Agree ..... whenever I see people taking up two spots are I always think it is way too conspicuous and, frankly, unfriendly. If they want to take up two spots go way out in the lot.

some business men/women consider time, less walking, making business deals much more important than being **** about parking their car far away. most of them trade in there cars after a year or two because they are capable to do it with the deals they make through business. so yes they consider any car just a tool that will be replaced in no time. for instance, my dad

That is true but a lot of people don't have that luxury and their paychecks are not based on making lucrative business deals. The beneift of being **** is that you get more exercise by walking a little bit further everyday and you help maximize your return when the day comes to sell.

I blame children the most for door dings. I've often watched a parent park a car with an older child who gets out and doesn't pay attention to how far they swing their door open. Then of course we have the people who just don't care about anything at all and have no respect whatsoever...

And don't forget about the supermarket kart runners. I've seen those guys in action. Stacking up mega carts and pushing them to the front of the store nearly side swiping cars and people, trying to control their stack of carts.
