I went to the mall and was prowling the parking lot for a space (we called it the sharking lot in college) and came upon a car just leaving. I waited for them to leave and they backed out towards me. A Hummer came from the other direction and pulled right into the spot I was waiting for!

Or at least he tried to pull in. He pulled in, backed out, pulled in again, backed out, all the while I could not move because each time he backed out he took up the entire aisle. After about 4 times of adjusting and trying to fit in the space, he gave up and I pulled in :P

Just another reason I am happy to own my Prius!

As I belive driving laws should state, "Hybrids have the right of way."

Yup :P This parking lot at the mall is notorius for other drivers swiping spots. Everyone wants to park in this one area because it is near most of the restuarants. I wanted to park there because I was only running into one store that is right inside that entrance.

THe Hummer driver wouldn't even look at me as he drove past me

He was so embarrassed that he couldn't get his monstrosity into the space, that he didn't want you to see him seeing you gloat.
