Has anyone else noticed...
that it doesn't matter where you park you car in any given parking lot, some berk will always park right next to you!:mad:
Whenever I use a parking lot, I tend to make sure I park my truck on its own, preferably not near any other vehicle or lone shopping cart - it always amazes me that upon return to said truck, there will, 99% of the time, be someone parked right next to me.:eek: I am not one to be vying for a space close to the door, in fact because of my parking quirk, I tend to end up in the spot furthest from the entrance. I never noticed this sheep like behaviour in the UK - what's going on??????? |

Some trucks in Canada are fitted with 'parking magnets'. These are gadgets which are inbedded into the doors to make vehicles park close to each other so making parking lots look tidier. You obviously have such a gadget.

Another theory I have is that the other person saw you park and took a fancy to you. When you were out of site he/she parked next to your truck in the hope that when you went back to it he/she would be there to chat you up.

I guess I'm catching the lingo too, then - because I read straight past parking lot and shopping cart and didn't bat an eyelid!
