I sometimes just want to scream out, "If you'd WALK more than 10 yards maybe you wouldn't need a resolution to get yourself in a shape other than rotund!"
I think it was a local Mercedes dealer who had a whole series of 'people are different here' ads. One had a couple stretching in their driveway and then one asking if the other was ready. Answer, yes and they both enter the car just as a pedestrian is walking by. They back out and park right in front of the gym next door, just as the same pedestrian goes by.
Still not as bad as some of what I see locally. People waiting to get a space right in front of the in door for Home Depot when the very next aisle is empty. So they wait to get a space 3 spaces down in the closest aisle. They save the whole of... LESS THAN NOTHING. They will end up going out the exit door so if one does care about steps it is how close the front of the row you are as long as you are in a row between the 2 doors.
Lazy and stupid.
