Rant: Work Parking Lot

Rant 1: Here's the lot I park in:

For some reason that is beyond my comprehension people decide to skip parking spots in that middle row. Rather than parking next to the car at the end of the row, they skip a spot and park one away from the last car down the line. Today three cars did this, resulting in three parking spots that had a car on both sides.

Then when a bumbling tardy doofus with an extended bed pickup truck like myself comes running into the lot when there's only 5 spots open, i can't easily park in 4 of them because the one is only for compact cars and the other three are really difficult to park in.

Why do these people think it's necessary to skip spots? :obucardheadbang: :obucardheadbang: :obucardheadbang: :obucardheadbang:

Rant 2: The parking lot is about 3 blocks from where I work. When the weather is nice, i enjoy the walk. When it's 0 outside it freaking sucks.

I only complain about stuff that is void of common sense, at least. Well mostly. I think.

I'll always leave a spot in between my car and another if its possible. As careless as people are these days I don't want any door dings because if someone does it you know they're just going to take off.

Would you do this even if you were parking in a private lot that was filled to max capacity? Meaning that it's pretty much guaranteed someone is going to park next to you at some point in the day.
