We all do it. Comb the parking lot until we find the closest parking space. Getting a front row parking space is like winning a game of musical chairs, but what is the prize? Sure if it is raining you don't get soaking wet, but do we really need that prime spot everyday? We think nothing about spending a hour walking around the store or mall. Why not walk a little farther to your car?
Roaming the parking lot is a waste of time and gas. The traffic is worse the closer you get and people are everywhere. It is much easier to park in those spaces that are always open. This is a great idea if you are going out to eat because a walk after dinner is good for the digestion. If you go to a strip mall and have to go to several stores, park in a central location and walk to each store instead of moving the car around the parking lot.
So leave those close parking spaces for the elderly and those who really need to park close (yes even at the Wawa). If you have two working legs put them to work, save gas and enjoy the nice weather.
