Anyone else have parking lot paranoia?

Crappy hotel parking lot.

Decided it wasn't safe because the van could reverse into the passenger side QP or Door.


So I moved over one lane to give those cars more room to reverse.


All of a sudden, I'm surrounded. Out of all those parking spaces. They park next to me.


Another night, Some guy decides to gangsta park with me. Out of all those parking spaces. Notice no one parking next to the Z.


Luckily no damage, besides some litte kids rubbing their hands all over my car.

haha. I'm like that too. Especially when I'm on a hill and I need room because of the manual transmission.

Parking lots and me dont mix. My wife is always naggin me because i park in the last possible row away from everyone.




They still come park near me or usually wait until i come out and talk to me. Always makes me think they are there to rob me when i see someone just hanging out near my car. Got a little something to prevent that though.

I have game plans for most scenarios...if it had been me,at that hotel,I would've had 2 choices:
1. It's a seedy lookin part (isn't that where it seems all hotels are located?)...so I would want to park directly under my room which means parking next to a car. I would look for an end spot next to a car which looks like it belongs to a loner..like a traveling salesman for instance. Then I would park as close to curb as possible ,hopefully on their passenger side.
2.If that's not possible,then I would go where it would be alone,like the spot far to the right at the back but I would be worried all night of theft.
Yeah,its like that,totally paranoid bout door dings,but I don't have one yet...oh yeah there's also a strategy for birds...avoid power lines and light poles...Fish

everything
I usually park as far away from the entrance as possible.


I always look for an end spot so I can park about 1" away from the end curb so Im far away from arseholes who just swing their doors open without care.

Im not a fan of parking like a ******** at an angle or taking up 2 or 3 spots but some situations warrant it.


ATTENTION!!! If youre one of the a$$holes who parks next to me when there are 54682 other open spots..... GET THE F*CK AWAY FROM MY CAR!!!!

scared ****less. my car was vandalized in a parking lot on my birthday this year. Had a few people eyeing it up to steal it as well, but i think thats a lot harder to do with our chiped keys? either way it would be a hassle to have my window smashed or whatever.
