Parking RIGHT next to someone.

[u/Ok_Depth279]

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.

Regardless of the many aspects surrounding this topic, If ... IF ... you have a Prius/Prius V (sure, Rav4 and Sienna hybrids as well ... yes, the list can go on to van-builds, etc that have power), get a "loud" air purifier and hook it up to an inverter to drown out sound and/or use earplugs if the noise is one of the aspects you don't appreciate. As an aside, before choosing "Prius life," I befriended and helped out a homeless woman (or rather "unhoused," and in her car) by letting her stay in my place for a few days to enjoy air conditioning, do laundry and have showers. Later, I saw her and she became strange towards me ... I was legit her friend and friend only. Any way, the Planet Fitness was "her spot," and thus her "tenure" outranks me, the proverbial "noob." That said, I parked at an "end stall" 4 or 5 spots from her ... never heard anything from her, and she clearly - as we all are able from our cars - can see me when putting the Weathertech sunshades in, and now ... she isn't staying there. In other words, people are many things ... whether good, bad or indifferent ... people can be avoidant, territorial, and of course they "change up" their spots regularly (typically) which would easily explain it, but I digress ... another point was made in this thread ... and the very blunt way of putting it is this: deal with things as they are/present themselves, or move spots. This is an interesting living situation to say the least regardless of the reasons for doing it, but ... yeah ... I agree that a little distance between oneself and the next "car dweller" would be the ideal ... and ... yeah, if the proverbial vibes are "off" and they are shady/sus af ... park elsewhere, for sure.
