Why You Should Park Further Away
Wanna know what you can do rather than park in the handicapped space you want to park in so you can be closer to the entrance?1Sheesh, not only do you want to illegally park in a disabled parking space but you’re also driving while reading this on your mobile device?!?! Please, somebody take away your license immediately and get you off the public roadways!!!
What you can do is park further away!
FURTHER AWAY?!?!
Yes, let that handicapped space go unoccupied and park further away to make more use of your legs, which means you’ll get a wee bit more activity into your daily life.
MORE ACTIVITY?!?!
Yes, letting that handicapped space go unoccupied and parking further away to get a wee bit more activity into your daily life is something you should want to do because, well, a wee bit more activity means…
That’s right!
You burn a wee bit more calories!!!
Parking further away has benefits other than simply working more exercise into your day to increase your non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT).
Let’s take a look at some of them!
BENEFITS:
• Don’t have to stop for oncoming foot traffic.
• Less chance of people dinging your car when exiting or entering theirs.
• Can point your finger and laugh uncontrollably at others who came at the same time and are still waiting to park as you walk into your location.
• Don’t have to embarrass yourself attempting to park between cars.
• Can park your car in all kinds of ridiculous angles because no one else is going to park where you are so you won’t be inconveniencing anyone by parking like an absolute dick.
• Stop burning gas while driving around looking for the optimal spot.
• No longer waste time waiting for someone to leave so you can take their space.2Why is it that when you’re in a packed lot looking for parking and someone leaves, it takes them F-O-R-E-V-E-R to get the fuck out of the space you want. Like really, did you just get inside your car and die, motherfucker?!?!
• Be closer to the exit so you’re not behind a logjam of people when you’re trying to leave.
• Won’t mow down pedestrians as your head is turned to the side looking for spaces instead of to the road ahead.
Yeah, parking further away has a lot of things working for it!
So what are you going to do now instead of dropping your passengers off and then circling the parking lot over and over and over again until a really close spot becomes available or skipping that altogether and just going straight to saying “fuck it” as you proceed to park in a space designated for the disabled?
Yup, what you’re gonna do is park a couple of yards away where a ton of empty spaces are and then walk those couple of yards to the entrance of wherever you’re going!
