I never understood this. I always park in the back, and watch laugh at the cars that act like vultures, that keep circling areas closer to the entrance of a store. I zoom around them, park where I am 5 spaces away from a car, and am in the store before they even park. I always think, "You guys are idiots." Especially when they're going to be walking well over a mile in that store, an extra 50 feet of walking in the parking lot isn't going to kill you! It's so much easier to park, and it's so much easier to get out. If you park so close, the traffic is worse and people will be blocking you to try to get into your own spot.
There was this one woman who we used to see parking at the train station every morning. She would just sling her car into this parking space any old how and get out, leaving the car straddling over into the next parking space.
Anyway she got a fine in the end and it soon stopped. yay.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
