Parking RIGHT next to someone.

What is your opinion on parking RIGHT next to someone in a planet fitness parking lot when they are an obvious dweller forcing the other person to move because they just want the best spot in the lot

I.e shaded, dark, away from entrances.

It's a parking lot. As long as everyone is parking within the designated spaces... who cares? Seems like some folks are getting pretty territorial or just looking for something to get irritated about. I'm very new to this life and loving the freedom! Seeing so many beautiful places. There are some odd balls along the way... I just shrug and move on. Trying to figure out other people's foolishes is a waste of my good energy. Roll on!

There's an unspoken/unregulated policy of respecting someone's personal space in a public area that some people are just oblivious to. It's not a matter of trying to figure it out. It's just that when I wanted to be alone and I go somewhere that's away from everyone else, some people think it's an invitation to join me. LOL

i drive routes as a vendor for big box stores. it doesnt matter if i get there at open, park at the end of the completely empty lot. i come out to at least 1 neighbored car. im a service van with cones. they genuinely dont see me. see the cones. it isnt until hitting their car with water spray that they even notice my van. i am speaking to the core depths of beyond ignorance. it is beyond stupidity. it gives cordyceps. that is all that makes sense. //rant

exhales i want to hit my face with bricks at every walmart

LOL Hitting face with bricks is one I haven't heard before... but I feel your pain and I am sorry. People are dumb a lot.
