I always park far away from everybody too. About a year ago I came out to an empty parking lot and what was parked right next to me? I huge dump truck! My wife thought it was hilarious, I did not.

Maybe he was just checking out your car. What better way to get a closer look than to park next to it and do a quick circle around before heading into the store. Or maybe he thought your Z was lonely and needed a friend.

I would never have park right on the middle of the parking lot.

SophiaZ · 01-19-2010, 07:42 PM

Sh*t, atleast ur car's is fine! I got a door ding about half the size of a dime under my door handle. Bought touch up paint and didn't do a PERFECT job but the silver body is covered

It's getting a paint job in March anyways but after that..I WILL be parking SOOO FAR AWAY! Accidents happen..it's only a car.

this is like when you go to the restroom and there are plenty of unused urinal stalls, you don't use the one next to the only other guy there

My wife and I were out for dinner on Saturday night (we took our Chrysler 300). when we woke up in the morning, we noticed the entire passenger side of the car had been keyed from headlight to tail light...now that's an a**hole.
just be grateful all they did was park close.

what i dont understand is why can't he park a couple of spots next to me and still "admire" the car? why does he have to park just next to me? like some one said, its just like when a guy comes in and uses the urinal just next to u and rub shoulders with u when all the other urinals are vacant. and yes, if you look closely the passenger door was partially blocked off. it would not have been possible to open it up completely. ultimately that was irrelevant since i had no passengers with me, but still.

also, if you read my original post, i stated that another pharmacist that works there (she works dayshift so the parking lot is usually much worse, almost completely full) also had a car put a small dent in the rear hatch of her brand new subaru impreza. that's exactly why i get ticked off when people park beside my car. it has nothing to do with status or ego or whatever. it has everything to do with the morons who pull up and then kick their doors open even if it hits and scratches the car beside them. and its impossible to recognize such morons. some are men, some are women. old and young. some drive rustbuckets, others drive expensive cars. that's why i get paranoid when ANY car parks beside me. the fact that this guy had a bazillion other spots to park just makes it more irritating. also keep in mind this is my first ever brand new car that i bought, so that makes me even more OCD about it.

To be fair to the driver of the explorer, there would have been no issue with opening the passenger's door if you were parked in the center of your space (like the explorer).

TX_370 · 01-20-2010, 07:23 AM

I hate when people do that...THERE'S 100 DIFFERENT SPOTS AVAILABLE AND YOU PARK RIGHT NEXT TO ME!!!! WTF!!!!!

but

@ this

Well here's my take on it...

If you are parked all the way out in BFE, and someone just happens to park right next to you, but they have done a masterful job of parking IN THE CENTER OF THEIR SPACE, they are doing you a favor by preventing someone who doesn't know how to park from parking in that space and risking damage to your car!

Everyone should lighten up about it.
