Why do people park right next to me when I park allll the way in the far end of the parking lot?

Yes, this!! Why?? Why oh, why can't they use one of the other six stalls in the bathroom? Nope, they always have to go right next to me. My husband says this must be a woman-only thing. Men respect distance in the bathroom.

Every woman for herself. I am looking for the cleanest stall regardless of proximity to the next closest patron.

People, it's 'placard,' not "plackard." And 'accidentally,' not "accidently." I don't understand how it is that grown women do not know how to spell.

Why on earth should someone not park next to you? As for the restroom, please stop paying attention to what other people are doing in the stalls; it's creepy.

I have no problem "accidentally" sliding my key against their car in this situation.

My favorite is when they park so close to you that there is NO WAY they got out of their car without hitting your door. In that case, they are just asking me to drag my key down their door. Win Win

I feel sorry for people who can only spell a word one way.

Parking too close to you so that you can't get out, I get. Anyone would get annoyed. But that's the only issue. Why in the world would you be annoyed just because someone parked next to you?? Absent parking too close, they park there because they want to.

Is the the inconsiderate hub of the universe, of what?

There are some people who erroneously believe that their car has less chance of being hit by a shopping cart or another car if they are next to another, larger vehicle. It's like trying to hide in the shadow of a large rock or something. Stupid, but I've actually heard one ditz say something like this.

So, a suggestion. If there really are a lot of spaces and you are parking a minivan far out, park on the line so that you are over two spaces. Maybe the ditz who parks next to you, will still park between the lines and leave you half a space of room to get your child into the car seat. And since you are parking out in Timbuktu with empty spaces between, then you won't be taking up a space that someone else needs. Also, if there are those concrete "islands" with trees and whatnot, then park next to one of those but on the line so that you leave half a space between the curb and your car. since there are no other cars around, you can park facing either way to put the door that you need to get to the car seat on the curb side.

We are trying to annoy you, and yes, we are doing it on purpose.

In Miami, people did that to cut the chances of getting their car stolen or broken into in half (my school's parking lot had the highest car theft rate in the whole U.S.). People would actually park next to a similar vehicle too.

I am annoyed by the opposite behavior. When they arrive early for a sold-out movie, why do people always leave space between them and the people on either side, and then refuse to move unless ordered to by the usher when the theater starts to fill up? So the people who arrive a little later are forced to separate or sit in really crappy seats, when if everyone would just move to the center to begin with, both the early-comers and the late-comers would get better seats. (Except for the early-early-comers of course, who get to pick the best seats either way, or the really-late-comers, who will still get the worst seats.)

If you want to sit together, get there earlier. It's first-come, first-served. The people who come early, do so, so that they can get the seats they want. If you can't be bothered to show up until late, don't expect people to move for you.

If you can't slide over one or two seats so that a family can sit together, then you are an asshole.

If your car is towed, come back and tell us about it. Please.

This. If you want to sit together, come early. If not, you may have to split up your party.
