Say the parking is full. You saw a car is leaving, you wait and signals. The departing car pulls out and just that moment, a car from the opposite side snug in and take your spot. Say it is obvious that you were waiting for the spot.
What will you do ?
1) Keep honking at the driver who parked at your spot ?
2) Get out of the car and confront the driver who just parked your spot ?
3) Give the drive a middle finger or curse at him/her and move on to find another spot ?
4) or what ?

Move on, fast. Then come back and slice his tires.

OK this what you should NOT do.
Once I was on a parking lot I was like you waiting for a spot, I signal and everytning, suddenly a taxi driver(In my country, Panama, they are of the worst kind) comes out of nowhere and takes the spot I was waiting. I yell at him and told him dint yo see that I was waiting??? He said "this country is for people like me who think fast" I said what!!!!???? I have and SUB, so I hit his car really bad, and then told him "Oh yeah this country is for people with SUB's!!!" he just stood there with his mouth open, while I drove away.
OK what you should do is confront the person in the other car and told him that that's very rude, that you were there first waiting, and if he would so nice if he gives you the spot.

Ever seen the movie Fried Green Tomatoes??
There is a scene just like the one you described.
The young girls who snagged the space said, "Face it, lady, we're younger and faster."
The lady who got cut off just kept ramming into their car until it was demolished. When the girls came out to see what was going on, the older lady said, "Face it, girls, I'm older and have more insurance."
I've been tempted to recreate this scene a few times........
What truly cracks me up are the people who will circle and circle to get a close up spot and parking lot stalk anyone who looks like they might be leaving IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE GYM. Come on, you are there to work out but you won't walk an extra 10 yards in the parking lot???

I would go with #4 because numbers 1,2,or 3 would upset ME more than I like being upset. I have a tendency to ride the wave of emotion high and get into trouble, so the best thing for me or anybody else is to let it go. I reason that if it makes the person feel THAT good to bully me out of a parking space, they must have serious, unresolved "No-Me-First!!" issues stemming from preschool.

Just move on and find another spot. They're not going to leave that one, so there's really no point in doing anything at/to the driver.

Nothin you do will make the driver pull out of the spot. It sucks, but some people are a-s-s-h-o-l-e-s. My sister and I once parked in a spot (we saw it first, but this lady reckoned she did) and she started yelling and called my sister a *****. She just made herself look stupid and we didn't get out of the spot.

Be frustrated but adult, after all it's ONLY a parking spot... get a grip. Let the rude doode have it, it's not worth getting high blood pressure over.

Forget it and move on. I usually park further out on the lot anyway. Fewer people beating my car with their doors. So I have to walk a little ways, it doesn't hurt me.

If the guy is really cute, I will give him my best smile and tell him in a nice way that I have been waiting for that slot ahead of him. Then I will tell him that he is the most arrogant and brainless guy i have ever met.

now that's ignorant!!!!
I go with #4
I would probaly overreact and get into all sorts of trouble, so I suggest take ten minutes, travel a bit, and find another place to park.
it might be a bad mistake to confront him, your mad as it is, he's ignorant and dosn't care, and that's a recipie for disaster.
