I know it's and old thread but I remembered a commercial from years ago that pretty much sums up this thread but for the life of me, I couldn't remember which commercial it was for. Well, while watching Nascar practice at Charlotte Motor Speedway, they aired the commercial. 'Till this day, this commercial still makes me laugh and go "yup, it never fails."
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

I was walking towards my car which was parked far away and surrounded by empty parking spots when I watch this SUV coming towards me make a sudden and direct turn to park right next to my car. When I asked why she parked right up on my car when there are so many empty spots with plenty of room -- she got indignant and started yelling at me. I figure its a combo of a herding instinct and a moronic attraction to shiny objects.

I've always been weary parking at the Mall , grocery or whatnot and would often park a little further away from everyone else. Thus far I have never come back to my car with another right next to it ................. guess folks around my way are just to darn lazy and that extra 20 or 30 yards is just too much for them

For me it's just another good way to burn a little bit more calories and keep my ummmmmm " nice " figure

I try to park at a middle distance, not so far as to appear arrogant and not so close that I'm in the door-banger zone. I'd really like to park all the way out just for the exercise. Plus, driving a "nice" car seems to attract panhandlers, so I don't want my car in a too isolated spot.

I hate bumping old threads but this was too much to resist. I don't drive a 3IS yet but this happened to me this week. I drive the Civic. This is an almost empty underground parking at my local grocery store and I parked at the very end, between a concrete pillar (left) and a concrete wall (right). You can clearly see on the first 2 pics I was parked in the MIDDLE of the two spots, on the yellow line. Honestly I think it was done on purpose. I can't believe someone could be dumb like this.
