I never understood this. I always park in the back, and watch and 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, when you park a little further away. If you park too close, the traffic is worse and people will be blocking you to try to get into your own spot. (If you have to park on the side of the road, it's a different story)
YES.
And what is INTENSELY infuriating is when they park like this:
...taking up two or more spaces, in a busy lot, because they don't want their car scratched.
Talk about entitlement.
If you don't want to risk a scratch, PARK NEAR THE BACK where there's lots of space.
I once watched a young girl in a souped-up girly truck
(read, small black pickup with hot pink wipers, license plate frame, etc)
do exactly that, on a busy, rainy Saturday.
Suddenly in a stroke of inspiration,
I remember something I'd seen on Pinterest,
and thought I would replicate it.
When she had gone in, I left her a note, in a plastic sheet-protector
(I had my school stuff with me):
Dear Inbred Skank,
Nice parking job.
It looks like you did that while drunk, blindfolded,
with rabid monkeys clawing at your genitals.
If you don't want your tacky truck to be scratched,
that's understandable...just do everyone a favour and park at the back of the lot,
get off your entitled hot pink whaletail,
and WALK up to the store.
Then elderly people and expectant mothers can have the spots
closer to the store.
Have a great day.
PS: If I ever see you doing this anywhere else,
I swear I will key the crap out of your shit.
