My wife was 80% out of the stall but still backing up. Someone came around the corner a bit fast (too fast to deal with a car backing out at least) and crunched into my wife's car. Without getting a lawyer and fighting the adjusters, the insurance companies were sticking to their guns and holding my wife 100% liable.
I was told by the lower level lackeys that it was the rule. Too bad. I tried asking for her name and contact info. She asked what for. I told her their was a scratch on my front bumper and I was going to drive into the back end of the first person I could find leaving a parking stall and I planned to call her as a witness if necessary to testify to the inflexibility of this rule. Then she put me on hold and got her supervisor.
