Parking Problems

I hate parking lots, don’t you? They’re horrible mazes designed to keep you trapped within sight of the store(s), and relief usually only comes after the tow truck drags away your vehicle because of that fender bender that happened when you staring up the next lane.

Do I sound bitter? You bet, but I came up with a solution: park as far away from the building as possible. See, most of the stress and problems crop up when you’re racing other drivers for a spot closest to the store. Bad things happen when you’re stressed.

You also usually have a crappy time getting out of the parking lot because three guys are jockeying for your spot, and usually closest to the store = farthest from the exit. You definitely save time entering and leaving

Finally, parking far away means you get a little exercise. Not a lot, but more than if you had parked beside the wheelchair sign. If you time it, I betcha it only takes a minute to get to the store, without the hustle and bustle.
