You also want to avoid parking next to my sister....her theory is this......if you park too close to her so that she can't get in the driver's door, you'd better have 2 spare tires. She pull her first aid gear from her trunk & pull of a heavy gauge cardiac needle.....it goes thru rubber like a hot knife thru warm butter!

Really though, instead of driving around I just grab a spot on the outter areas of the parking lot that hold numerous empty spots. It never fails, I drive in, park a ways away, and as I enter the store I see the same car still looking for a spot and this same guy entered the lot the same time as I.
Wife gets pissed, she always seems to find an emptry spot 20 feet closer that the spot I am in. I hate tuna can parking. I hate door dings.
Another parking note, last summer I was parked outside a retail strip mall. I was actually parked in the row right in front of the building. But there were numerous spots behind me in rows 2 and beyond.
It was hot out, I was checking work voicemail with one foot out the door on the ground with my driver's side door open.
A car pulls up, honks cause my door is open and they want the ajacent spot. Yet there is a spot right behind for he to back in. But he had to have that spot and my open door needing to be closed was the gate to getting in.
In open spaces like that it pisses me off when people park so close to me that I cannot open my doors.

yet another of my pet peeves... I park in a half empty lot, all the way on the other side not a car around. I emerge from the store and some 1985 POS parked right next to me.
That ALWAYS happens to me!! [curse]

Have you noticed that if you start a new row the next guy pulls right in next to you within door ding distance?
