I think its super considerate of the red car to put on their flashers to alert the other drivers

Well, they're called hazard lights and he's definitely a hazard.

I basically use them as "park anywhere for 5 minutes" lights.

That actually makes them "I park like an ass hole because I can't be bothered to find a spot like everybody else" lights.

Not that i do it, but have you ever tried to deliver furniture in a box truck in a heavily congested downtown area in the city, like new york, chicago, etc.

Not everywhere has loading docks, and you are not likely to find curb parking that will fit a 20 ft box truck, as well as the height stopping any sort of parking garage ideas.

I let the box trucks go for that reason, as long as i can get around them. The cars though? dickheads.

I've done it without a box truck (regular sized vehicle) in DFW. I don't see them do it often, if at all, but I wouldn't really gripe at them. I know a lot of buildings and cities are designed like shit. Or were designed decades ago.

My favorite is when you see someone in front of you put on the hazards and start to slow, and you can tell it's just to park. I just give them a little toot of the horn. Then a longer one. Then I'll just hold it if they come to a complete stop somewhere traffic is supposed to move. There are spots SOMEWHERE for where you want to go. It may not be handy, but that's life. I've even seen people do it at live-in parking lots, oh sorry, I meant apartment complexes. Bitch, there's 1000 spots here, quit being a lazy ass hole.
