I have people follow me to my car at the grocery store when they notice I’m in a good spot (there are other, less desirable spots available, mind you). I take my sweet time loading my bags make sure nothing will tip over in transit. And during the time I’m loading, sometimes I decide I need something from the adjacent liquor store.
I’ve never understood why people sit and wait for spots when there’s spots available. Drive around. If someone is pulling out, sure, but don’t watch people load their shit up.
Yeah and they all work at my company. I swear to God there’s people who put more time and effort into avoiding doing work than it would be to just do the work. The worst is when they get angry at me for how long it takes for me to do their job.
Anyway I probably should get back to searching for another job…
Whenever someone is waiting for me to unload my groceries and move, I suddenly have the urge to check my messages and catch up on some blah blah blah. Doesn’t really matter what.
The moment the person moves on, I remember what I was doing. Doesn’t matter if they immediately do a u turn and snag it, that’s not the point.
I got two. I park where there’s three open spots together to avoid altogether even the small possibility of a door making contact with an adjacent vehicle. I feel you though, I do also like to get them off the blacktop sooner rather than later.
ya, I remembered when my kid was 1 1/2 and wanted to walk everywhere. He almost got ran over by some dipshit in a BMW. So, I always try and park closer to the building.
At the Costco by me following a person to their car is the only way to get a spot… The parking lot legitimately fills completely, unless you’re willing to park very far away where there aren’t even cart returns…
And that’s an issue with that Costco and that sucks, I’ve certainly been to places where there’s just too much traffic that the lot cannot support it. My local grocery store just isn’t like this. If you move down the aisle you’ll find spots, just 100 feet more of a walk.
Yeah, I don’t sit and block traffic because I’m too lazy to find another spot. “Do unto others,” you know? I don’t like being made to move faster because you just need this spot.
EDIT: And hold up, you’ll move your car and load it? So you will leave your groceries just in a cart, go and move your car to some further spot, and load it there? How is that at all the right thing to do? Where are you moving your car to, an empty spot? Like, one the person who’s sitting there waiting could’ve parked their car?
Yeah, maybe I don’t understand what you mean on the second point. But aisle widths where I’m from run 20-24 feet for two-way traffic, and while, sure, you can fit three side by side, you’re getting tight, and the lot is full of folks who generally don’t understand the size of their vehicle and so you get a bottleneck. I just think waiting for a spot is rude, and you apparently feel differently, and that’s fine. If it means anything, I’m not downvoting you, I think we’re having a discussion, one that I started in particular, and I’m always down to talk about things that are ultimately pretty meaningless, because it’s much better than talking about things that matter.

I’ve noticed people who are constantly trying to ‘cheat’ their way in life end up falling behind those who just do things the normal way.

I’ve noticed the opposite unfortunately
Oh you nailed it. Every millionaire worked hard and earned it. None of them just cheat or work the system. There’s so much wisdom in this comment
I don’t know if there are just a bunch of bootlickers out today, or are they all autistic from getting the jab and don’t understand sarcasm.
Can’t wait until they do an IQ test of people who trust vaccines vs those that don’t 😅

The point is I’m petty and you can do a lap.
Well, some people are lazy, but some people like me have a kid that would benefit from a closer spot.

Yeah, parking lots are worse than roads sometimes. And kids also lack in the self preservation department sometimes too.

It’s rude because it blocks traffic.

While you spend 20 minutes doing that, I’ll be driving home
Glad to see this downvoted.
