what i've been doing lately is finding the nicest car in the lot and parking beside it because you know they aren't going to be careless with their car. or there's parking beside a curb... that way at least one side of my car is "protected".
however, honestly... the worst parking job in the world doesn't bug me as bad as someone leaving their shopping cart in the middle of the lot.
seriously... wtf? i can't think of anything more inconsiderate than someone leaving a shopping cart someplace that is "convenient for them" but obviously in the way of everyone else. okay, i better stop talking about this before i get really pissed.
have a nice day.
