Anyone who waits, at the mall during the holidays, near college campus parking at class change, etc. for a parking space to open up. Person usually circles a specific area like a vulture, sometimes following people walking to their cars.
There were 3 parking vultures perched up on top of the parking garage when I got off the elevator to walk down to my ride. Two of them fought it out as I left.

Person who circles around a parking lot in their vehicle looking and waiting for anyone that is getting into their vehicle to leave so the "vulture" may immediately take the spot. This is usually done because the "vulture" is too lazy to take a spot further away from the entrance. Universities and large chain stores are usually full of parking lot vultures much like a desert is full of actual vultures.
Person 1: I was dropping some things off in my car this morning after I went to the gym and someone was stopped right behind me. Then they peeled out after they saw that I was just dropping things off to my car.
Person 2: Sounds like you were almost a classic victim to a Parking Lot Vulture.
Person 1: Those people are dicks.
Person 2. Yes. Yes they are.

Parking spot vultures may often converge in droves of three cars or more, waiting ten or more minutes to get a spot in a parking lot. Parking spot vultures do not like to walk long distances or find another lot. They hover in the same lot, and even vigilantly look to see when a person is going to get in their car, so they can grab that spot. This happens in mall lots, supermarket lots, and other tight places where parking is a premium.
Wow. I thought I would never make it to the library. As soon as I entered the lot, there was a parking spot vulture in front of me, waiting to grab the last parking spot. I ended up parking on a side street and walking.
