No Parking
I love a good parking spot as much as the next guy. When I luck out on a front row spot I silently have a little personal celebration. HOWEVER, I will not circle the parking lot and refuse to park in anything further than 3 spots from the store. Unfortunately, some of you out there will. I cannot stand when I see people do that! Is it really going to kill you to park out a little farther and, I dunno, perhaps get some exercise? I especially love when people will see someone headed to their car and completely stop the flow of traffic through the parking lot to stop and wait on that spot. If it is me that you see coming out of the store and you think you are going to sit and wait on my spot…think again bucko. I will make you miserable for even attempting it.
I will:
- Take my time finding my keys and unlocking the trunk
- Load my bags one by one
- Take my time returning the buggy
- Fidget with the radio, seat-belt, seat position, air conditioner, etc.
- Mess around with the stuff in the glove box
- Go and get the Cheetos I just loaded in the trunk and sit and munch on them for awhile
- Start to back out of the spot
- Pull back in and head back into the store because I conveniently “forgot something” te he he
People will sit there and wait through all of this! Don’t you realize that by that time you could have already parked elsewhere, walked your fat ass the extra few feet into the store, and be shopping by now? People amaze me.

I’ll do the exact opposite. If the parking lot is really packed I’ll walk deliberately back to my car until someone notices and follows me because I know that when I begin to pull my car out of my parking space I’m going to become someone’s idol, if only for a moment. I enjoy the temporary celebrity.

think again bucko…LMAO! Bucko! Oddly enough I never park up front, I like the end, so I can back up w/o having to be alert and not worry about some trying to look at the bodies in my trunk.

OMG, so true! So many times you see some douchelick circling the lot, while you’ve managed to find a spot and walk the extra 30 yards to the store. And you must ALWAYS pay homage to the Parking Fairy whenever she gifts you with a sweet spot up front!

The most ridiculous experience that I had was a couple of years ago when I was diving Veteran’s Park on the 4th of July. I showed up pretty early, geared up and walked down to the beach for a 45 minute SCUBA dive.
When I finished, the parking lot was packed. So here I am, in full SCUBA gear, dripping wet and walking to my car.
This asshole pulls up and asks, “Are you leaving?”
WTF? Yes, eventually, but holy crap, I need to dry off, change and put my gear away.
That A-hole idled nearby for 20 minutes while I was getting ready to leave.

I think the worst is at the gym… I seriously hate watching everyone vye for the closest spots! I mean come on, you are going to the gym to WORK OUT, the extra 4 spaces you are going to walk really isn’t going to kill you!

what happened? Ya run out of stuff to bitch about? Where ya’ll been? dayummm… i miss you 2!

Haha, I usually park under a tree farther away to avoid this dilemma. Its hot out here in Arizona, but c’mon people, its not too terrible to walk an extra 10 feet.

lol now that’s something to bitch about!
By the way, I always ride a bike when i go to the store.. it’s easy to park, pollution-free, and most manoeuvrable
but hey i always manage to park it in front of someone’s car! *evil

[…] that I continually claim here, PPC will put you into the red. I want to add a quick rant from LetsBitch.com on parking lots, just because it had me […]

You are SO right! But sometimes when you park really far, you end up losing your direction, and you end up losing your car. It happened on Seinfeld!

Hahaha, I love your blog!

I completely agree with you and I do the same thing when I see someone waiting for my parking spot. Although, I do not fidget or pretend to look for something. I just crank up my caddy, turn the a/c on and then sit. I love it when this pisses them off. It cracks me up.
Once, a guy got out of his car and asked me to move. He was slightly rude about it so I told him to kiss my ass. Lol.

I am so with you. I absolutely hate that, and I do the EXACT same things you do. My kids think its funny, but all the while I’m taking my old sweet time I am explaining to them about how lazy society has gotten, and that its pathetic to me that people need to do that. I also hardly EVER walk down the correct aisle just so that I have to cut across an aisle or two and if anyone was following me - haha. I cannot tell you how many revved engines I’ve gotten after that.
Seriously - lazy people suck!
