“ FUHGETABOUTIT” you ought to be ashamed of yourself for blocking 2 of us by parking behind our carts at Publix on Southerntrace shopping center. What an idiot! So wish I knew how to post the 2 pictures I took of your cart!!!

I feel your pain, Kaydee - I didn't realize parking one's golf cart behind another was even "a thing" until someone did it to me on one of the squares last year - it was not even a busy time of day and there were plenty of empty spaces, so I had to assume the person who blocked me from behind merely enjoyed saving a few steps although it caused me to spend about 10 minutes going backwards and forwards in an attempt to exit the spot without hitting either the carts to either side of me or the cart of the extremely inconsiderate person who'd penned me in from behind.
I had to keep my old NYC personality in check on this sweltering-hot afternoon to avoid storming into the nearby establishments to make a loud inquiry for ["license plate# here"] and insist that they move. I was especially livid because, along my non-car-owner upbringing comes (in my case) a great talent for yelling "Taxi!" but zero talent in negotiating tight parking spaces. Conversely, your clueless "FUHGETABOUTIT" (who by his plate is obviously a former NY'er) may have learned to park on a dime- maybe from Brooklyn or a former Valet LOL. Fortunately for me and those around me, I had 4 grandkids with me whose presence forced me to feign composure as I embarrassingly moved my cart backwards and forwards numerous times (periodically exiting the cart for a close visual check as to whether I had room to maneuver) as they impatiently observed and repeatedly asked me what was wrong.
Lesson learned - tho the parking space may be long enough for an SUV, do not pull your golf cart up to the front if you want to be assured an easy exit.
