Holiday shoppers brawl over parking spot

"The dispute Sunday led to the arrests and court appearances for two women and a teenager for breach of peace.
Police said the confrontation developed just after 3:30 p.m. in the crowded lot of the Corbins Corner Shopping Center, home to Best Buy, Toys 'R' Us and other retailers.
When a parking space opened up, two cars turned up to fill it.
A woman riding in one of the cars tossed an orange peel at the other vehicle. Angry words erupted and three people jumped out of the cars and, within moments, Officer Kevin McCarthy said, 'all three went to the ground.'" | source:

Yep, that's the holiday spirit folks! I've seen this upclose, when I use to work in retail. The patience tolerance of humans decreases to an all time low that cause tempers flare at all time highs. It's a few extra steps people, it will do you good to burn off those Christmas cookies you've been eating at the office. Damn it I have to go shopping today!!

Take This Survey: Are you a mall parking lot stalker?
Results yield that 87% of people claim to have a 'See it and take it' parking lot personality. Are they telling the truth?
