Same. In that circumstance I will take my Polo and avoid the anxiety.

I have a mental library of all the best parking spaces in order of suitability for most of the places I frequent with the Zed. . .
Does that mean I have HAPD Hyper Active Parking Disorder
It's catching - my wife has it when she's in the Zed too . . .must be the Zed's infectious?
I don't think it's the Zed that's infectious, It's the way right thinking people should treat their and other people's property, trouble is the world is full of people who don't care!!
A fella I used to work with (Also afflicted),was at Whitby a couple of years back, looking for the safest place to park in the car park by the harbour. He found a spot tucked right up in a corner (Perfect), and some fella pulled up alongside in an old pickup, so he moved before he had a chance to open a door, found another spot and the fella in the pickup truck followed him!.
This went on for about five minutes, until Bill lost his temper, got out of his car and was all revved up to tell this other fella to p**s off. The fella in the pickup rolled down his window and said "I didn't think you were going to stop - My fishing trip has been cancelled do you want my all day parking ticket" :?
Since I came out of Asda at 9pm to find a young girl trying to park in the empty car park by using my car to line up against 100m from the closest shop with no other cars around and at least 200 free spaces, I deliberately park slanted across the parking bay (front left on the left line, rear right on the right line). My thought is that if somebody does park in the next bay, they won't be able to get their door/doors as close if they park straight.
My Mrs doesn't understand parking wars and thinks I have lost the ability to park

The good news after years of parking with MrsCJ in the car she now so gets it that she parks on the next floor up in multi storey, finds wide slots, walks the extra 50m, etc.
Great as she has to drive and both our cars and nice and kept pristine by both of us

I'm reasonably paranoid - usually check both flanks of the car, before and after parking, and will take a little time to find a space that isn't next to a Fat Family MPV or The Ford Granada That Time Forgot.
But... it survived two years of occasional car park visits just to get the bonnet and front wing scratched and dented in what I had previously considered to be quite "safe" nose-to-tail parking outside my flat!
So not worth worrying about too much... just drive it.

All sounds perfectly normal to me.
Always park in the corner of the lot. If no good spaces open, go home.
Amazing how people will spend hundreds of dollar per month for a gym membership so they can walk on a treadmill, but are afraid of walking a few extra steps in a parking lot....
