...for a good parking space?

I was just at walmart and saw a guy waiting as this woman was unloading her full cart of groceries, just to get her parking space because it was like the 5th or 6th space in... Unless there is NO parking I do not ever stalk anyone through a parking lot and wait on them. It makes me nervous when someone does that to me!! When my son is with me I will scan the lot for a good spot, but my favorite spot is the one right next to the cart return so I dont have to carry DS very far!   I'm not one to drive up and down the rows for 5 minutes.. I just park and walk. 

How about you?

  • I am the kind of person that will walk a mile if its the fastest and easiest instead of driving around 5 minutes for a good spot.  Walking is a good thing.

  • Drive into parking lot - first (half decent) spot I see - I park!  If I ever think of trying to find a closer spot - I am totally jinxed and there is always a "smart car" or motorcycle hidden in the spot!!  So no more!

  • I don't drive so I don't have the option lol. But my boyfriend will sit and wait for someone, and I hate that. I think its so rude. I understand people doing it like elderly people or pregnant women, but when its me and my boyfriend and our son, I think its dumb. We are more than capable of walking, and he knows it bugs me.

  • Quoting Domzmom2005:

    I usually park farther away because there's less of a chance of people parking next to my car stupidly.

    I hate when people sit there waiting for people as they are unloading their carts, it is seriously rude and they get aggravated when you take too long. I remember someone did that to my mom and just to be mean she loaded up the car, and went back into the store lol!

    LOL That's great!!!!!!!!

  • we always park by the lawn and garden center and go in through those doors (unless its really late and theyre closed). no one EVER parks there (not sure why) so theres always good spots. plus lawn and garden is right by the toys, which we always end up going and looking at anyways, even if we dont by any. so we mid as well.

    Oh i hate that. I see it all the time. They will follow them to the car and sit there and wait 10 minutes while they unload a cart full of groceries. In the mean time there are 20 other car lining up behind that car because they are sitting there waiting and no one can get around. I never wait unless I see some break lights and I know they are fixing to back out. Besides is walking a few extra steps really that bad?

  • if someone if fixing to pull out, then i will wait if they are close. 

    otherwise, most of the time, i'm in a hurry and dont have time to sit and wait for a close spot.
