I pulled up beside the car ahead of the empty space, put on my right turn signal, put the car in reverse, and immediately a golf cart pulled up right onto my tail. I could not back up into the space because he was about 3 feet behind my bumper. I motioned that I was trying to back into the space, but they stayed on my tail and would not go around or give me space to back up.
So, I pulled forward thinking I'd give up the space. A few spaces ahead, there was another open space. I pulled up beside the car ahead of it, turn on my right signal, put the car in reverse, and ANOTHER golf cart driver pulled up onto my tail so I could not back up. They didn't get it either!!
So I left that street and parked elsewhere. We checked the backup tail lights on our car, and they work. The sun was not a factor. This was aggravating.

That is enough to tick ya off! If you have someone riding with you in a similar situation where there's a heavy demand on the parking spaces, you might try pulling up parallel to the parking space then have the other person get out and position themselves to prevent some airhead from trying to steal your spot while you finish the parking. There were a number of times when I was younger that I wished I had a key to open the tire valves on inconsiderate people like that!
