Outage parking and the parking lot sharks

(1/3) > >>

darkmatter:
When parking close in is at a premium during outages, have you ever heard the theme from "Jaws" in your head as you walk out to your car with your keys in your hand. Due to the circling cars like sharks following you, ready to pounce on the empty parking space as you leave?
Solution 1. Walk down an aisle with a car following you, then quickly skip over to the next aisle where you're parked.
Solution 2. Get in your car and wait ten minutes before starting up and leaving----that gets their blood boiling.

Your Solution?

As a house mouse I usually choose option A. If they want to give me a rideto my car, I'll make sure they get my space, if they troll me at idle speed, I'll ensure someone else gets it. Remember this courtesy as I am not the only one that uses this aproach

Chimera:
Dang!  I never to get to park close enough to worry about that.  They take one look at my back pack and hiking shoes and they realize I'm on my way to the back 40.

RDTroja:
Some people just have too many things to worry about. Do you really spend time thinking of ways to annoy people that have nothing better to do with their time than camp out looking for a parking spot a few feet closer to the gate? Why do you even waste time thinking about who has 'your' parking place after you leave? Someone needs a little priority adjustment.

stormgoalie:
Heck I usually park at the farthest reaches of the lot anyway.  Quick and easy to find a spot when I arrive and usually closest to the exit points from the lot so easy out too.  Have a friend who is a parking lot shark, make it a point to wave at him as he circles the lot looking for a primo spot, and then harass him when he is 5-10 minutes late because he couldnt get a spot close and ended up parking out by me anyway.  ;D
