I've done that before, once or twice, though not into a parking lot.
Waiting for a space in oncoming traffic to make a left turn. I always wait way back behind the line. Other people get way out in front, in the middle of the intersection. If they are too much of a wuss and don't take the opportunity for the turn, I'll take it for them.
I'm amazed that folks are defending the guy who was two cars behind and turned. It is incredibly dangerous, not to mention a traffic violation (not that most folks care about those :-p). I'm just happy on one had an accident due to his impatience.
If the lead car started to turn at the same time, it is an indication that they had plenty of opening to turn and just weren't paying enough attention in the first place. Judgment for the car behind.
if so... or even if they sit there all morning: Judgment for the car behind to toot their horn.
They have no right of way to proceed ahead of the first car.

It's not legal to sit there all day sipping lattes and adjusting makeup either, but people do it.

And nobody has the right to sit there and take their sweet time if there is plenty of time to turn safely. If the car behind you can make the turn, it's usually an indication that you're taking all day to think about whether or not you're good and ready to make the turn.
The driver two cars back can't make the judgement for the other drivers. How does he know how well the other person's car accelerates? Maybe there is a cake in the passenger seat and they can't gun it.
When I taught at Meredith College I had a great student one summer. She was personable...winsome. I really liked her. That fall she was killed when she turned left across traffic and a truck hit her. Did she not see the truck? Did she think she had enough room? This must have been ten years ago and I still think about her.
