Why do people always seem to park next to you?   Parked in an empty  100+ space parking lot at a sports field to walk the dog I get to the other side of the field and some lady parks right next to my van.  She was still sitting there doing paperwork when I got back to it and gave me a dirty look like I was the one who parked right next to her

I'v had the same happen to me.  I like to park in an open area and when I do and start shopping.  I come out to find cars parked right next to me, but, other open spots untouched.   :facepalm2:  Sounds like you encountered a "karen".

It's like how women travel to the bathroom in packs. It's an unexplained phenomena.  :dunno: :laugh:

Yep. I always park way, way down on the end so I can pull though the space with the yacht or just to get the extra walking in...come back and I'm always surrounded.

I'm the same if I cant pull thru I like to back in so I can make a quick get away when needed

Same here. I park way down, away from everyone else, and yet there is always someone parked next to me when I return. WTF is wrong with them?

Same and now even more so since the UK has eased lockdown. But still keeping social distancing and not visiting friends and family (unless it's for care or medical reasons).

Same here. This weekend is a big holiday in Canada so I'm curious about what the numbers will be after that. We're down to only 1.6% daily increase in positive cases. I'm dreading the spike after the weekend.

I'm slowly working on making our backyard a fun place to hang out since we'll be spending a heck of a lot of time there this summer.

What's happening here is that people are starting to ignore the recommendations. We never had proper lockdown, only the voluntary kind, and now the weather keeps improving and people are bored.

That's what I fear will happen too especially since Provincial park trails are now open. We had restrictions but people are tired of following them.

I've said it before. How can anything bad happen when it's sunny outside?
