Snagged again. I guess my previous post had a little Jersey Flavor to it. I have so much to be thankful for. It was me at the mailbox and I don't have reverse in my loaner cart that's why I did my best to get out of the way quickly. Sorry my speed or lack of speed did not meet your specifications. I'll work on it!

I do this at Mail box--it takes seconds to do and it is because I rather pull out seeing other cars and carts in front of me than backing out. If the person drove thru 6 spots, there were 5 others the OP could take. I have seen CARS pull in and take 3 spots rather than back up. They park SIDEWAYS. And I have had CARTS follow me and drive BEHIND me when I stop to go into reverse to get to the next parking spot without a warning honk. But if there are plenty of spots ???

Felt like stopping directly in front of him & making him wait.

There was no one else at the station besides us

Just gave him a nasty look when he returned to his cart.

Have never seen anyone attempt this with a car
I do this all the time with my Benz Van and many times with my car. Much easier and safer to pull out forward from a parking spot. I'm always equidistant from both parking lines.

I assume that had to take all of 10 seconds for him to do that.....is that such a big deal? What have we become?

And I was wondering who was doing that.....

To the OP: Seriously, how long could it take for a golf cart to cross 6 spaces and park facing out?? And if no on else was there, why was there a "wait" at all??? Even if this guy was crossing the spaces at 0.001 mph. you could be in another spot, empty your mailbox, and be home before he put his parking brake on. Please don't shoot him!!!

That is how it looks to me too. I think that if the OP owned a golf cart and drove a golf cart, then he may view this differently.. And as someone else pointed out, this IS a golf cart community, Both cart drivers and car riders need to be patient and cautious around each other. I would rather be going forward in my golf cart rather than backing up in a situation where there are cars doing unpredictable things. They can harm you. Especially if the driver is carrying.

If I showed the posts on this site to my son, his comment would be "A bunch of first world problems". We should all be thankful that we are better off than 99.9% of the world's population.
