Seems to apply to urinals too. There’s a whole open row, don’t pick the one next to me.
I’m going to the first open one 99% of the time. If you don’t want people next to you, make sure you go all the way to the end.
I park way out, and sometimes park next to a nice looking car thinking “neither of us would door ding the other.”
Shh…nobody tell him.
There’s research on this, it’s a confirmed human behavior. People park and sit etc near others. So good luck changing human nature.
Some people just like to watch the world burn. Had a friend that would park next to people out in BFE. I asked them “why” and he said “no real reason, I just like pissing them off”… not really friends with him anymore.
I have a friend like this too. Except he intentionally slows down when a car comes up tona side street on the passenger side and says “hit us! Gimme that cheque!”
I told him the last time he did that shit “if we EVER het into an accident i am using any money ibreceive to fucking sue your dumbass for putting us in danger.”
Doesn’t do that anymore, but does enough other toxic shit for me to cut him out after this lease is up.
cut him out after this lease is up.
Are you roommates or is this some new rent-a-friend gig economy dystopia I don’t know about?
We’re supposed to be best friends, and we decided to move in together BUUUUUUUT he’s done literally everything he can to prove he’s selfish.
And when he’s called out on it he will Deny he did anything, Deflect and say I’m the one that’s overreacting and then if i stand my ground he whispers an apology at a volume where i cannot hear him even though he’s within arm’s reach.
No lie.
We had a talk where i told him rooming with people is difficult because in every situation I’ve been in the roommates have always been antagonistic and selfish. Told him all the things past roommates have done that crippled the living situation and he he has done all of it. But it’s supposed to be okay as long as he claims “it was a joke” or “we’re bffs I’d never do anything to hurt you.”
Edit: i know you’re making a joke but some of us can’t survive without a roommate to split bills with because not every job pays enough, and they basically laugh when we ask for a raise. I worked at a retail store 2 years ago that gasped when i told them 4-8hrs of work a week isn’t enough for anything.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to joke about your situation.
I’ve had my share of sketchy roomies.That person sounds like a terrible match.
It’s fine. I’ll be forced to figure something out or become homeless. Yay being a millennial!
I have a different theory to “safety in numbers”, “GPS locator” etc
Namely that we live in a simulation and this is how the simulation is trying to preserve computing power. If two people park separately in the wilderness somewhere then twice as much area has to be computed. However if the simulation guides the second and other subsequent vehicles to the same place then there’s only one area that is actively observed and have random encounters with wildlife generated.

I agree 100%. I have suspected the same thing.
Today I am in a large parking lot that is only 5% occupied. This family pulls in and parks away from me but doesn’t shut off their car. Then a minute later they back out of that space and attempt to back in to the spot right next to me. The wife got out of the car to guide the husband into the spot. The entire parking lot is wide open!!! WTF? They didn’t even have the courtesy of parking one over from me. Definitely, it’s the Simulation fucking with me.
