Yeah, and I hate it! I feel like taking a baseball bat to the car next to me when that happens.

I won't lie, when I go to a parking lot and there are several spaces, 9 times out of 10 I am going to park next to a good looking car, be it a Lex, Audi, Benz or BMW.

Haha! I've had that happen to me all the time! I try to park away from everyone because theres a lot of inconsiderate people out there who don't know how to open their door without smashing into mine. Then when I come out of a store then I'm completely surrounded, its ridiculous.

Same has happened here. I've been backing into my parking spots quite a bit. One time in the university dorms parking lot I was backed into my parking spot, the only car. Then the next day at least 50% of all cars are parked like that. What's next? I wonder how many people will follow if I parallel park in the lots?

Glad this was brought up too! This is one major factor when considering where to park unless I have no choice. I try to park close to the fancier vehicles because you know that they'll open their door carefully, not to damage either vehicle.

And, you're assuming that that is all there is. You don't know, though, how many cars came and parked there while you were gone and didn't see them.

no its behind the gas station, i guess its hard to explain because most costcos are different, i parked there because no one parks there, to the east of that picture is a small parking lot and then the gas station is just south of it.
