I love it when people circle the lot at the Gym trying to get a close parking spot.... so they don't have to walk so far to the treadmill. bonc.

Or you just can walk there and go straight in.

#1 solution for people who can't afford cars, like myself. Yay.

Don't wait where the employees park. :headshake

"How to hover - step two" is a misuse of statistics.

As Werner Von Braun said, crash programs are based on the principle that if you get nine women pregnant, you get a baby a month for nine months. :headshake

Suppose the mall opens at 8am. You're there at ten past eight, watching 25 spaces. Everyone there has only just gone in and won't be back for at least an hour.

Don't hover. Park further away and walk, ya lazy slugs. It'll do you good. Unless you have some medical issue like knee problems or something. And the rest of us should park in the outer bays so the mobility-limited (but not actually disabled) can use the mid-range bays.

I always park in the no. 2 area on the map. Always parking, never a hassle.

Went to the post office today, and there was a hearse parked in the handicapped space.
I figured it was OK, after all the guy's handicap was that he was dead.

And of course, as the Texan dwellars will confirm, the best parking spot is not always the one nearest the doors. Shade, baby, shade.

Amen to that! You can often see a little cluster of cars parked under the one tree in the lot, 40 feet away from the entrance.

This.

It is an interesting approach to the puzzle, though.

Can we go back to the getting women pregnant part?

The people who can't park more than five feet away are the same people who are laying across their shopping cart like they have no energy to walk upright, or using the scooters.

Not talking about the physically challenged, talking about the lazy morons.

Was that mean?

ZenGum 03-16-2012 09:16 AM

Footfootfoot, I don't think you should get nine women pregnant. You'd only have four inches for each of them.
