When you obsess about finding a 'safe' spot in a public parking lot, what do you find?

Actually, there's this lot in Jersey City right next to Exchange Place & the ferry to WFC
The first time I parked there, I saw 2 black S8s, a TT and several A4s. Problem is: they park your car, which always upsets me (getting back to that 'obsessing' thing) ;-)

What I find... After returning to a back corner spot where I pulled as close to a curb or outside...
...as possible, is that some big old, beat up Buick had pulled up thinking, "hmmmm, look at this nice big spot next to this 'yuppie car', why don't I just park here, oooops, my big *** car is a little close to it, oh well, I think I can get my door open and get out."
Man, this irks me.

My gf hates it when I park far...
...she never lets up.
I always get the "I don't think this is far enough. There's still a car w/in a 5 spot radius" or something sarcastic along those lines.
God bless her.

I play both sides of that game! ;-)
In the S4, I try to pick a safe, but non-obvious, spot. I do not park sideways, or in a empty area.
On the other hand, when driving my POS '84 Ford F150 pick-up (long bed), I try to park as close as possible to cars that park sideways, take two spaces, or park off to themselves, obviously to defend thier finish! Yes, it's evil, but really, I protect them, as I am careful NOT to touch thier car in any way, and thereby shield them from other cars. But I'm sure I scare the **** out of them sometimes, my truck is quite a sight!
