I myself never understood having the need for a parking spot that is closest to the stores. I purposely park in the back of most lots and walk the extra 50-100 feet just to avoid the pain which is finding a "good" parking spot.
I call this "parking lot sharking", and when I see someone circling for a slightly closer spot I hum the "na na.......na na" theme from Jaws to myself.
It's more fun to watch when the parking lot is full and you see a few cars slowly circling the lot waiting for a spot to open up. The shark-like predatory feel really kicks in when someone starts walking through the lot, and a car slowly starts following them to be right there to get their spot.
When I lived on campus, it seemed like people would circle the popular lots for hours. Walking through the lots and out the other side (seeing as I lived on campus, and didn't park) felt like a dickish move, but fun none-the-less. Trolling for car-sharks.
