Why do people wait in a parking lot and hold up everyone else so that they...?

Question

So that they can get a parking spot up close?
They hold up a line behind them and people get so mad and try to go around everyone else.
So, you have to walk a few more steps.
With the majority of the society being so overweight, wouldn't it make sense to walk just a wee bit more for exercise?
I don't get mad, just wondering as to why it is so important to some people to be so close. Of course this does not apply to handicap people or disabled.

Answer 1

preach it girl...just the fact that they are jamming up the line should be enough of a reason to move out of the way but people are self-centered and down right rude sometimes.
by the time it took them to wait they could have parked and walked in.

Answer 2

I don't understand why people go out of their way to get so close. I have literally parked at the end of a row after going around someone waiting for a space, gone into the store, and come out with them still driving around. Get your fat a** out of the car. It’s a parking lot not a marathon or some sort of jungle safari. You **CAN'T** even walk far enough to get drenched in sweat or get a heat stroke. And if you can, you should seek medical attention like right f**king now, because you're about to die.

Answer 3

Because people are getting lazier - and fatter because of it. Ok fairs fair if there is a disability or an injury or something, but for the most part - sheer laziness! Bet your bottom dollar, if you parked further out (which I do) away from the crowd - you'll beat the ones waiting in the door!! We were given legs..

Answer 4

I agree with you, and personally try to park away from other cars, and position my car so that it is easy to get out. I seldom get my car scratched by parking away also. I don't go shopping and car in outdoor parking areas, when it's raining.

The real answer, of course, is that they are just plain LAZY. Without turning politically INcorrect, I won't say who, but check out who does it the most. There is a pattern.

Answer 5

Most of the time, it's laziness.

However, some people do have disabilities, illnesses, etc. that make them want to park up front. My aunt currently has spurs in her feet. I wouldn't blame her for wanting to park up front.

But most of the time---laziness.

Answer 6

I only try and park close at night, I have had an encounter in the parking lot once, scared the crap out of me.

Answer 7

Becuase if it is a hot day I don't want to have a heat stroke walking into the store, or if it is raining I don't want to get all drenched.

Answer 8

Because a lot of people are inconsiderate of others.
