. "Please move your car, or I will move it for you. You will be far better off choosing the first option" Worked 2 for 2 so far.
And even if this was the last parking space available and 10 cars were circling the lot to find one, there is no reason why the driver couldn't pull halfway in to claim the space and wait 10 sec. for the rest of the space to clear.
Like the title of the thread----RUDE
