Giving way to drivers exiting lot when stopped

When traffic has come to a stop, should you let other drivers waiting to exit a parking lot on your right into the road?

I meant to let only one driver on since traffic started moving again, and I didn't start moving fast enough I guess so two more drivers ended up merging in anyway, upsetting the driver behind me.

Should I have been more aggressive moving up once the first driver merged? Or was I unlucky or the driver behind me was getting upset over normal etiquette?

Asking also as a sanity check because another driver got upset at me for slowly pulling out of an alley (it's basically making a blind turn into a small one way street, so I emerged very slowly and stopped when I heard a car approaching). Then they proceeded to get upset again when I stopped at a stop sign.

The common denominator is me in these situations, and I'm not sure if I'm just failing to pick up the right behavior or what. Any tips or input would be appreciated. Thanks!

Reverse parking into bay after 45 degrees

Hey guys ive almost mastered this, i can get the angle right pull next to bay going 45 when i see corner of bay and fixing it. The thing thats bothering me id even when i do these things when i reverse and try to go into the bay it always tends to miss very badly and its probably because of how fast or slow im turning the wheel. Ive been experimenting and still cant get it, what should i do? I dont think i have a good grasp on how to smoothly turn into the bay because i see its parallel to bay in one mirror but still misses and mirrors are set up correctly im assuming.
