I coudn't agree more with the first part of your statement, however, I'n a bit confused by the parking at the back of the lot quip. It seems a bit over the top.

You are right about the wear and tear that an average vehicle suffers, however, is it reasonable for a parked car to suffer undue damage from low speed maneuvering or any other parking lot mishaps due to carlessness?

None of us should have to take special precautions in parking our vehicles. People should respect each others property.

Here's an example of people who did not:

So I'm sitting in a restaurant with my car parked just outside the window of the table I'm seated at. A brand new $50k car rolls up into the empty parking spot next to my newly detailed black car, which by the way is not inexpensive. Out jumps four adults all old enough to be my parents. They all kind of step back from their car to admire it because it's really a pretty car. Then one of them saddles over to my car and plants their butt on the hood and continues chatting away. I get up from my table, go outside and kindly ask the nice lady to please not sit on my car; she gives me a dirty look and moves away.

Even though this lady didn't damage my car in any way her careless attitude regarding other's property was appalling.

I think I'll park at the back of the lot from now on.
