Its called short sightedness, they are not looking for potential obstructions, and will keep on trucking until the point of no go anymore.

What you describe doesn't happen a lot as I'm fortunate enough to mostly be able to avoid really heavy traffic parking lots.

But what annoyed the snot out of me, is the way cars turn in way to soon, cutting across the opposing lane. When I was driving a new Porsche 911 from the dealer, had a guy do this, The side of his pick up truck was going to hit the front of the 911. Turning in later, respecting the dividing line, would of avoided this.

Instead, I had to find reverse in a hurry in a car I wasn't familiar with. The guy was looking at me, just kept going slowly on a complete collision course.

One of those wish I'd had a camera moments.

This inability to look ahead, goes beyond driving. Finances, how much of a payment can I afford right now? Never mind an economy slow, what can I max out now? Then things go BUST and they lose it all.

I think the single most frustrating thing I see, one guy starts pulling into a parallel parking spot properly, guy behind shoves his nose in to the same spot. Its never happened to me, but I've seen it multiple times while driving.

Its a double whammy, as it shows both a complete lack of skill, understanding of physics, and not paying attention to the blinker + reverse lights of the stopped car just in front of the spot.
