I just think it's hilarious if somebody is so anal they intentionally park as far as possible away from the common folk. So, I park in the spot next to them so they effectively wasted their time...

Nope...I haven't wasted anything as long as you don't ding my car. It's the people that don't really care where I park or where they park and don't care about cars in general that I worry about so I choose to park away from the masses.

Exactly. The point isn't to showcase your car so everyone can see it, it is simply to lessen the risk of getting door dings from people with their heads in their ass.

I've never had a door ding or dinged anyone's door. How often do you think it happens? Do you not park if you can't park without anybody in an adjacent space? Wouldn't you like to have cars on either side to protect from errant carts?

My doors are all fucked up from careless bastards who don't give a shit about other people's things. It isn't fancy but it's mine and it's paid off and the fact that people are inconsiderate pricks just pisses me off.

Yep and that's what I try to avoid...hate when people don't give a fvck about other people's stuff. I also mentioned parking my 99 Jeep away from other cars because of this...it may have been old but it was mine and I like to keep it nice too.

As mentioned by Amberlamps...parking in the end slot next to the landscaping has it's advantages too.

Unfortunately around here it happens alot. They keep making the spaces smaller and smaller so they can cram more cars in smaller lots so I choose to park a bit out from everyone for this very reason. Again...I don't take up two spaces or anything...just park a little further out than the masses usually. I usually look to see which way the carts may roll too.

Yup; grass clippings and weed whacker marks.

Well for me it's usually nights and weekends so they aren't doing that stuff.

During the week I park in a parking deck at work and have a nice car on each side and not mom and her 4 crumb snatchers that just sling the doors open in the stationwagon with the missing hubcap or three.

I have door dings on both sides of my winter beater. they were there before I got the car.

I went to NY state before christmas, and those people know how to eat, but they can't park for shit. The mall parking lot looked like an example of the chaos theory.

QFT - I avoid malls and shit around here for that reason.
