"I Want that Parking Spot Close to the Door" - But At the Gym??

That does a bit strange --- but we see strange things every day!

Shar, people are lazy like that. At Christmas, people will spend half an hour looking for a spot 5 minutes closer to the mall entrance.

Shar, that driver was rude.  He has no right to rush you just because you're leaving.  Everyone in the lot is leaving at some point.  Does that make it OK to decide when the spot should be vacated? 

I might have been tempted to walk away from my car and head back towards the gym as if I had forgotten something.   Impatience will only shorten your life :-)

Shar, I've seen that, too, and think it's funny.  You're at the gym, geez, a few extra steps to walk is good for ya!

Pure lazy! I park the FURTHEST parking space no matter where I'm at for the nice little walk with my kids plus I park to keep my vehicle from getting dents:)

Things like that make you scratch your head.  I have a friend that will hop on his riding lawn mower to mow his .25 acre yard, then spend the next hour on a treadmill.

Just give him a friendly smile and wave, and go back to reading your mail.

Shar- come to South Florida, it happens in every parking lot.  My husband and I walk every morning at the Green Cay Wetlands.  There's a boardwalk and it's a great place for walkers.  You're there to walk, right? Well, same thing happens here.  People will park as close as they can or even in the handicapped spots (when clearly they're not!)  And, yes, I've had people wait and hold everyone else up just trying to get a spot closer to the door, when there are spots just 3 of 4 cars further away.  I think it's something like a game "Whoever gets closer wins!"  Oh yes, we're in sunny Florida.  No cold weather here!

I guess that would be like not wanting to get rained on when you are swimming?

Rude...he was very rude.  He must have been watching since you exited the building otherwise how would he know you were leaving and hadn't just arrived.  I agree with Cindy...walking away from the car would have been something I would have considered doing.

Amazing!  Is it just me, or are manners and common courtesy dwindling?  This guy would probably blow his stack if someone honked at him to get him to move!
