Impossible you say, well then how do you explain that no matter how many empty parking spaces there are in the lot, the next car that arrives will surely park next to your car. I can’t believe that the person driving that car is dumb enough not to want to park where his or her car is not going to get dinged or scratched or even where it is easier to get in and out of the car. So my theory is that the car is actually parked in one of the open spaces not near other cars, but when the driver leaves the car it moves itself to be “near the heard.
It may also be possible that unknown to us mere drivers that there are male and female cars which could also explain this need for close proximity. It’s bad enough when you purposely park your car many rows beyond the herd to protect your investment and come back to it surrounded with friends, but this herding instinct even carries into the “Parking for the Disabled spaces. How else can you explain that the people getting into the car no way appear to be disabled, not old, not using assistance not even slow. Clearly they didn’t park their car in that space simply because they had the disabled sticker applicable to someone not in the car at the time.
It has to be that herding again. Funny thing though, my car never moves from where I park it.
