Literally! Anytime I go to Costco i intentionally go to the furthest spots because they're likely to be open and I'm fully capable of and enjoy walking.

A former friend I met up with at a pub parked in a handicapped spot because they couldn't find a spot in less than two blocks. They didn't have a handicap or a disability vehicle tag. I had biked and walked four blocks just because I liked walking. Stopped being friends with them after that for being so ableist and a general asshole. Really tells you a lot about a person.

I purposefully park in the back. I don't get enough walking casually throughout the day. Plus I don't want people to ding my car.

I park far away cause I hate people

My dad's like that. One time he came to visit he didn't like that the closest spot was 2 blocks away, so he drove around until he found a spot 5 or 6 blocks away

I had an ex who would do this shit and I'd always be like "well let me out and I'm gonna walk from here, you can go through your ritual and have fun"

People like wasting tons of time at church too 🤷‍♂️

My mother used to do that, too. I asked her about it, and she said, "You don't know how scary it is for a woman to walk a long distance in a parking lot."

The paradox of laziness.

I hate how much time people waste doing this. Depending on the store, I either park a couple spots from the cart return stations, or enter the back of the lot and park first available. Whatever your goal, wasting time trying to find a spot that meets specific constraints just…. Wastes your time

At my Costco especially

• people fight for garage space but there’s a really long ramp for your cart so it’s effectively much farther
• people fight for the lot by the door, but it small and crowded and choked with both pedestrian and car traffic. I can be parked and in the store before you make one lap
• main parking is long and skinny, but people only go straight up the main aisles. I just go one aisle over and there are more spots closer in and right by cart return

I literally cannot stand this when carbrains do it lol

the only time I do that is when I'm getting stupidly heavy objects, like freezers or furniture.

My favorite is people who slam on the brakes and make everyone behind them wait for them while they park at the first spot they find at a parking garage (whether the current occupant has left or not).

Like, there are stairs and/or an elevator. It would take you less time and effort to park next to those and everyone behind you can park at the same time.
