Car park behaviour

Posted by: Paper Plane on 01 June 2013

Why, when I park my car in a car park that is virtually empty, or otherwise far away from anyone else, when I get back to it, someone has parked right next me!

Why, with all that space, would someone make their life difficult??!?!!?

Because they want to be associated with your really cool car?

As a note, this even happened to me in Saudi. I'd park on the far side, two hundred yards away, in 45°C, and they'd still do it.

Once the blew my wife's ex-workmate up in a car park near al Khobar we left.

So they can whack their doors into the side of your car of course.

If your car has big in-door hifi speakers with huge magnets they may pull and slide other vehicles over to yours. You notice that cars that park close up are never made of fiberglass...

LOL.

It's pretty obvious why people park next to an already parked car.

Rule number one when parking is NEVER leave your car in a location with parking spaces either side of it. It is far more likely to get damaged by a car entering a parking place than leaving it and having it whacked by a door is more likely when somebody is leaving the car than entering.

It's just common sense.
