Yet another thing I don't understand...

[senoritafish]

When entering a rather small parking lot at a busy Trader Joe's, why is there a continuous line of cars circling around the first section of the lot, even though there are no empty spaces? There are several empty spots just a few yards away. I pulled into the first empty spot I saw, about three spaces in from the driveway. Would it hurt you to walk another 20 yards?

On the other hand, there's my dad, who pulls in a driveway, and then stops dead, looking for a space, never mind the five cars behind him, who just about rear-end him coming in themselves.

the sign clearly says COMPACT ONLY yet an suv slips into the spot.

grrrr.

Unfortunately, I've had to do that myself because ALL the spaces were marked "Compact." I do try to be a considerate SUV driver most of the time, though.

Hey, no problem. I get a bit annoyed with the massive Suburbans doing the same. We have a Trooper, which is still really too big for me, but it was the only way to fit three car seats in the back.

I miss our Sportage, it was cute and a lot smaller.
