What the hell with delivery trucks parking too close to Rogue?

Ok I'm still stuck in my bad routine of parking far from other cars, WHEN I should be following my own freaking advice about following the normal balance in my universe.

I was originally parked amongst the general car population, but then I saw a truck nearby and I had a flashback about a past experience when a truck tapped my front bumper.

Anyways, me playing with fire and not just parking my Rogue and being done with it.

My paranoid and stupid worrying pin-head of a person HAD to drive in a clear area of the parking lot about 3 dozen spaces deep where there was no vehicles surrounding my Rogue.

I go into a BIG LOT for 10 mintues then went to the parking lot.

Well i couldn't see my nissan rogue BECAUSE it was next to a Big a** delivery truck. (the 13 ft high 25ft long type with the payload ramp at the back open)

I couldn't even freaking open my door! Picture that people. How close you have to get to a nissan rogue and not being able to open your door because a huge delivery truck was next too you. Thank GOD he had no co-working passenger.

I was about to move it if not for the ramp. It had the keys in there. In my heart I wanted to hide the keys or fling them across the parking lot, but thinking what comes around goes around. I just wrote a note telling the driver not to park to close to a car so people can enter their vehicle.

How come there is no considerate people in the world? There was like 3-5 spaces on the left and 20 spaces to the right of my rogue.

Da*n major A-hole i think.

Just had to vent to the Rogue family in here.

Big picture its nothing, Just I NEED to just park naturally as in when it comes natural. Oh a SPOT , just grab it.

Too many close calls, when I think too much and stare at parking lot. THINGS happen folks. Like when I saw a lady and her kids piling into their car next to my Rogue. I went to the parking lot to leave but I had to wait on the lady. She admonish my presense, then when I tried to get into my rogue she realized I was parked there. Thank god her kids were careful when opening their doors.

She said sorry for making me wait. But I said it was okay and I know how it is to have kids.

Sometimes parking in a clear area with no vehicles gives a BIG HUGE truck a reaon to park next to you.

So parking far from other cars or alone. You're screwed either way.

Lol..I hear ya Casper. I ALWAYS park as far and remote away as possible just so ppl don't park by me and open their doors in my car. But it never fails, you always get some A**hole who parks right beside you when there's 100 other free parking spots.

I run into the issue here at home in my parking lot all the time too at my Apt building. I purposely take the furthest spot away, so I only get 1 person beside me and it never fails, they always park as close to my vehicle as they can. God help me if I ever find a mark from them opening their door into my car. It amazes me how inconsiderate people can be.

I always avoid parking under or near trees if possible.

This morning I washed my Rogue and vacuumed it.

No more than 5 minutes after I dried the last bit of water off it a damned bird craps on the hood. Obviously a well fed one. Grrrrrr.

At work I park in the first spot next to the handicapped parking slot. The slot on my right is usually occupied by a heavy set co-worker in a small car who insists on parking as close as possible. So far no dents but it is just a matter of time.
