It's not even having to wait. If I have to walk through a parking lot and see somebody start their car, I just move to the other side of the parking lot. 99.9% of the time, the car backing up won't go so far as to bump into the car on the the opposite side of the lot, so I feel fairly safe and we can all continue on with what we were doing virtually uninterrupted.
