Public parking lots a daily night mare for me.
I always try to park on the empty side of the lot, preferably under a tree for some shade. Just make sure it doesn't have berries falling down.
This really annoys girls walking in high heels sometimes but if I really like her I'll drop her off and park it by myself. What a guy...

I avoid parking in between cars at all costs.
If this isn't possible I've gone as far as parking in other parking lot for another store! Once there was no choice I had to park in between cars so I only pulled in 3/4's of the way so that our doors didn't meet.
Sometimes I'll park on the street to avoid parking between two cars. Sounds crazy but I'd rather get nudged from the back or front than get a door dent.
Every day I do door inspection and hold my breath.
A guy nearby has a 911 and he's resorted to putting orange cones that he keeps in his trunk. He places one in front and one behind.
Glad to know I'm not the only lunatic.

I usually park out in the middle of nowhere (after I drop off my wife of course) and some joker usually will park right next to me to be funny. Ha ha...jackass.

I did that with the same results until my wife came with the best idea! Valet park it in the shopping centers that have it. If I go to Brooklyn to my daughters place I park it in a parking lot and tip the attendant before I leave to please take care of the car. As far as things done to my cars goes through the gamut of vile and obnoxious things that reminds me why Hammarubi was such a genius when it came to retribution time.

Valet parking is a good idea...however, I live in El Paso man. We have valet parking at two places...the country club and the police impound lot.
