Im guilty of moving around the parking lot trying to find a good spot. Most of the time I give up and park where ever there is a spot.

My hubby and I parked the car and at the same time a car comes and gets a spot that was four places closer then we had. No big deal. Good for them! The car next to them backed out and left, so that car backed out and took that spot. Ummm are you kidding me? That one spot closer is going to make that big of a difference? Really?

hahaha...i hate that. i will browse the parking lot once to see what my choices are but if i don't find something close i figure it's just not meant to be. i figure the time it takes waiting on a spot i could already be in and on the way out again. my mom on the other hand will park a million miles away because she doesn't want people scratching up her car.

I always park in the first spot I come across, I figure with the time I would spend perusing for a closer spot I am already in the store
Thanks for this!

Im with you guys. Just funny seeing someone pull out of their spot to get the one right next to it took the cake.
Thanks for this!

People in parking lots sometimes drive me crazy, backing and filling, making sure they get in the spot "just right". My husband always drives close first, where there are rarely spots and I just want to get in any old spot and into the store/place :-) We have a big SUV that is new to us and larger than the last car we had and my husband doesn't park as well as before and I feel embarrassed when we come out of wherever and find he is over/too close to the line, etc. I like a "clear" spot to park, further away, so I don't feel like it matters.

I am one of those people with MS who can't be sick because I look so good. I always have cramping and stiffness in my legs and it often hurts to walk. I try not to park in the handicapped spaces because I know I need to keep walking and I alway think there may be someone else who needs the space worse than I.

I am also a person who may move the car over one space just to make things a little easier on myself. Anyone watching me do such a thing would probably think as you do and wonder why I am being so lazy. Believe me, there is a reason. Just because you do not recognize it readily does not mean it is not valid.

Before you make a comment, walk a mile in my shoes.
Thanks for this!

I'm with you on the having MS, and look too good to have such an illness.

That said, OP, that would have been a head scratcher for myself.

I choose walking further. Instead of sticking my car into the vehicle mosh pit. I've been backed into before, er, um, in a vehicle and backed into...
