Beware of the car pulling into the parking spot in front of you...

They just might back in to you without looking.

This happened to me yesterday. I waited for the Ford Expedition to pull in to a parking space in front of me at work yesterday morning. They were halfway in the spot or more when I decided to pass them. Although there was plenty of room to make a wide turn into the spot to pull in straight, she decided to back up and straighten herself out. Without looking behind her for pedestrians or vehicles, she backed up anyway and hit my driver side rear door.

It looks like my deductible will be waived as she was more than 50% at fault and I can get this fixed at no cost.
