I see a spot, I pull the car into it and walk. I really cannot
believe my eyes sometimes, watching people wait and wait
for someone to back out of a parking spot when there is an
open one 2 places over.

Leaving a store a few days ago I actually noticed a woman
drive into the parking lot and park, say, 10 spaces from the
first filled spot. She got out and briskly walked to the store.
It was such a rare sight, it caught my eye. Get some
exercise on the way to the store? What a concept!
