I park alone!!

I park alone,
yeah With nobody else
You know when I park alone
I prefer to be by myself

OK so today I am getting groceries. Every sunday. Same store, same parking spot. Shit I even seem to almost always have a cart handy out here! A few times I have drove buy and there were other people parking their "babies" in my spot, but I never had anyone actually in my spot on Sunday.

Anyways, I thought I would post a picture of my regular sunday grocery store parking spot. My family thinks I am insane. I worry that my wife does not understand that some people just don't give a shit and use your car as a door stop! Aside from the tree .. thank god for no bird shit its a decent spot. It has a partial barrier around my car. Sometimes I douche park right on top of the line. I have done it a few times, but I really that. Its far enough away that I should not have to.

HAHAHA I filled up for $3.75 today. What does it run up north?

BTW I park wayyy out in the back of parking lots too. It stresses me out having to park next to a random car. It just takes that one guy who doesn't care

It does not matter where you park, how far from the entrance you park, how empty the parking lot is when you park, or how bad the weather is...soon enough you will come out of a store into an empty parking lot on a rainy day and see that someone for some reason inconvenienced themselves to bypass all the close empty spots to park right next to you. And their driver's side door will be towards your car. And soon after that people will park next to you all the time regardless of other spots. It is inevitable...and your destiny.

It's the truth, and I have 2 door dings to prove it. I assure you, I always park as far as possible, and it never fails, when I come out someone is parked next to me. It doesn't so much bother me when its another nice car because I assume they are trying to protect their car by parking next to someone that obviously care about their car, but normally its some beater or family car.

When I would take mine to the store I would park far away as well and it never fails I come out of the store & some ass parked right next to me & there are 50 other parking spots closer. I think they do it to be dicks. Next time I'm slashing tires!

this thread reminded me of a greenday song.. boulevard of broken dreams haha guess that shows my age but anyway...
i do the exact same thing as you, i take it a step further when i park at work... i work at a train station, and instead of parking like i normally would far far away from everyone else.. i just decided to park illegally lol check this out.. right beside their kiss and ride pick up area haha



heres a funny story.. my buddy and his dad went to a store and the parking lot was completely empty that day, not one car. his dad drives a ford escape it was brand new at the time 2011, so he parks in the middle of the lot not far but not close to the entrance. so they are just walking to the store and they hear a loud crash noise... some guy pulled into the lot and tried to park next to the escape and ended up crashing right into it. my friend lost it but his dad was just quiet. he walked up and just say why... please just tell me why out of all the spots why beside me... haha

It's not nuts to park away from other people. Paintless dent removal can cost 100 bucks per dent, or more. I know, I just had it done last month, because of the d-bags that live in my complex. Nobody owned up, so it was 100% out of my pocket to remove two.

I try to as well most of the time.

Speaking of which, the wife and I went on the Anheuser Busch brewery tour last weekend. There weren't many cars in the lot as it was Sunday. Parked down on the end by myself. When I left there was a Blazer parked right next to me. Like really.
