Yea, I park out in the lot for a couple of reasons.
1. I like to think the old folks out there deserve a break and can have the closer spots ( then I see the people cutting them off to get closer anyway)
2. All the privileged peons just stagger everywhere and dare you to pull out these days so it is difficult to get out of the space that is closer in.
3. The exercise certainly does not hurt me any. I need to walk more.
4. I know some will take offense but it is true..... The people loading up all the kiddies and thier crap tend to fling doors the widest. I watch moms all the time with the door against the car next to them, leaning back against it while jostling Jr. around to strap him in, just gouging the neighboring vehicle. But it's OK because it's for Jr. These crews won't walk that far, Jr. will whine too much.
So I guess to sum it up citing the reasons above, parking further out just keeps me out of jail.
